I have found it to be impossible to do anything on offense. I can run the ball ok, but the passing game is very difficult.

It almost seems like most of the pass patterns were designed for a field that is 100 yards WIDE. The receivers always run out of bounds. Kind of hard to complete a pass that way.

And the receivers are never open. (unless they are out of bounds)

I have played 4 games and have scored 1 touchdown.

This is frustrating.

Try screens, outs, ins, quick slants as those seem like the basics.

Establish the run and use play action.

Try different playbooks. I like run & gun.

Yeah I can complete ins and curls, occasionally. But outs do not work. The receiver runs the pattern out of bounds 100 percent of the time.

I always hated that. I never throw to an out route. My favorite patterns are actually short passes and hitting the receiver on the run so he has some YAC room. I usually run slants, ins, posts, curls and crossing patterns all towards the middle of the field because even if your receiver isn't out of bounds on an out route, you can't be convinced that:
A) Your QB might throw it out of bounds
B) There isn't a defender there because the HB/FB flare routes aren't even on the screen (I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THIS)

I guess I will just need to practice more. I must say that I am pretty disappointed. The last time I played Madden was on my Playstation 2 and it was MUCH better than this.

You have to hit the WR as they are coming out of their break. If you hold the WR's button down, it'll be a dark, if you tap it, normal throw, if it you tap it twice it'll be a lob.

4 games. 1 touchdown.

Madden for PS2 > Madden for 360. This game is garbage.

Yeah.. the Madden/NCAA football games I played on 360 I hated. The only next gen Madden/NCAA game I'll play will be only for the PS3 (that's because of the familiar controller layout).

I will say this, though.. Madden/NCAA '08 for the X-Box still rocks.

I don't know. It might be, since everything's so sped up and what not. I got used to it, though.

Madden 10 is aiming for realism, though. Their goal is to make the game so realistic, that a coach could pick up the controller and beat a regular Madden player. Given, I don't know how close they'll get to that, but I think that this new installment will certainly be more realistic.

Heres what you do. You push the eject button on your 360, put Madden back in its case, then back in whatever you store your games in. Go to the store(which ever store you shop for games at) and buy All Pro Football 2K8. Go home, open it and put in in your 360. And enjoy.

Wait for Madden 10 dude seriously. Madden 09 is trash.

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
