Ok, this is pissing me off. I have Madden 2007. If you have some sort of biased hatred towards sports games, I'd prefer if you didn't make it known in this topic. I like them as much as other games.
Anyways, I like the game. It's got the modes and what-have-you. However, there's one little problem. Ok, gigantic problem. Like, an "I'm gonna hurl my controller and punt my 10-pound cat because this game is so frustrating problem" (sorry, PETA activists...) type of problem.
There are four difficulty levels for the game: rookie, pro, all-pro, and all-madden. The first three: painfully easy. The last one: painfully hard! Like, I cut my wrists because it makes me depressed hard (note: I don't cut my wrists. To take out my cutting anger I clip my toenails, cut paper, or saw off other's legs).
Thing is, it makes you use a blinking pass cone to aim your pass or otherwise your quarterback has the accuracy of a drunken fool. It doesn't seem like that would be the problem, except you now have to multi-task for things: moving your quarterback, moving the pass cone, looking down the field at receivers, looking at the blocking, and pressing buttons.
Most people can multi-task. I can't. I have troubles playing the piano simply because my left hand does what my right hand does (ie. it will play the same rythym as the right hand even if they are completely different rythyms). So this makes the game very frustrating for me.
As well, the other team will break an 80 yard play at least twice a game, will intercept four passes (even if you are the best quarterback in the game with the best team, etc.) - returning at least one for a score, and will generally taunt you with their skills.
I tried turning down the computer AI and turning up my players' AI (but keeping it on all-madden), but it doesn't make a difference.
AARGH
