The Big Lead is going a bit of the way to force the Vince Young cover jinx issue this morning, but then again who am I to question the force force of the Madden cover.

I'm a full believer, so much so, that I totally blew ranking my fantasy QB's last week. You all thought I was crazy for having Vince Young 3rd simply because he's not good enough. That's not true. I was crazy for having him that high because Madden will have final say on this matter.

Enter the Vince Young vs Madden Curse Poll

Now, as for the game itself, I welcome all your own reviews below if you actually decide to put down the remote. Happy Madden Day!

(Tarik Glenn not retired, Trent Green still a Chief, and a few others) But I also adjust some of the player overalls if I feel someone was under-rated/over-rated.

0	On the PS3 the rosters are kind of updated. Daunte is still a Phin but so far thats it. But it is awesome esp. on the ps3. It is nuts. Harder to throw the deep pass though :o

0	Also, I had to remove Michael Vick and Tank Johnson from their respective teams. Didn't have to worry about PacMan, he's not even ON the game!

(Edited by Terry)

nah i doubt their out of them unless you live in a really big area. the stores want as many copies as possible so they dont run out the first week.

as i said, i have the game for ps3, and this is the first time ive played madden on next gen (played 07 on a 360 last year for about an hour but thats it). the 30 fps is no problem right now offline on madden.

i feel that the game is arcadey at times though, which i dont really like. hard to throw the deep pass, but i think that if you work with the speed receiver you can get it completed more often. i havent been online though because ive had people tell me on the 360 that online play is VERY laggy..on the 360 online, your lucky to get to 25 fps in most of your games. but that will be fixed in a week or two like always when they shut down last years servers and make space for them.

if anyone want to play an online ps3 game at any time just IM me on AIM (toownsthedalstar) or add me to ps3, phillyfan2426. ive noticed theres only a 360 online thread in the gamers paradise league so ill make a thread for ps3 online http://www.faniq.com/article/Post-you-PS3-Online-name-107721-7697
