Haven't bought Madden in years, think I might pick this up...been itching for a football game and since NCAA isn't coming back any time soon seemingly (fuck you NCAA) this is it.
is that just more stuff to click through that makes little difference during the game itself?
one thing I've always hated is when playing as a LB or CB in CFM is I don't get any points for doing my job in the particular play that is called. Specifically in coverage - you could shut down the opposing receiver for doing your job in the play, but get no credit. It's almost like you have to allow the receiver to catch it, THEN tackle him to get any points so you can continue to develop. Same with playing LB; should get points for filling the correct gap or providing contain properly, or running a stunt properly. as it was....you basically had to freelance all over the field to try to get stats, so you could get points, so you could develop. I've always felt that part was badly broken.
eagerly awaiting some CPers to get the game and give their opinions. [Reply]

I typically only ever played superstar modes as QB or RB but the few times I tried as a LB or S were pretty trash. It way overvalued tackles for XP. You're better off freelancing to pad your guy's stats and get XP than you are playing sound, fundamental football. [Reply]
