Oh, and the Bungles are rated 67 (or 68-- I forget).  Yowch :pinch:

Big Ben is rated 99 for his rape rating.

Hmm, I've encountered this with most EA football games over the years, but it never gets annoying. 

I was playing a cripple fight, er Rivalry Game between the Bungles & Browns on All-Pro (I usually play at the default setting but I was being adventurous).  I was up on the Brownies 14-0 at the half & was shutting down their offense.  Their offense woke up & scored 2 easy TDs in the 4th quarter (which might have just been my usual ineptitude at pass defense), so we were tied when I had the ball with just over a minute left.  I marched down the field & set up a 44 yard FG with 5 seconds left.  Lined it up perfectly & nailed with about 5 yards to spare.  Just as it was sailing through the uprights I get a holding call that puts me out of range. 

So we go into OT & I get the ball first.  Same exact thing at about the 25 yard line.  Had to win the damned game with a Leon Hall INT returned for a touchdown. 

I might do a dynasty with a non-Bungles team.  Likely candidates are: Colts (Dallas Clark, nuff said), Eagles, or Ravens (Flacco!!).  Can't use the Bungles unless I edit Cedric Benson's stats.  He runs like a goddamned pig in the game.

4th Quarters in Madden. :bleeding:  I swear, the shit is a victim of the infamous Mario Cart Law:  No matter how much you're destroying the opposition, they always stage a semi-comeback at the end.

And... I broke down and bought the game for 360. :blush:

I think I can hold off until September when rumoured 360 price cuts come into effect, then I'm getting this or NCAA. :sadblush:

hell, every EA sports game cheats in the last quarter or period. The NHL games are bad for that.

The best thing that ever happened to Philly was Vick playing there.  The shittiest fans in the world get the shittiest dogkiller in the world as a backup QB.

It's not really a price drop. It's get the elite model for the price of the Pro thing.

Still too expensive.

That's what you get for playing prevent!  Shit is as awful in Madden as it is in real life.  All it prevents is you winning.  I played the first preseason game of the Bills v. the Bears, won 70-0.  Suckers.  I love how at the half when it was 35-0 and I had like 230 passing and 75 rushing yards compared to their -4 rushing and 25 passing, the halftime girl said "it looks like both teams are putting up a solid offensive effort".  Say what? :lol:

Oh, also:  For those of you who said it felt really slow, there's an option for game speed.  The default is set to slow, I switched it to normal prior to playing it at slow, and the game felt normal.

Yeah, but knowing that's coming down the pipe (and that I'd want a harddrive, not the arcade model) prevents me from doing anything until then...

Amazon had 360 Arcades on sale for $159 today :)

edit: just saw you didn't want an Arcade, but you can shop around for a cheap hard drive to slap on it, like my brother did early this year.

Putting Cris Collinsworth in the game was a bad call.  He's annoying the shit out of me now.  Bring back the generic radio announcer guy.
