As someone who has multiple hobbies, I find the attitude towards "tournament players" is the same no matter the hobby. The tournament player is all about winning and breaking he system in any way possible [sometimes even cheating] to get the win. Those who are not regular tournament goers then resent these people because they are ruining the spirit of the game.

In shooting competetions, a style known as "run n' gun" [like the football playbook] gets its name from those who use any type of aftermarket part to improve their equipment and rely on a stratagy of hitting the target as quickly as possibly with little care of aim. They find that the lower points the score by bearly hitting the targe outwighs the points gained form hiting the bullseye. Traditonalists feel you need to be a great shot first and speed second and preach "anyone can miss fast."

I also play Magic the gathering, a very complex trading card game geared toward 20 somethings and have actually won a couple big time events in my day. In this card game, the tounament players are known often as "net deckers" because in steado f comming up with their own ideas of decks and card combinations, they will just wait untill a pro ewvent finishes and copy one of their decks, off of the internet. Who needs skill when you let someone who does build a deck for you? Now they take these net decks and play local events with them and think they are great players because they have a lot of money for the cards and just copy those who are good at tournaments.

Is this sounding at all familer? this is the nature of competition. NASCAR has drivers all the time geting in trouble for breaking the rules on how the adjust their cars, the Pats got in trouble for video tapping, the Cowboy's Jimmy Johnson admits going through the 49ers, Giants and other teams trash durring the regular season for game plan information to help them win latter in the year and the post season.

I am not condoning any of this action, but I find it funny the similarities and how many people that complain about Madden and tournament players talk in a since that if X or y get taken away, then the cheese will end. Honestly they will always find something becasue this is still a computer program and there will always be flaws. i just hope that we will get the most flaw-free and true sim football game ever. this is also why I could care less about tournaments any more. i like the spirit of the games and are there to have fun.

It should be fairly evident that it's all new stuff when we're talking about thing like "pocket doesn't set up fast enough" - since Madden didn't ever really have a pocket.

So the feedback was essentially related to 09 rather than this version. I can understand the work required i just seemed to have misunderstood, if it was done before the playing began then it makes things better.

Madden 10 accessories

What we DO have:
-Towels
-Primary/Secondary TC Gloves
-HANDWARMERS!
-Flak Jacket? [referring to the Matt Hasselbeck SS]
-Spats? [referring to the Michael Clayton SS]


What we DON'T have [or aren't aware of]:
-Eye black
-Neck pads
-More cleat styles and TC cleats.
-New mouthpieces
-New chinstraps
-Loose sleeves
-Half sleeves
-http://tinyurl.com/df8thj

Is there ANY chance we'll see some of this stuff in Madden 10? Stuff like eye black, TC cleats, and neckpads I can't believe aren't in as of now. I think that's crazy. Being a Giants fan, I KNOW where Tuck is at all times because I always see that neck roll.


I feel like I could be missing some stuff, so add to it if I did.

MRxAmazing,

There was eye black in the Big Ben pic.

[Exonerated]

Eye black is already in the game. Ben Roethlisberger had it in the 1st screenshot.

But that doesn't confirm if we can put them on CAP's. There has always been eye black on current players.

Great Blog though these have me worried

Pretty easy to get outside......."Roll and Chuck" again
"disengaged moves" arn't working enough....still too much suction

I hope you guys hammered them on that and really drove the point home about how imperative it is that it gets fixed...If it isn't, the damm Cheesers will survive


Im really glad Ian is taking this approach this year in getting them in early, hopefully theres plenty enough time to kill off the remaining source of the Cheesers' power in the game
