I respect your opinion as a fellow OS vet. I was just messing with you, sorry if I came off like I was being a jerk.

I've given this game plenty of props, it's giving me a nice football fix(even though it's still early), but some of the issues I just can't ignore at this stage in Madden's life cycle. I know they've got an uphill battle, but some stuff just comes off as lazy/poor/amateurish design choices.

With that said I will reserve my true judgement of this game until it is a complete product(all patching completed).

I respect that and I knew where you were coming from

I look at it different that if it was the same guys this whole time then WTF..
It hasn't been and thankfully we seem to have a group that cares about football and not gimmicks that try and hide the crap in the game..
I'll leave it at that.
Every FB game I've played has had some issues (Money plays, suspect AI etc..) and I feel as a whole this game has been the most enjoyable so far.

Not giving them a pass on any issues and I will certainly be here to post displeasure if things don't continue to improve OR if they start to regress back into Madden ball over football.

I don't think the CPU properly uses player progression/game prep. After one season, Eli Manning is a free agent at 69 overall after the Giants cut him. Carson Palmer regressed to a 73, then a 67 overall, and is the third string QB on the Patriots. There are plenty of these situations.

I haven't tried 32 team control, nor auto-pilot.

one thing I hated years ago in madden was the A.I. for keeping backs in to pick up the blitz. The last few years has been much improved in that area. But im noticing in M15 a little regression. its no where near as bad as years past but I hope the devs keep an eye on this.
The back should hang out with the QB looking for an unblocked blitz or a defender who breaks free, then he should spring into action. Im seeing him leave the pocket and run off in some cases looking for someone to block, sometimes running up to the line engaging in double teams while the original blocker is holding his own. and my favorite, running to find a second level defender who hasn't even charged the pocket

Its nowhere near as bad as years past but please keep it in mind has you continue to program blocking A.I. (lead blocking A.I. on runs as well)

I guess my early impressions of the game weren't exactly fair. I played 2 games against the CPU, then another 10 online in head to head quickplay. That's a pretty easy way to make the game not fun at all.

I've been playing offline the last couple nights exclusively and I do have to say this game plays great. The few good games I had online that I enjoyed, that's offline against the CPU every game for me. The game has issues, but to be short and sweet, I like the game. I'm getting realistic stats and realistic looking gameplay. Nothing gamebreaking is happening and I am being wowed at times. There isn't much I could as for from the gameplay. I haven't jumped into Connected Careers yet, but right now staying offline, I am having a blast.

I hope the remainer of tuners and patches only focus to smooth out animations, fix bugs, and enhance whats already in the game. can live with the flaws because im enjoying the overall game so much. they scare me when they go in screwing around too much with the game once its playing well.

Straight bonkers, lol. I've had two really nice games since the tuner though. I hope the game continues on this path. 16 could really be something special if they continue with this kind of momentum.
