The panthers are perfect in Madden

[PanthersFanNY]

So far I love it. I've played it for a few hours and it is a huge improvement over last year's version.

Blocking and tackling mechanics are much better. There is an actual pocket for the QB. Gameplay in general is just more realistic. The franchise mode seems much better along with a better Free Agency period and draft period.

My only complaints so far are the amount of cut-scenes involving referees that you can't skip, and that sacks are ridiculously hard to get because QBs throw as they are getting hit now to avoid the sack (which does lead to an increase in INTS, but a severe decrease in the amount of sacks).

Overall I definitely suggest picking it up if you are thinking about it.

Really?

That's good to hear because I was about to take it back.

The reason why I was so mad was because I played a game against the Cowgirls on LIVE, and it did what it always does for the Cowgirls.

Made them way better than they really are.

They blocked 3 of my punts, held 8 men in the box yet were still able to effectively cover 3 of my recievers man on man-including SS89.

The Girls haven't won a playoff game in over a decade and Madden still treats them like they did in the 90's.

I just played against the Cowboys and after three quarters it was 7-6 them so I hear you about their defense. I finished the game winning 20-10 so it got better, but yes, the cowboys defense is great this year.

no offense, but maybe its you. there is no excuse for 3 blocked punts...

you played onlie right, so now that the game is now all rankings are as well so you might have played against someone who is WAY better.

That being said all big teams are always rated good...

Our O-line is REALLY underrated in this game.

Every time I run the ball it's either a touchdownnor a 3 yard loss.

There's no push!

Since everyone is running the ball, what are good Panther defenses that will stop the run? My buddy and I play Panthers vs. Panthers so in addition to running the ball, I need to stop his run game.

Yea Kalil, Vincent, and Wharton got jewed on the ratings.

Yea Kalil, Vincent, and Wharton got jewed on the ratings.

I know it, especially Vincent, that guy was one of the most solid, consistent guys on the OL last year and they rates him like some practice squad washout scrub.

[PanthersFanNY]

Yeah I edited the ratings for Wharton, Kalil, and Vincent. I also upped Na'il Diggs. I think I have Wharton as an 87 overall, Kalil at 88, Vincent at 79, and Diggs at 79. Can you believe they had Landon Johnson with a 69 overall better than Diggs (68)?

Also, I'm now tearing it up with Everette, so cancel my "no sacks" complaint from earlier.

I would edit the ratings but I play online so its pretty much a moot point. Might as well get used to playing with them.

eh a little bit. Seems like the same generic plays to me.

ok...i read that the draft is going to be more realistic..is it..

i remember in the older years you could trade to the #1 spot easy or that a team with the #1 pick would always take the #1 rated player even if they dont need someone from that postion.
