I prefer the new strat pad, specially now that you don't have to push the d-pad in any direction to "activate" it. It's faster, therefor better IMHO.

Yea I've gotten used to the strategy pad too, only thing that annoyed me is the tap you had to make at first just to make the strategy pad come up and they've taken that out.

It seems inconsistent though to me. When I don't have to activate it, I love it. But even after downloading the patch, it seemed sometimes it needed to be activated and at other times it didn't. Will just have to play with it more I guess.

Sad days bud, I do not own a PS3 and have not had to put up with this, but EA really needs get **** right.

EA team = Fail...

I can't believe that this is going on. It's been out for almost a month.

Using it more will definitely change things, I wasn't happy about it from the begging because I was just so used to the old pre-play control. Few games later I just started getting the hang of it, took a while, but it just seems so much more fluid.

Like the patch so far, game feels a bit smoother. And the replays look nicer as well. The lighting in Miami looks better. And is it just me or does the ball look like its a bit smaller???? (which is a good thing)

Why can't they explain what the changes were to gameplay balancing? It is so annoying how the Madden team ALWAYS does this. Just tell me what has been changed instead of making users try and figure it out.

I like having the semi old-school pre-snap controls but it seems it is somewhat broken as you have to use the d pad when doing defensive left stick controls and you can't quickly change the OL shifting. Pretty sure it was LB or LT in 10 and I tried that last night but nada.

As pointed out I noticed the left analog stick doesn't work with the "old" system for adjustments.

Also I haven't seen this posted but I've been unable to spotlight a receiver since updating, is anyone else having this problem?
