If there's going to be a podcast, I can only approve if I can be the color guy, or a sideline reporter.

If you don't get Quan in to the Probowl then we'll have to ban you.

I just played Texans vs Cardinals on Madden '06 (ya I know, but I dont play many video games), and the Cards won 48-10.. And that was the first time Ive played that game in awhile..

Warner had just over 300 yards passing and 3 td's
JJ Arrington had 30 yards rushing with 3 td's but threw for 1 td
Boldin had 125 yards receiving and 2 td's
Fitz had 70 yards receiving and 2 td's

As this clearly states, the Cards are gonna kick the Texans ass this weekend.. Madden doesnt lie.. ;)

I've got some all madden sliders set for a semi-realistic game. However, I can't fix the INTs...the computer gets all kinds of INTs on me and I can't adjust it.

I've noticed some complaints about this online.

I've been throwing pick after pick after pick. I'll be marching on down the field and then throw an interception. I was so pissed during one game that I set the CPU interception slider all the way down to 0 and they promptly snagged another one on the next drive. There are also a LOT of fumbles for both teams. Overall, the turnovers are way too high in this year's game.

I did the same thing...turned INTs down to 0 and it helps, but then two more INTs in the game.

I've never had such an issue with INTs. The defense is better now, but I've seen a LB get beat by Q on a slant, I lead Q with a bullet and the LB jumps in front of the lane and outstretches for an INT. BS.

Gonna have to find a way to solve this, or else these recaps are going to include a lot of me cussing my ass off.

Do they still have fat and slow middle linebackers who jump 20 feet in the air to interception passes?

no, now they just go-go-gadget arms without even turning their head to give even the APPEARANCE that they knew the ball was released.

I hate throwing slants in Madden. They are effective as hell in real life, and are terrible against the zone in Madden. I throw in/out routes, or curl routes instead.

That has always driven me nuts. A 20 yard pass isn't love enough for a LB to intercept when he's 5-10 yards past the line of scrimmage.

I've always lived off of the slant in Madden but with this one I'm starting to use as many out patterns as possible.

I liked the slant too, but LB and even CBs in zone coverage always seem to jump on routes. I prefer the curl routes now.

One thing I have found is that if you turn off the weapons fumbles and INTs drop significantly. Give that a try and see if that doesnt help.
