ill agree to an extent.it is the players finding glitches and e.a. gives u the tools to avoid glitchers n cheezers.however...some things in this game are pathetic.2 that come to mind are dropped picks and man coverage.this years game is good but luck is to much of a factor.in 2k football i ran mostly man cov just like real football.not blitzing but flat out man coverage with 4 or 5 rushers.u would get killed in madden doing this.in 2k if i played zone and my man was in position he got the pick 4 outta 5 times.in madden they miss 4 outta 5.the luck comes in where things like peyton manning throws a pick 6 right to a defender in the flat but it gets dropped because peytons ratings r so good.that b.s.i think my biggest peeve is a.i. adaptation.in 2k games if u only passed n didnt run or visa versa or used the same play enough times i would destroy my opponent be cause the a.i. would adapt.not in madden tho.it seems the makers of madden feel they have to thrown in b.s. plays to keep the games close.in 2k i always played ppl near my own level as i do in madden.the difference is that in 2k i have blown ppl out and been blown out because me or the other player just played a better game.in madden its always close between 2 close leveled players cause the a.i. bs evens it out.i would rather play a game like the old nintendo sports games where all the players are the same and u have to win on pure skill rather than dominate someone n barely win cause alltho they turned it over 4 times more that me they got 2 kickoffs for t.d's.madden is ok but its the same problems every year and they never fix em.e.a. should do what jerry jones,al davis and dan schneider need to do..step aside and let ppl who know what theyre doing handle the football operations.ppl like the developers ok 2k sports in this case.
