I haven't touched EA football in many years (burned badly by NCAA '07 and it took me this long to get over it...), and there are a lot of the pre-snap and in-game commands. This ain't exactly NES where there are only 2 buttons, and it's hard to remember what everything does. I understand if they don't want to print a full manual to the game (although cut the BS that it has anything to do with being "green"...), but they should at least put in a 1-page insert in the box with a list of the offensive and defensive commands. I can't tell you how many times, already, that my buddies and I are playing and we'll ask how you do something, and then wish we had a manual or a sheet to leave on the table that we could both look at during the game. The game has way too many commands to be able to just wing it.

I dunno...I just had to get that off my chest. I can't be the only one that is annoyed by this though, right?....

It does feel like something is missing. But then again I havent looked at the manual since the sega days. I wanted to know the slide protection button. But, no manual! Lol oh well, just a sign of the times.

It's in the game...

I agree, if there is no manual then the price should drop $1.00 or $2.00 right

that was the first thing i noticed. Granted i never read them but i felt that it was part of that package and did feel a bit cheated.

Yes, yes you are.

I don't mind it but I understand the frustration if your someone who constantly looks at the manual. Perhaps there is a place where you can find it online and then print it off.
