Someone saying their defense was "on lock" is ridiculous. Anyone can play zone all game long. That's the glory of Madden this year. Defense takes absolutely no talent.
I'm sorry Zan but Houstonboy > you.
I'm sorry, who are you? He's better than I am?
Then please explain why the first time I played HoustonBoy, I was up 35-14 entering the fourth quarter, and let the CPU play man under in the 4th while I watched the NBA All-Star game (he scored another meaningless touchdown or two on the computer)? Also, I can't be positive; HoustonBoy should correct me if I'm wrong; but I believe he had a team advantage in both games. I know he did in game 2 with his Steelers vs. my Raiders.
Also, please explain why when Jamarcus Russell/CPU (bad throws) gave him two charity INTs and a 10 point lead, yet he couldn't hold me after the free points? I went off on him for 24 unanswered and held his offense to 170 yards (60 of it on a screen with a minute left to get him a little closer).
If he's better than I am, please play me and confirm your opinion. Also, I'm not into charity (in case you can't tell). Man coverage is exactly that: charity. I don't give gifts. If you have a problem with someone who runs 95 percent zone coverage, then Madden 09 isn't for you.
I ran man under in 08, however....but it's all good....
Game 1: ZAN 35 - HoustonBoy 28
Game 2: ZAN 24 - HoustonBoy 17
