1. No CPU run game, whatsoever. I played against Minnesota as Detroit (Of course,) and I held AP to around 40+ yards, on various sliders at OS. A few slider sets even had run def set to 0 across the board. Complete game killer for offline franchise. I tested against all the strong running teams.
2. CPU blitzes far too often, allowing me to hit just about any pass over the middle. Since when does every team play def like Jim Johnson? It's so bad, that I actually want the CPU to sack me, or I'm going to get a big play every time. Again, my complaint is that blitzing allows ME, the USER, to abuse passing plays far too often. Passing over the middle seems to be far too easy, period.
3. Adaptive AI: one of the biggest fails in sports gaming history. Seriously, no way in hell does the feature actually exist. The CPU AI doesn't adapt to jack or shit.
4. Sliders: When will those of us who actually do play offline, get more effective sliders? If the game does manage to ship with working sliders, which can be argued again this year, they're about as effective as Drew Brees in playoff games. I'm not even sure if they're working, honestly. How can I play with my def rush set at 0, and still have the CPU get no results?
5. The halftime highlight show is weak as hell. It's an embarrassment.
6. Interceptions: Why is every interception a pick 6?
7. Community Day Guys: Nice job testing this shit. Did you guys happen to test the game before or after you partied all night? You can stick my ass in a room for 1 hour and I would have picked apart every single issue I just listed. Get a fucking job.
This game has so many other flaws, it's ridiculous. To say this game is worthy of an 8 or higher, is laughable. Ian and crew better have one hell of a patch in store or this game is just a better version of Madden 09, and that's not a compliment. I judged the game way too early when I borrowed it from my friend, so I decided to rent it, and it's only getting worse. But most of these issues I noticed on that day. Online? I haven't bothered, so maybe that's where the game flourishes... But offline franchise mode, is yet another failure due to weak CPU AI and tons of other flaws.
Do you think it's possible to ignore the graphical improvement requests and give us better AI? Or will we get better facial models, because Peyton Manning doesn't really look like Peyton Manning?
I'd rate the game a 6.5. Give us a cleaning version of Madden 10, because the bugs in this game are ridiculous, with major AI improvements, more effective sliders, and Madden 11 might be worth a purchase. Otherwise, It's another rent and forget.
