Yep me too! As for as Online franchise goes I'm taking the 1st effort look at it. It's in and it can only get better. Really pumped for the game.

I'm sorry, i appreciate the write, but what did he say that wasn't already mentioned? i feel he just hit all the new improvements and gave everybody reassurance to let their guard down.

besides, i never really see Pasta saying anything negative...im sure the game isn't completely perfect (pointin out small presenation issues isn't really sayin much negative).

but it seems that Ian trusts Pasta, so the feedback he did mention to Ian is appreciated. hopefully they have another community day and those same guys can give Ian their unbiased opinion

In the games where I played for an extended period (at least a half) on All-Pro it seemed like it did begin to play a role. That was with 4 minute accelerated quarters too so not nearly as long as most of us will be playing. Tough to say one way or the other based on sample size though.

Actually, Pasta was quite hard on M09, especially for robo-QB.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear that CP is lethal.

That sounds problematic.

Nevertheless, Madden 10 sounds much improved. I want to give credit where it is due: Ian & co. have done a great job this year. It seems like they have added more in one development cycle than was added in the previous two years.

Where are the penalties? Be nice to see.

I hope they fix the damn replays on the PS3 version i can't stand how the ball doesen't spiral when it leaves the QB's hands. It looks like he's throwing a loaf of wheat bread.
