Should be a fun one to watch with Reggie Bush on Monday Night. But we won't get to see T.O.

I think the only ones saddened at the no-TO thing are the media who were just waiting for him and Parcells/Bledsoe to go nuts at each other on the sideline.

Why must you talk like that? Did you not learn proper english in school or something? Chill i usually described as an adjective to being cold, so I guess your cold for some odd reason.

Well, my step dad picked the game up for me at midnight. The game is great. The new blocking control comes in handy a lot. I used it to pop Ryan Moats for a huge touchdown run.  The skill stick is also great but takes a while to get used to. It is awesome if you have a running back like Brian Westbrook because he can shake tackles easily. On the defensive side of the ball, rushing the passer is odd. You use the other stick, but it can get annoying. You can bull rush the passer by pushing up but when the blocker gets off of you, you do the hit stick dive. Returning kicks is much better now. You can actually move the ball some. I returned a punt against the Cardinals in my first game. I also like the feature where you can push a button and you can call for a pass. Superstar mode is pretty cool so far. I am up to my first pre-season game in it. It is cool before the draft because you can do a ton of drills to get your attributes up. I am a running back and you can run the 40, do the running drill, a route running drill, a pass catching drill, punt return drill and a kick return drill. You have 4 chances to do each of them. Practice is much better this time around because you are always your player. I started the pre-season game but did not finish it. You do the plays as yourself. Than, you can chose to do the rest of the plays or go through an accelerated version until you are in again. I just have to find out how to get into that accelerated version. The kicking is weird as well. I shanked two extra points at first but I think I am slowly getting the hang of it. If you have any questions, you can ask. I am sure most of you will have the game by the time I am back on. |

Freak to play in accelerate mode: Press start while in the game, bottom right their is a thing USER / CPU, press L or R to change it , when it is cpu, youll only play when your Superstar is on the field  I searched it like 30 min yesterday to finally find it  |

I beleive this game is quite amazing, but it's different. It's going to take some heavy playing time to get used to all the controls untill I feel compfortable to go into a season on All-Madden lol.
I'm a SS and it's not easy to get tackles or make plays playing that position. However, the new angles for the camera are a nice touch.
Vernon Davis killss in this game

I got the game last night at midnight and played till about 3. Superstar mode is amazing. I got drafted in the third round by the Miami Dolphins as a Free Safety. I love how they have you control only your player, fantastic! The game is tight, and everyone was right, HoF Edition was nothing THAT special. Nice cover, and ok interviews, plus the PS3 preview was nice too.
My review of it will come later.
