I have said that they need to incorporate what they do with NCAA with the Break Tackle rating.
See my opinion the Breaking Tackle rating should be used to determine if they can break the tackle as well as multiple tackles while the Trucking and elusiveness should be used determine the quickness or severity of the move.
Such as someone with 92 BTK and 95 ELU could break multiple tackles and beat someone with high tackling but someone with 80 BTK and 95 ELU could do all the same moves with the same quickness but couldnt break multiple tackles or always beat someone with high tackling like a ray lewis but could make someone with low tackling like Samari Rolle look silly.
What do you guys think?

Madden needs a overhaul…a facelift…"go back to the drawing boards"…getting back to basics…big time! It's really not up to par with other sports games anymore and it's supposed to be EA's flagship title…no other sports game is as important as the NFL games. Ask 2k if it matters-

all Madden needs is Online Franchise like NCAA with a few things added in like the ability to create expansion teams again and have the CPU draft players and sign free agents based on real need, add in realistic crowd noise and then the game would be complete. The glitches need to be fixed too of course

I didn't find too many horrible glitches this year, but i know many will disagree

Now I see why Pasta put nba live ahead of 2k9…He is not a sim lover..he is an arcade type of baller…he said on his podcast that he thinks that games are to technical for him and he just wants to play nba live on line team play and just control one guy and not have to worry about the rest of the teams….if he was sim lover like most then he would know that 2k is much better and if defense is ever played in nba live it would be the first time…so pasta is not sim and now i get why he loves the bigs and nba live

we need the madden roster update

Nothing horrible, but some little things that seems to annoy gamers (chain gangs, refs). The game was rated very high, had an overrall rating of an "Excellent" (26 gaming site reviews averaged together). I think Madden just needs to add the small little things, combined with more ground breaking innovation. It's a great game, and has consistently stood the test of time but I do agree…the "wow" factor Madden is no longer there.

I know that u stated it earlier but are you any closer to posting the madden updates yet? Thanks pasta
