Well guess what. The developers everyone seems to worship did it again.
Online and offline, if the offense calls several audibles, the defensive
adjustments cause the D-Line to FATIGUE, rendering them useless for the
play. Theyve got some really spectacular playtesters at EA huh ...

Madden is complaning about CD/DVD emulation software and won't run
until I 'disable' it.
I had an Elaborate Bytes virtual drive but that's been removed.  I
even went so far as to uninstall the software.  And rebooted multiple

I just tried to play an IP-to-IP game, which worked decently last year, and
this year, it is the worst netcode i have EVER seen. I am not kidding. In
1996 I could play 16 people online with a 14.4 modem, and in NHL 2005, with
a DSL to DSL game the lag was the worst I had ever ...

anyone know where I can get realistic sliders for NHL2004 for PC?  thanks

Well I just got done with my first ranked Madden game, and I just bought
this Rumblepad 2 (NOT 1). This looks to be the best so far. Buttons are

Enjoy your new NHL games everyone! It may be the only NHL action you will
get to see this year!

When you play online, or even just against a friend at home, do you move the
players around individually, especially the DL to gain better penetration?
Personally, I only use the features that allow me to adjust the formations,
but I won't take control of a DE or OLB and move them ...

What's your opinion?  I tried TWO Logitech Dual Actions but they both had
faulty left analog sticks that randomly lose calibration.   I have a PS2 USB
adapter but I want something that will be easily compatible with EA sports
games (why is it that so many of the games require ...

Hiya,
   EBGames has madden 2k5 coming out about month after the XBox and PS2
version.  And on www.easports.com the PC link isn't even active yet.  I know
its early but does anyone here know why the PC version will be late? thanks
