I've been waiting for this forever,
the "route running" stat was always so stupid in my opinion because if the CB had enough speed it wasn't a big deal, the only game I've ever seen that actually took route running into account was the 2K series, where you would actually see CB's jump or get shook by WR's who ran their routes to perfection.
while Indianapolis has a solid offense, almost as solid as it can get passing wise, because of their lack of speed in Madden 09, they really aren't shit. it doesn't matter what you throw, Harrison can run a route but the CB is usually fast enough to jump it, same thing applies for Wayne, and we all know this isn't something you see in real life, every Sunday you see Manning pick apart a D by hitting short passes every other play.
I'm skeptical, last years Madden was honestly the first I didn't like, I enjoyed 06, 07, 08, and all of those before it, but 09 was a total POS to me.
IDK, the day the Indianapolis offense actually runs like the Indianapolis offense in Madden, where speed isn't the issue and Harrison, Wayne, and Clark kill db's like they do every sunday with superb route running, I'll believe it. but I'll have to see it first.
