Madden 09: Is it just me?
So this doesn't really have anything to do with fantasy football, but I figured that a high percentage of our readers are probably also avid Madden football players. So, my question to you is this...is it just me or is it super hard to run the ball in this new edition of Madden?! I've been playing the series for years and I've always liked to pick a team with a decent running back, because while I generally lead the league in interceptions thrown, I also usually have one of the top ranked running backs in the league at the end of the season. After getting the game this past weekend for my birthday, I started a season with the San Diego Chargers (even though I'm really a Patriots fan, I don't like to play with them because I think it's lame to play with a team that's rated 99 or whatever they are) and tonight I finished my second game, losing to the Broncos 13-10, with my only touchdown coming on a fumble recovery. I finished the game with -5 rushing yards from LaDainian Tomlinson (!!!), which seems a bit ridiculous to me. I know the game is supposed to adjust to your skill level, but it better speed up the learning process or I'm going to be hard-pressed to win more than a game or two in the entire season. I'd be grateful to anyone who could offer me tips!
