      Sine EA stopped making Madden for the pc im stuck with the 08 version. It really sucks having to update the roster yourself lol.

        when I play as the browns I put wallace at qb and maybe only throw 10-15 passes a game to either cribbs, watson, or hillis in the flat. Harrison and hardesty compliment each other nice and I basically run them all day then throw in a play action every once in a while. As far as defense goes, what I found works best is to move rogers to re, rubin at dt, and roth at le, then my rolb is fujita, lolb is gocong, and mlb are jackson and bowens. Try starting haden and wright at cb, brown at fs, and either ward or elam at ss, that is the lineup that works best for me...ps roth is a beast defensive end in the game.

            Stuckey makes crazy sideline catches for me, robiskie has hands, massaqoui is solid.

            I use McCoy, he has good short and medium throw accuracy.

            Harrison is real quick and has good skill type moves

            D Line and Rubin are ranked too low

            Matt Roth should be higher then 74 IMO.

            The corners seem to work for me, make sure to use press coverage when running man.

            I use mike adams at fs (87 speed) and ward has nice hit power.

            The ratings will update as soon as these guys prove themselves(hopefully)

              yea, good advice that's exactly what I did in terms of the secondary. I got abe's ass out of there for sure. T.J. Ward is actually not near as bad as I thought. I'll have to try shifting roth to DE, see how it works.

              @clevelandplayoffs, yea I always press coverage when I play man, but I think the problem is (for me anyway) is that i'd say with one exception every person i've played is either the pats, saints, Green Bay or the Jets. They way overrated Braylon in the game and when it's one on one in man coverage they seemingly always give the good WR the catch, even with me playing user D. It's really frustrating because there's literally nothing I can do to stop it on the blitz, and the level I play against the better teams playing zone coverage just gets you picked apart. You must be lucky in the games you played in terms of WR, I'll literally throw to wide open guy and the second he gets hit it makes him drop it for incomplete. I'll ball protect the second I user catch it, it doesn't matter.

              Also, I noticed Ben Watson is extremely solid in this game. I would honestly say for me he's probably the most consistent catcher on the team. I haven't looked that much into the ratings, just based on my play. I would definitely say Robiske is second best, he does seem to catch most things coming his way.

                My biggest complaint is that the jersey numbers are not current. They better update that quick because it's hella annoying to change everyone's jersey number.

                I've been using Hardesty more than Harrison and he seems to play beyond his ratings. And Cribbs has been my best WR although I intend on upgrading that position in the offseason and move him out of there. And Trusnik is really, really good at getting to the QB.

                  oh really? I might have to send trusnik on some weak blitzes. So far, it seems like the best LB overall is Roth, and I've actually have had a lot of success playing in coverage with Gocong. It's early though, it usually adjusts well by the time week 2-3 rolls around.

                    What Madden proves is that if the Browns would just let ME run things, we would go 16-0 and win the Super Bowl every season! 😆

                      No but they do have a few updates throughout the season. It's definitely a solid game. In my case I'm a Madden diehard so I'm usually there at the midnight release and in some cases call off the next day. I've been doing this since college though so it's more of a ritual with friends than anything else. The Browns were rated respectfully if you ask me especially when you consider the record last year. As of now the ratings are based almost solely on last years performance and as the season progresses ratings change here and there but it's only a few times a year. Either way year after year someone has a issue with the ratings. Nature of the beast.

                        Here's my question...with all the new players being added are they basing the stats off of last years individual performances or are they just giving the whole team a rating based upon what the Browns did last year? And I'm still on the fence about the quality of this years Madden. So far i'm leaning on Madden 10 being a more solid playable game with less cheese moments. Also think Backbreaker is more enjoyable in terms of realism overall with the physics of football. The running animations in Madden this year are really bothering me as they feel like old technology rehashed...JMHO

                        Who let the DAWGS out??

                          Backbreaker is terrible. Madden 11 is better than Madden 10 and the ratings are a combination of last year performance and expectations for this year. Madden 10 is still a solid game but Madden 11 once the strat pad is patched out is a more well rounded game with better physics and body control. They did a pretty good job this year and I think the animations are top tier. Easily the best of any Madden game so I'm not sure what animations you're seeing.

                            Yeah I love this years edition but a thing I've found is it seems impossible to play consistent D.

                            I score all day, and get scored on all day.

                            The other day I played the number 1 ranked guy at the time (44-4) and the score was like 45-43 me winning.

                            I ran for like 400 yards with AP because if I did throw, he would nano blitz.

                            Which brings up another point, dominating backs just playing CAN NOT BE STOPPED, idk if anyone has played with or against Chris Johnson, but the man is a glitch!

                            but one thing I LOVE is the lifelike movements of the individual players.

                            Like when I got a pick with Eric wright, he ran the same exact way and when I completed a deep pass to MoMass, he stood up and celebrated the same way.. It's awesome, IMO.

                              yea, that's a result of the the brand new locomotion system they put in for this year's game. they got rid of the of the "boost" and just made players naturally react. It is harder to get used to but makes the game so much more realistic and fun to play IMO.

                                    What Madden proves is that if the Browns would just let ME run things, we would go 16-0 and win the Super Bowl every season! 😆

                                    No, what Madden proves is that the Clowns are overrated if anything! Let me ask you something. When Delhomo proves what we all know and sucks this year, is the Puppy Pound going to throw snowballs at him? Might be kind of hard to do since Shit Stadium will be empty since you're all unemployed up there! ROFL!

                                          Oh look, another Clowns fan who likes to have faith that their team could actually do something just because they barely beat Pittsburgh last year. I'm trying to think of the last time I didn't assume a Clowns/Bengals game wasn't going to be a W. Too long! LOL!

                                          Holmgren is just setting you up to fail again, bringing that noodle-armed happy-feet old man Delhomo to fill in until Colt McCoy can come in and disappoint like all Clowns draft picks.
