the passing game is broken in EA sports next gen titles, I don't give a fuck what anyone else says, its fucking broken.
My guy runs an out route, he breaks and I let go of the ball, shit goes 3 yards behind him. If my QB actually throws a decent pass, the WR is tackled immediately. And that is all if the defense miraculously DOESN'T read the pass from the exact millisecond I press the pass button, with every player on the damn field immediately turning around and breaking on the ball and intercepting it. Linebackers jump 8 feet high and 5 yards backwards to pick passes off. Everyone has eyes in the back of their head.
and the fact that touch passing is gone. try to throw a corner route? better have 10 yards of separation because those DBs and LBs are going to jump a thousand feet and swat it away, since it is impossible to lob the ball unless you are throwing a streak route.
oh yea and your guys fumble three times a game, as does the CPU
I may have to pick this up for PS2 or something
APF kicks Maddens ass on 360 though
Madden 08 is unplayable online...the fact that everyone cheeses like hell, and the fact that the game is flat out broken with the default settings. I refuse to play you fuckers who all out blitz every play and throw bombs to Randy Moss all game. This game does an incredibly bad job of representing football.
