I agree. Albeit, I just finished my first game but, all I saw were positives. The game is beautiful, game play seems smooth, the run game is better than NCAA IMO (and I love NCAA's run game) also the graphics are amazing. I think that I'm going to enjoy setting up my game plan. It could make the game much more challenging if used correctly. The strategy pad will take some getting used to but, I definitely don't hate it like other's do.

Between Madden and NCAA this is definitely EA's best year for football games in a long, long time. I'm very happy

They did work on it. How much, not sure.

They wanted it to occur less and become less warpy.

I have to admit, maybe not all that useful, but the coach in your ear while calling plays is pretty cool. But dang does it not sound like Dennis Leary? If not the guy needs to lay off the cigarettes. Anyone else hate the way he says Draw and Hurry.

I have to give EA props for the concept and the gameplan/gameflow feature that allows you to store your fav. plays and gameplan. The voice may be gimmicky but shows innovation.

The more I play this game the more I'm liking it.

I wish auto sprint didn't influence QB scramble....I want to run when I want out of the pocket...which stinks cause I'd use it to run /catch , but I want to control my own scraaaaaamble!!!!!!!

I have to say I'm relieved after playing the demo (PS3). Some of the things I've seen on other boards are grossly exaggerated. The gameflow is different but not horrible and it can be turned off. The strat pad isn't as horrible as a lot of people have made it out to be, it'll just take some getting used to and memorizing what button goes with what. I had a hard time running the ball until I turned off the auto speed burst, I would get to a hole and no burst, but after turning it off everything was fine. I threw an out route to a receiver on the sideline and guess what, he didn't run straight out of bounds. Also I could actually feel the difference in different types of players for example I could feel the agility and speed of Garcon when compared to the #2 TE Santi. Overall this madden looks to be a small step up from 10, is it perfect no.... but it's better then some people have made it out to be.
