Madden's got the moves (blitz, sack, touch down) that you need to take your team all the way. Is your arm strong enough? Use the teams already selected or create your own. I haven't played sports games in about ten to fifteen years but the new create your own player was a nice touch. Fill the position you want to control with this new player. Make him the focal point of the team. As your new leader can he make it happen for you or did you make a mistake. Changing the weather conditions is definitely cool because this usually changes the teams ability to play their game. Learn the different audible calls to create an off sides or to change plays. Route the men on your team for a different strategy in order to get your best results. Learn your defensive and offensive plays to find your own teams weaknesses and strengths. Most of all have fun. Even if you're like me and not a seasoned veteran you can still take on the big teams. And I don't know all the positions on the field.
