I am writing as a fan of the Atlanta Falcons that noticed on the season preview that once again the stadium has not been updated. Before the 09 season the Ga dome was renovated to change the ugly teal colored seats to team color seating and the outside of the stadium was painted red and black. This is very important to the many Atlanta Falcons fans that take pride in the team. I also noticed in the last game that my favorite Jerseys which is the all black alternates have red letters which is not accurate the lettering is actually white. I really hope that this can be fixed before the game is released. This would be the second year in a row that this has happened. Please fix these errors. Thanyou

I was also wondering if this season were going to be able to change the jerseys for online play. Its an important feature for some teams cause of the jeseys sometimes looking too close to eachother ex. falcs,cardinals. I hope this is on the madden10 version.

This is what the Ga dome looks like

The Ga dome does not have blue seats it makes it not even look like the real thing. In the season preview the Ga dome is definately wrong. Please fix this problem

I've been a Madden fan for years and have noticed now for the 3rd or 4th season in a row that Landshark/Dolphin stadium is never updated correctly. We have 2 jumbo plasma screens in the stadium. It's always portrayed in the last couple of years with only 1 correctly detailed plasma tv screen and then the oldschool scoreboard that was taken down 4 years ago as the other. Before Jerry Jones just built the new cowboy stadium they were the biggest plasma's in a stadium in the world. It's what the stadium is known for yet never put into the game correctly.

Another thing I'm already foreseeing is that Landshark stadium will only have that name up until the week before the Superbowl. Then it will revert back to Dolphin Stadium for the Superbowl.

So in the game unless coded and fixed the stadium will have the wrong name after the 1st season in any franchise and in the Superbowl. And with all this hype on last years Superbowl in every advertisement I feel it should be correct.

Thank You...

EA WILL NEVER GET IT ALL RIGHT BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL BE MAKING THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR.

I recently purchased the Madden 08 game. I am astounded that a company would release a game that, in franchise mode, has more bugs that a cat lady's attic. I realize that you forbid bashing of the developer in your forum, and I am sure that you will consider this as such. I paid a few bucks for this used game, after playing Madden 05 enjoyably for many years. I will never, ever buy another one of your products again. Furthermore, I have told EVERYONE I know about my experience with your product, and the issues that have been experienced not only by me, but by many other unfortunate persons who believed they were purchasing a functional game. This game is NON Functional in franchise mode.
After many frustrating months of restarting the franchise over and over again, and downloading the updates, I have decided to use the disc as a target this weekend.

I would warn anyone reading this to think twice before buying ANY EA product again.

I recently downloaded the Madden 2010 demo, and I am very impressed with the improvements that I see. It is definitely the largest improvement I have seen in just one year. Kudos.

However, there is one flaw that I have seen in Madden for as long as I can remember that still plagues 2010, and that is the CPU pre-play AI. The problem I am referring to is the fact that the defense always seems to pick the best play to counter my offensive play choice. For example, I was playing as the Giants in the PS3 demo against the Cowboys. I was down by 7 going into the 1 minute 4th quarter. I was already passing pretty heavily trying to get down field. I decided to call a QB draw from the the 5WR Shotgun set with Eli Manning as my QB on 1st and 10 at mid-field. Now, I do understand that such a call will not yield much success, but I wanted to see how it would do anyway. Once I called the play and broke the huddle, I expected to see at least 1 DB for every WR on the field such as a Dime or Quarters set. However, I saw the Cowboy's base 3-4 package with at least 6 defenders in the box, maybe even all 7. The defense was not caught off guard at all.

This is just one of the problems where the defense knows what to expect, even the VERY unexpected. When playing on any difficulty above Rookie, plays such as a HB sweep from the Singleback-spread formation, a PA pass from a strong rushing offense, a HB draw, etc. all seem futile because the defense knows what is coming.

I am just hoping that you can provide an online update to fix the problem of 1) illogical defensive personnel on the field or 2) the constant perfect defensive play calling. I would think that you might be able to force the CPU defense to pick the correct defensive formations (i.e. nickel, dime, etc) based on how many offensive receivers are on the field. I understand that some teams will leave an outside linebacker on the field against certain slot receivers, but that problem could be fixed by applying certain variables to the CPU AI based on the slot receiver's ability versus the linebacker's ability to cover him. It is just so illogical to see a 3-4 defense take the field against a QB draw with 5 WR on the field because the defense knows that I am calling a QB draw. The second problem of the perfect defense play within the different sets is more complex and I understand that. I just hope that you can force a CPU defense to pick the logical formations based on the offensive personnel just like real coaches do in the NFL. Thank you.

I wish Ian Cummings or someone could here me out on this, cause i don't know if you know this yet. The biggest problem i've ever had with madden is the games lack of physics for the players. The most often thing I have come to find is that players tend to go straight through other playerswhen they are in contact. This dosent happen rarley, im talkin every down type of thing. And honestly, it gets old. I don't know if its just that the game systems still have this problem with it or what, but what I don't understand is why no one has ever attempted to fix this. I have watched videos and read blogs about it everywhere, it makes me feel like im the only person to notice it. If you really want the Madden games to be 100% real (or any game in that matter) you have got to fix this problem, then you do you could add animations for the players to go around each other, or better movement animations, instead of going strait through eachother. Ian, and EA Sports you gotta feel me on this. I promise you, if you fixed this, everyone would be happy.

One more thing I have played the Demo, and I loved it, it is football to the fullest and I know ill be bying it and playin it for hours on end. Just please fix this, problem with the physics

As far as I can tell there is no way to make wholesale before-the-game formation substitutions.

I know in the playcalling screen I can swap out certain packages, like "Spell RB" etc, but that's not what I'm talking about.

For example, I play as Dallas. In numerous defensive schemes Demarcus Ware is automatically placed (as a LB) in coverage, yet they'll still have a four man line. I want to sub, in that package, Ware into the down lineman role, and then I'll put Jason Williams or Bobby Carpenter or something into that nickle backer role.

In the same situation (Ware moving to end), I'd like my end (Marcus Spears) to move inside and play tackle, instead of having the computer select by default my backup tackle .... which is Junior Siavii, who sucks.

Is there a way to change this that I'm not seeing?

As an ADULT I will put forth an ADULT question (as opposed to whining and so forth).

OK - No PC which really bugs MANY people but I'm sure you have valid bottom line reasons and it's not just to * everybody off! LOL

SO - 2009 I get for my PS3 - HOWEVER - no COACH mode. THAT was disappointing. The game is useless to me without coach mode as I'm not a guy that likes to "play" the games - I call the plays and let the computer do the rest.

Will 2010 have COACH Mode? Front Office or Head Coach or what ever it was called totally 100% sucked!
