    too much pointless presentation- when I pick a play, I need to immediately see my formation in normal gameplay view, not that sideways broadcast view.. I shouldnt need to waste time hitting x to cut through it...it wastes time ,... i need to make audibles and hot routes from what I see

    I'll agree with this. I'd like the option to get rid of the broadcast cam look when coming to the line.

    I wish Ask Madden was better and more like NCAA's Ask Coach. Ask Madden only provides three plays while NCAA has many. I don't like Gameflow (although I haven't given it an honest attempt this year) but NCAA's Ask Coach on offense would expose me to some new plays here and there and keep me from getting in to a rut. I always call my own defensive plays.

    It's always been an annoyance for me that when you call a nickel zone against a 3 WR set, I firmly believe the defense should auto-flip so the nickel CB always lines up against the slot WR. This should be true for the cpu and human imo. Madden and NCAA don't do this. But what is really annoying is that when I call a Goalline Man play against a 1 WR set, the lone CB on my defense doesn't line up against the WR if he's on the left! That's retarded! It will slide my LB out to cover the WR unless I flip the play. Poorly done imo.

    And Gus Johnson might not be so bad IF he didn't push his voice so much. I know a lot of guys like him for NCAA basketball but this guy has never even been a top play by play guy for football. I can live with him but EA needs to record a lot more calm commentary from him. I really don't think EA has a clue on how to do commentary properly. I know for MLB 2K10 that Gary Thorne came in and did 70 hours of new commentary recording and he was already in the game! Furthermore, Gary said they didn't use a script. They just envision scenarios and just discuss the game. Plus the guys record the commentary together. EA needs to hire a sound guy from 2K as those guys get it.

    So you're saying you can keep your enthusiasm after blowing your load?

    My last 6 games online:

    28-0
    44-14
    31-0
    31-0
    33-7
    24-7

    Before that, I had given up at least 14 in every game I had played. I love the 4-6. No one runs on that shit.

    1) Note to self - if I ever do play online, never play IOU unless I want to get my ass kicked.

    2) What is the consensus on QB accuracy offline? I do see a decent amount of misfires but I think there should be more. What have people done with the QB accuracy sliders?

    3) I've seen the cpu RBs pick holes very well, use stiff arms and break tackles but I haven't seen a lot of the shiftier backs use jukes or spins much. I haven't played a lot against them (just played 1/2 a game against Jamaal Charles) but I just wanted to know if you guys have seen the shiftier RBs run like shifty backs. I've been able to make some nice jukes but I haven't seen too many out of the cpu. Here was a nice juke to the outside with Bush.

    I don't think the DL moves work right. You are supposed to push down on the r-stick for power moves and left/right for finesse moves I think. But I have found that pushing left/right does nothing. Whenever I try left or right the OT just pushes me to the outside and I do nothing. If you want to rush the passer just push down on the r-stick and the cpu will sort of pick the move for you. I was rushing with rookie Von Miller of Denver and I pushed down and I saw some swims and spins with him that were cool. But it appears we don't really have a lot of control over the moves the way it currently is. I don't play with the DL that much but this appears different than NCAA.

    The accuracy on the deep ball is pretty bad for me. There's usually several instances a game where I will have a step on the defender, step into the throw, then proceed to overthrow everyone by 10 yards. I thought it was just Bradford at first because his deep ball accuracy isn't the best, but I've started sailing them with Matt Ryan, too.

    I have noticed that deep balls seem to be a lot more inaccurate than short or medium stuff. I've only got the sliders at 45 a piece right now on All-Pro. It's pretty decent but I don't want to drop it down anymore if I can't hit the deep pass.

    I need to see better production from CPU QB's and HB's. Once I get those sliders where I want, I will be a happy camper.

    So... I haven't popped open my game yet. Is it true there are no sliders for Offline Franchise Mode? If so, I'm just going to return this game before I regret my purchase. I damn near cancelled my pre-order but waited until it was too late.

    They're there, but only in the game (not available in any of the menus outside of playing a game against someone) and the special teams sliders affect both you and the CPU instead of being separated.
