I don't usually make any trades maybe just for a Oline player but usually I don't.
Also they updated the roster Vicks overall is a 73 and Farves is a 82.
Pretty fair ratings in my mind.

Booker, I usually keep the roster the same for the first year, then wait until my second season to begin doing trades and signings, and such.
But, I've been out all day today, then watched a movie. Haven't had a chance to play Madden yet. But tonight I'm gonna start and finally get my franchise going....

I have a question for those who plan on starting franchises soon.Are you gonna make any trades or do you try to keep the roster as legit to the real NFL rosters. It's the second week in my franchise that I (re)started today, and I've already made a trade. I'm sick of Todd Heap not blocking when I run to the outside, so I traded him (and two draft picks) to Tampa Bay for Kellen Winslow.

Is it just me or is the setting for "My Skill" virtually useless? I was under the impression this was the best way to gauge your talent level on the game and make them close. I'm two games into my Franchise mode and haven't scored less than 50 points a game so far as Dallas.

All I know is, I am terrible at this game. I play on All Pro, and I rarely beat the computer. I always have some kind of ridiculous last second fumble that gives them the game.

I started my franchise as the Bucs today and traded for some defensive players, and I usually get a TE but with Winslow on our team now I don't need one. With other teams I usually play a season to study the player performance and then make any trades/sign anybody after that.

I was up 21 on the computer going into the fourth only to have my team have a complete meltdown. The other team had a receiver break free from a gang tackle of at least four people and score a touchdown. My receivers started dropping balls where they wide open. My favorite part was my receiver fumbling without anyone touching him as I tried to dive into the field and run out the clock and the other team took it back to win the game. One minute I like the game and the next everything sucks about it.

One thing that irritates me, is that no matter what pass coverage play you run, there is always one guy that's wide open.

So I just finally started my 'chise a few hours ago, with the Vikings playing with My Skill, and 10:00 quarters with 25 second accelerated clock. I played the first preseason game, won, then simmed the last 3.
I won my first game pretty easily, second one was a little tougher, but I came out with the victory. In both games, AP was on fire, and the combo of Favre and Harvin was sick.
Then, in week 3 versus the 49'ers, everything went down hill. Favre threw I believe 3 interceptions, and AP fumbled twice. I lost like 41-31 (that score makes it seem a lot closer than it really was. I got killed. I was just able to get lucky and get two more touchdowns to catch up slightly)
Tired now, so I'll try and continue playing tomorrow.

How is everyones online experience going? I'm loving it. I'm currently 7-6 and I'm in I believe three franchises online. I got the Cards', The Packers and then the Texans with a fantasy draft in another.

Not a big fan of Madden online usually. But, once I find (or the WF one gets going, which reminds me who's gonna officially get that started, and when? 'Cause I'd be willing to if no one else wants to) one to join I'll be doing an online franchise.

the my skill is garbage this year as it was in last year's games... i'm a big fan of tinkering with sliders and what not to get a realistic experience and the best for this years Madden i've found are by a guy named versuz2.
his base theory is to put the game on pro difficulty to make your skills (human controlled) at their best, then turn the computer sliders all the way to 100 to make them the best at their position. this basically leaves the game up to the ratings and gets rid of the ridiculous morphing and suction blocking as the computer isn't compensating for poorer players on a higher difficulty to make the game more of a challenge.
the guy has a ton of youtube videos, one in particular shows a big, slower WR beat the press coverage of a smaller, faster corner off the line. however, because of the CBs speed he's able to come back and close the gap... some of the most realistic gameplay i've seen thus far.
youtube it. versuz2... i've read a thread on the sliders as well with people tweaking and what not. some have adjusted game speed and the threshold to make it a little more even, and some have even moved to all-pro with the same settings (cpu maxed to 100), basically to add more of a challenge. i'm still tinkering with it on pro as i'm having a huge adjustment this year as i still played 09 on the ps2 last year....

Apparently no matter what team I use all of my defensive backs drop every ball thrown at them. I have more interceptions with lineman than I do with defensive backs.

Scored 126 last night on all madden as Eagles with Vick as starter. Then got a message at the bottom
"Stop scoring you're going to break the game."
Got a chuckle out of that.
