About the turnovers - I was crying louder than anyone at first, I was calling it 'Madden Turnover 08' and such. Then two things happened:

A) Watched both MNF games on TV, they were both turnover fests that made Madden look all too realistic. McNair alone had 5 or 6 of them, then the ARI-SF debacle - that would be a throw the controller moment for sure.

B) I accepted that this is a NEW madden. I think we all learned a lot of bad habits in the old games, ie pitching it up recklessly to receivers, trying to gun it downfield with mediocre QBs etc.

This game really forces you to throw carefully and conservatively (unless you have a monster QB-WR combo). You also want to avoid throwing near great defenders, basically you have to think more. Right now it is frustrating, but the game is new - we have a year to play this and we will all improve and adjust to the new standard imo!
