CPU can't finish drives, CPU can't run for shit, CPU quarterbacks will throw at least 2 picks per game, no matter what quarterback you play against, more if you actually user pick. You never really have to worry about being in a game, even if you're using the likes of Cincinnati, and you go up against the top teams. The game looks better, plays somewhat better, but it's the same old shit during offline franchise mode.
I played about 11 games, and gave it back to my buddy. I won 10 out of 11, the 11th, which was my loss, was just my fuck around, I'm giving this back today, game.
I wash my hands of Madden and this forum for another year, and move onto NBA 2k10, which I'm hyped about.
