How you figure?
Everything I've read suggests just the opposite.

OKAY

I did it! Don't ask me why, I think I was being so negative so I could go in like a movie you think is gonna be shitty and then you are like, hey that wasn't that bad.

But downloading now, I had extra M$ points to burn so I was like **** it. May as well get early acccess, lol

the demo actually wasn't that bad, I noticed some improvements

Okay, is there a chiefsplanet online connected careers thing or a franchise?

I want in! I'll be your most active member

Same game different year. Pisses me off.

Why can't they fix the simple shit? The difference between all pro and all madden is stupid. And I know it's pretty pointless but is it that hard to add in the visible mouth pieces? If I remember right they had them in like madden 03

Will be buying this when it releases on the 28th everybody thats played it so far how is it ?

How's the chiefs team on there ?

I just played 1 career game as the Chiefs and started Stanzi, he did well. I'm only on All Pro btw. But JC did ok, a couple of decent runs. On defense, Tamba falls on his ass most of the time and Berry is a stud.

I also played an online game as the Packers vs the Eagles and won with a last second comeback drive to score a TD when I was down by 3. Felt good to win one.

I'm still pretty rusty, but I can tell this Madden is better than any other this gen. The blocking on the online game was putrid for both sides. We both couldn't run, he did get one big run with McCoy though and the pass blocking was pretty shady, lots of insta sacks and the lag was pretty bad too.

Bump, how'd you get the game early?

I'd be all in. But I have PS3.

3 ways:

For $25 you can buy EA Season Ticket that allows you to download EA Sports titles 3 days prior to release, as well as get discounts on DLC. The download does deactivate after the retail release date.

Mom and Pop store breaking the street date.

Download a pirated version.

I'm curious about the EaSports Season Ticket thing, but sounds like it cost a bit too much. I'll probably just go rent ncaa for a day or two and wait it out until Tuesday.

I grabbed the season ticket for 2000 M$ points. I know I know, but I've had all these points sitting there for over a year. I figured may as well get the early access and play the shit out of it until tuesday, if I hate it, I won't buy it, if I like it, which I am liking it, I'll buy it.

I play on All Pro too. I used to play on All Madden and tear shit up, but the last few years All Madden is just insanely cheap. I need to get some good sliders because All Madden is too ridiculous, and All Pro gets to be too easy after a while. Maybe AM will be better this year?

I see you went ahead and plugged Stanzi in there too lol. Last year I played the first Chiefs season with Cassel because in the game he isn't bad. Good enough until I get to the draft and grab a QB (Pioli should take notes haha).

Im struggling to find appropriate sliders. As you said its too easy on ap and too cheesy on am.

****ing EA can suck a dick.

Had a few good seasons on All Madden mode with last year's game. Found a few decent slider sets on Operation Sports. Let someone else do the work without having to play eleventy billion games. Madden's always been tolerable to me with the right slider set. Too bad franchise mode was complete piece of shit.

well I'm not getting this game. At least not for now, maybe later when I can get it for $30. But I decided to splurge and get Windows 7 so that I could play Guild Wars 2. But I would have continued to buy Madden otherwise.

But I played another online game, damn it's hard to play defense. I was Patriots vs Ravens, it was 47-45. I was down by 2 with 30 seconds left and kicked a field goal and that gave him plenty of time to drive 50 yards in 2 plays to kick a field goal to beat me.

defense is pretty hard online, it seems. But I am a noob I guess.

just pass defense. Nobody can run for shit.
