I was Playing Madden 10 today

[Wittman21]

then I got to New England, and I wanted to let Byrd play FS, but as I was goign through the roster, I saw that the Bills LT was Levi Jones, with Walker backing him up. I was curious if this happened to anyone else...I thought I missed the signing (b/c D Bell injured) but it just must have been a glitch....Would not complain if healthy

[DraftBoy]

You simmed the preseason, he was likely picked up by the cpu during your sim.

[Buffalogic]

Trent is awful in Madden 10. Run game is non existent. O line is horrible.

[DynaPaul]

I played the first game of the season and lost by 2 touchdowns to New England. I was like "Damn, even in this freaking videogame the Patriots won't let me be in peace."

I can win online with the Bills pretty regular. Maybin is a freakin' sack master in that game though. I average about 2 a game with him. Too bad it isnt real life... oh well.

[VeggieMan14]

im 16-6 online with the bills (should be 19-3 i lagged out of 3 games i was winning) if you know how to use them they are really good... Shawn Nelson is a beast on that game i average like 150 yards a game with him and like 3 sacks with maybin haha

What playbook are you using?

[Marvelous]

Yeah the new DE moves stick (RS) is awesome & makes pwning the RT pretty easy.
-1- The LE is Maybin & that's exciting.
-2- The RT's are never as highly rated as the LT.
-3- Let Schobel be Schobel. Me playing him only hurts the team :lol:

---I noticed they dissed us this year with Speed..
-Last year T.O's speed was mid-high 90's & now it's a 89! :wtf:
--And here's the two killers! Our starting CB's are both raped of their speed....Haven't they watched McKelvin & McGee leave sooo many in the dust on KR's & PR's??? They put BOTH of they're speeds in the 80's!!! That is :bs: Just total BS!
-I thought Fitzpatrick played better last year then the 68 rating they gacve him. Esp since Trent Edwards keeps getting hurt in my franchise...

----GUYS WHO STRUGGLE RUNNING THE BALL--LISTEN UP...
--READY TO GET 100 YARDS EVERY GAME WITHOUT CHEATING?
-Ready to Get Fred Jackson to get his too??
-----PUT THE SPEED BURST DOWN----!
--I realize dthis in week 2. afTER ONLY GETTING LIKE 40 YARDS ON 20 ATTEMPTS AGAINST NE!!!!!
--ENTER WEEK-2 New England fugwads! I got over 100 yards and even won the game(all-madden)
---When the speed burst is pressed-The RB has only 25%/minimal control to juke/spin or turn. Their AGILITY goes out the window and becomes void.<fact!
--Without the speed button mashed & held in----Lynch can hit the hole perfectly or juke to the hole etc..With the speed held in-Lynch doesn't hit the hole with precision and ends up being to close to a defender & gets tackled..
----SO I ENCOURAGE EVERY ONE OF YOU TO TRY AND RUN WITH LYNCH & NOT USING THE SPEED BURST UNTIL HE CLEARS THE L.O.S!!!
--And i want feedback with results guys...Madden is 10x the fun now that i have a running game. It also improves win % by like 80%.. Teams go 3 & out and you hold them in check and eat up the clock... It's the way Madden is meant to be played... ATleats in year-1 of franchise. Year 2 maybe i/we can draft a good QB.. Maybe one with a 80 or higher speed...I bought the QB scouting thing & it revealed 2 players with a 85 speed. & one of them is the highest rated rookie QB from Gainsville. woot! But i fear he will be the #1 overall pick & f-that! Waaay to much cap money.. Esp since players are overpaid on our squad. ESP when you see a 79 rated Kelsay making 6 mill a year..

---I made a looooong review of Madden in another board. I think Twilight Zone? i dunno...

[Buffalogic]

I just finished the regular season on my franchise where i had a fantasy draft. All I did was make a super badass O-line and put Chris Johnson behind it.

Johnson's final stats were

2,300 rushing yards
37 rushing tds

2,500 receiving yards
25 receiving tds

Oh and my dline was
Peppers - J. Williams (SD) - Stroud - J. Taylor

Bills were 16-0 obviously. All Madden difficulty. The game is a cheeseball.

[VeggieMan14]

What playbook are you using?i use the bills O and multiple Defense

[Mad Bomber]

Trent is awful in Madden 10. Run game is non existent. O line is horrible.

Sounds like the real Bills.

[The King]

I never use the Bills in Madden. are our white throwbacks in the game?

[BlackMetalNinja]

I was curious if this happened to anyone else...I thought I missed the signing (b/c D Bell injured) but it just must have been a glitch....Would not complain if healthyYup, I simmed the preseason and they signed Jones as well. I left it as was though, because we all know just about anything was an upgrade at LT...

[Pinkerton Security]

no, i wish they were though!

try using the "my skill" setting...ratchets the difficulty up much higher than madden, if you're that good. also, try using the bills players, makes it a bit tougher LOL

[DynaPaul]

What's the secret to getting sacks? For the life of me I rarely get them. Is the secret in using the RS and spped button together?

[Pinkerton Security]

i get a finesse rusher like maybin at the LE spot and just use the RS all the time...

[VeggieMan14]

i get a finesse rusher like maybin at the LE spot and just use the RS all the time... yea just sprint and tap the RS right and he gets by him like every time

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

I also found Maybin to be a ****in beast in the game. I got 5 sacks in 1 game with him as a rookie.

My first game New England beat me 31-0 because the OL was just awful. Now I pretty much throw to Shawn Nelson or the running back about 85% of the time and have a lot of success.

I can't run the ball for ****, but I am going to try the guys suggestion with the speed burst.

I think they underestimated Trent's deep ball at least a little bit. He can certainly throw it better than what they have it rated as.

Thats weird... in my version of madden Lynch is 82 overall, Schobel 90, Fred Jackson is 82 or 83.

Thats on PS2

How do you get that many sacks with Maybin? LDE or RDE?

What defense do you use?

[Boomstick]

I put Maybin at LE. Then I'm just speed rushing with him using the right stick to put moves on the RT. I find it's easier to get to the QB if you move the DE closer to the Tackle.
Oh, and I use simple cover 2 in the Bills playbook.

what moves can you do using the right stick? Swim or? using a playstation controller?

[slakjaw157]

anyone doing an online franchise?

[VeggieMan14]

anyone doing an online franchise?yea its great i highly reccomend it haha

Yes, that happen with me as well. I did not sim the preseason, but I guess I was not paying attention. Before I knew it L. Jones was my LT

[Hemlepp53]

Playing it on PS3 and I went on line and downloaded the roster up date.

[DynaPaul]

yea just sprint and tap the RS right and he gets by him like every time

Which direction?

[The Spaz]

I bought Madden 10 from SI. Has anyone received Madden 10 from SI yet?

[Boomstick]

what moves can you do using the right stick? Swim or? using a playstation controller?

I'm not sure what power moves you can do, I only rush with Maybin, but his speed moves are a swim and a spin... The way the pass rush moves are this year is way better than it ever has been IMO.
