Its been a while since Ive updated, and in that time I have found some invaluble facts about this game. First, for all you Vikings fans out there, Adrian Peterson IS the BEST running back on this game. Hes too fast, too big, too agile, too strong. I could go on like this, but you get the point. Another thing is many people will be tempted to write off this game because there is apparently no defense. On the contrary there is more of a defense than in both the previous two editions. The difference is that on 08 and 09, you can call an all-out blitz on every play and your DBs will still manage to pick it off. This year, defensive playcalling requires a brain. I recommend doing some practices to familiarize yourself with how you must call defensive plays. If you call a blitz on third and long, youll get burned by the reciever. You call a back-off, prevent play on first and ten, youll get burned by the RB. Another invaluble asset is the Skill Drills. They will help you hone your skill in passing, running, pass defense and run defense. If you utilize these, you will be able to make every tackle, break every tackle and thread the needle through the toughest D. You then do a practice, to test your newfound abilities. The controls for Madden are so in-depth, it has taken me three years to perfect all of my skills, with repetetive redoing of the Skill Drills. If you are good, you will be able to start the play (on defense) as a defensive end, get pressure on the QB, the after the throw, switch to a DB, intercept it, break a few tackles and have a TD. The preplay controls are fairly useless, unless you are really good and can read the offense/defense, figure out what audible to use and make a play. On offense, you can motion eligible players, send reciever on a different route than originally designated, shift your offensive line protection, switch the direction of a run play, or simply audible into a completely new play. On defense, you can spotlight a reciever to shut him down, shift linemen, shift linebackers, call new types of coverages for DBs change any defenders assignment, or change plays completely. Another ingenious idea by EA is the following: There is music on the game. It is trashy death screamo metal. However, you can change all the music to NFL Films themes. These instrumental tracks are very recognizable, as they are played in many NFL commercials. I find it very relaxing as Im runnig for touchdowns in rushing attack (The only game mode in which music is played). The music is only played on the main menu and submenus. I have nothing else as yet, so game on!
