turnovers are definitely a problem, I'm trying out different slider selections right now.

the play selection screen is terrible, yes.

Played one game of preseason on pro and won 27-10. Getting used to the Defense, haven't learned how to do play shifting yet (telling DB's to drop back/bump/etc), kicking now feels real easy, I did a Dragon Uppercut during my swing and didn't shank it. Devon Hester got 41 yards a KR,5 a PR, and about 80 yards catching with 1 TD.

Planning on going online after I get the hang of the game a little better. Still waiting for those two Japanese business men to come over and challenge me.

Ok just got my first REAL loss. The guy was 5-0, and I ended up going up 17 - 10 at the first half. Then he pulls out the [censored] [censored] tricks.

I was the Seacocks and they don't have shotgun form. Not a big deal. BUT he started lining all his guys up to the line and crowded the middle. I was like uhh ok no problem I'll just throw quick outs. NOPE! Everytime I dumped the ball off quick his corner picked it off (2x), and if I waited for my receivers to shake the corners they were already sacked. If I ran to the outside he somehow had guys in my backfield. Running up the middle obviously didn't work, and play action was a disaster, it was like his guys were in my face from the second I snapped the ball, just walking through my offensive line which is solid. He was the [censored] giants for [censored] sake.

Thumbs down to bug abusers, or just unfairness in the way the game is made.

Also I just whooped some guy 35 - 7 and he conceded defeat, I accepted to take the win and end the game, and the game just sits there for like 5 minutes. I had to go back to dashboard, so that's all the live I'll be playing for a little while. Pretty disapointed. Also for anyone who hasn't played it, get ready for some laggy ass online play. I wouldn't have paid 60 bucks for the game if I knew playing online was going to be eevn queerer than 07.

Also, does anyone know a way to put mp3 files on your xbox hard drive? Or is the only way you can get music on your 360 from ripping actualy music cds?

Cheesers are the reason why I quit Madden in the first place, it infuriates me.

You can stream directly from any PCs on your network. Or just plug an iPod or other MP3 player into the USB slots on the front and play off that. Surely there's a way to copy them onto your 360, but I've always just streamed them off my PC to save space on my 360's HDD.
