The only thing that pisses me off is when one of your top draft picks gets injured during the Supersim Preseason games. I mean, c'mon man.

In the past I've always turned injuries off during pre-season. I've since stopped and decided to just deal with it. I like when the back ups get a chance to play. It helps ensure improvement for the following year.

If you're going to put in the time, you may as well do it right......fraidy cat.

If passing the ball is your biggest strength on Offense, drafting an OL in the Top 20 is a waste of a pick.

Love doing fantasy drafts.. I do the same thing as purock said...

Me n a friend always do em together.. He'll focus on offense and ill focus on defense (of course) .... So basically neither of us can score lol.. He cant do anything on my defense and i cant move the ball to save my life. Always makes for an interesting game lol

Hey guys, I have a question. I don't know if this is the best place to put it but whatever. I think my 360 may have the three red lights of death or whatever it's called. Everytime I try to play Madden, the game will last about five minutes then totally freeze up while making a weird sound. After this happens, the three red lights will pop up. Is it what I think it is? How come I'm able to play the game for a handful of minutes?

Don't hold me to this, but I believe three red rings means a critical hardware failure. I'd probably go to Xbox's website and see what you can find out about it. It's definitely not a good thing though.

It does. The 360 will most likely have to be sent in for repairs.

They said it would cost 99 to fix it because I don't have a warranty anymore -_____- thank goodness my friend will do it for 30 lol

Yea that's way to much money. If it wasn't for my friend being able to fix it for 30, I don't even know if it would have been worth it. I just want the damn thing to play Madden and Dead Island when it comes out

Yea well the service isn't much better when you have a iPod or an iPhone. They just give you a refurbished one. Apple needs to die

How about actual realtistic AI. You know, ones where they dont let you score 70-90 points a game. Or how about AI that grows with you. That as you get better and better so does the AI so it matches your game play and gives you a challenge everytime, but not that hard so its unrealistic.

You ever try the "My Skill" option? Sounds like its what your looking for.

Stupid question but if there is indeed a "[i]lockout[/i]" next season, will Madden 12 even come out?

Of course. They'd probably make even more money. We would have to get our fix somehow.

Im a huuuge Franchise mode fan! I would really like them to take some stuff from NFL Head Coach 09 and put that towards the franchise mode. Even things like being able to sign players to a practice squad or sign undrafted rookies would be great to see.

Also i would like a little more consistency/realism with the Franchise mode CPU-made players that you draft in the future years. Its a little weird when you have linebackers who are 5'9" and 250 lbs. or wide receivers who are 6'8" and 180 lbs. Anything they can add to make it more like the actual process of running a team throughout the season and offseason.

Basically, just take ESPN 2k5 and update the rosters and upgrade the graphics. I'd be happy.

If they don't go deeper with Franchise Mode and even out both sides of the ball in this one, I won't be purchasing.

I am with you! I already have Madden 11. If Madden 12 is just a rebadged Madden 11 with the same old franchise mode and superstar, what is the point?

That's what I say before every Madden, yet somehow I always have a spare $60 at the release date. SMH

Please. With the games that are coming out this year, if Madden doesn't bring it I'll put $60 dollars toward preordering one of the handful of games that are coming out this year. Such a bad year for my pockets to be a gamer. lol

I know, right? I'm already behind schedule, with several titles on my wishlist that were recently released. But buying a copy of Madden is like an ritual. They haven't made a significant progress for years, so I'd just be lying to myself if a similar lack of effort would change that now.
