Are you using QB vision? I use da bears 99% of the time I play which means my QB is Rex Grossman. I don't throw INT's very often but when I do it's usually when I fuck up and throw a pass when I'm about to get hit or some shit.

I have the PS3 version and it took me a couple days to figure out you have to hold down L2 + whatever receiver button in order to move your QB's head in the correct direction. The User's Manual failed to mention this highly important detail since it's dramatically different from the PS/2 version of 07.

I don't have a problem throwing INT's, but some games I'll have way too many INT's for my defense. I played the colts one time and Payton Manning threw 8 INT's. I read online that the INT problem can be corrected if you change the AI for interceptions lower than default. Haven't tried it yet though..
NOPE I AM NOT USING THE QB VISION THIS GAME JUST THROWS INSANE AMOUNTS OF INT'S AND FUMBLES

I GUESS EA IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PATCH FOR DOWNLOAD SOON TO FIX IT BUT THIER DUMBASSES SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE THEY PUT IT OUT

@Masked Lemon....

A few tips from my brother. He has Madden on the 360. He said pick your play and then hold down the "A" button when you pick your play and keep scrolling... your opponent won't know what you picked.

And for the fumbles... when I played him my RB's kept fumbling. He told me to hold press a button (I forgot what button to press) and your dudes will stop fumbling so much. Maybe the X button on the X-box360... I could be wrong though.

i can see people complaining about the fumbles cause for the most part those are out of your control but the interceptions are a whole different thing. you have direct control over where you throw your passes. its not like the defenders are just popping out of nowhere

and just for reference i am on week 13 of my franchise with the 49ers....

frank gore-4 fumbles (not bad for his horrible 78 carry rating)
alex smith-3 ints

think some people just need to come to grips with the fact that they arent good and/or dont know football enough to not throw picks

Madden 08 roster update makes Vick disappear

Posted Sep 9th 2007 11:00AM by Jedwin Celestino
Filed under: Game Patches, News
Just in time for the start of the first Sunday of NFL action, EA SPORTS has released a roster update for Madden 08 on next gen consoles, which includes the PS3. The update includes the latest rosters as well as ratings adjustments for some players.

The guys over at X360 Fanboy also note that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been removed from the game. We'll spare you from the over-used dog fighting jokes, but instead we will give you a nice gameplay tip. Vick's departure makes cover boy Vince Young the fastest QB in the league, making him your best choice for running the "bootleg every down and hope to catch the defense sleeping" offense.

i got a random question. in franchise mode, how do u raise/lower the coaches salaries (if you even can). i havent been able to figure this out. i can get to the screen where they show me the salaries, but you cant do anything about it. the only reason i ask is because my "advisors" keep saying that theyre grossly underpaid. anyway, if i dont get an answer in here i may start a thread.
