I think I might try the My Skill. Game is getting a tad too easy. I'm 12-2 with the Vikings so far. I still have Chicago and the Giants left.

I'm enjoying this more than any Madden since 05 (that's my favorite one). I really don't understand why people on OS are acting like it's a horrible game and not a representation of real football. It's seems damn close to real football to me. I'm gonna start a new chise when the patch comes out. Especially since Favre will retire after this season in my Vikings chise, I'm sure. Can't decide between using the Jags, or the Seahawks to use those killer green jerseys.
MySkill is still working pretty good for me. I tried going back to preset sliders just for the heck of it, and it does not compare IMO. Only thing with MS is that you will have to change the AI's sliders as your skill level goes up to high points. If not, get ready to go home in a cowering mess.
If you don't like messing with sliders once in a while, take a team that sucks bad and go up against a great team. That will lower your skill level points and help even things out. :waytogo:

I just beat Dickerson's rushing record with Adrian Peterson. Only took 14 games (he missed 2 due to injury).
How many yards?
I think I ended up with 2113 or somewhere around there. I didn't smash it (though I would've had he not gotten hurt). He's a beast in this game. 5.8 ypc for the season, 150 ypg, and only 2 games under 100 yards, 24 tds. Then, in my first playoff game, ran for 302 yards with him against the Saints. Now I get the Redskins in NFC Championship (they somehow went 13-3 in year one...).

Almost done with my Vikings chise. I'm only doing year one because I'm assuming Favre's going to retire, and I don't remember the last time I won a Super Bowl on Madden. When the second patch drops, I'll start my real chise.
That's still really cool that you broke the record. At least you did it with someone that could in theory break it IF given enough attempts per game.

I don't understand all the hate at OS and the Madden forum on the EA Sports website myself. Sure, the game is not perfect by no means but it is much, much better than the last four or five IMO. It looks like the series is headed in the right direction IMO.
NB, I agree with you on this. It's not perfect, nor was 2k football.

Madden 10 is a big step in the right direction for the series. It will never be a hardcore SIM (unless the sliders are that adjustable).

It's a good FUN game that does a pretty good job of football. It's still the best NFL game EA has put out on the PS3/360

This year's version is close enough for me. Using Myskill made it all the better. No more screwing around with sliders every other game-That gets old fast....
I'm going to say that the new Madden now takes the crown as the best video football yet for me. Beating the old tired yet true 2K5 and 2K4. I can put those discs to rest now.
Every game plays out different and a win is NOT a given. :waytogo:

Add on note for "D-Man"-I'm still using the broadcast cam-I'm getting comfortable with it and use it exclusively. It really opens up the passing lanes. If they could put some zoom in it when they do another patch, I'd say we got a true football cam that emulates what you see on Sunday :cheers4:

After talking with others in the "rearranging" thread- I'm curious, who all has dumped this year's Madden and went on? did you trade it in for something else and what game was it?
As soon as the season i'm playing is done, I will dump Madden and either
A. Trade it in for a soccer game-most likely FIFA-Yes Dawdler, FIFA!
B. Trade it in for Guitar Hero 5 or
C. Sell it, keep the cash and play Rockband 2-Smackdown 2010 and my old Rugby game on the PS2 for the good part of winter.
