What do you mean by off to the side? Using the left stick to place the ball?

That shouldn't be the case though. This psychic BS is the first thing that has to go next year, it almost ruins the game.

Yes. It generally works best throwing to the WR on the inside.

There's definitely situations where it's BS, but the one he's referring to is not.

Correct, what I'm referring to SHOULD be happening, it's just hard to get the ball in when they're so quick.

Thank you

Whoops, I thought he was referring to when the safety on the other side of the field knows exactly when and where the ball is going. Reading skills a little off on a Sunday All in all, they need to implement a system where the players can't react to what they can't see. I think it was FIFA maybe I saw they were doing something like this?

After playing a TON of games w/ the auto sprint [OFF], I think the difference between not sprinting and sprinting is minimal, if that...

Can someone confirm this? I need to know if I'm losing my mind or something.

What I do is on big plays I'll switch off (sprint, no sprint, sprint, no sprint etc)

THANK YOU!! Someone finally noticed. Its all preference, the majority of the madden detractors were probably never really huge fans of the series. I don't play demos but I have been playing Madden 11 for two weeks (I just got it, paying 60 dollars for entertainment purposes just doesn't sit right with me anymore) and if 12 is an improvement over it, then I can't wait til christmas time to cop this bad boy. It should be around 40 bucks then right?

It should also be completely patched by then too hopefully.
