hit in white or blue until you get used to it, normally I'd say wait until the last second to swing at it so you can tell whether its a ball or strike. Other than that just go to batting practice and try your luck.

I took the Lions to the Conference game with a 10-6 record. Harrington had a great season and tore up the field in passing. I traded up for some good picks and got some good rookies for the next season, some up and coming wrs and te's. Also I signed Law on defense to make sure I had a big playmaker up there. Next year they will be a SB contender.

is he over rated..of course. But he is still a good musician. He doesnt have very hard songs to play (purple haze was the first song i learned on my guitar) but he still changed the way people view music. People still love him whether he is over rated or not. They did a thing on vh1's best one hit wonders. The only one to crack the top 10 from hendrix on the charts was All Along The Watchtower, yet he still revolutionized the music world. While he may not be as good of a guitarist as Van Halen, Clapton, Satriani, etc. he still is a big name musician who has some great songs.

keeping an update on Wowzer, he is now officialy a member of the Mariners. Went in the tryouts last night and killed em with my handy dandy bat.

i stole once, the 2nd time i stole i was voted out of the game..whiney bitches. Watch out for Wowzer on the field mo-fo..im crazy.

yea you can turn it off, and the s.s mode thing is like that. I made people from scratch and they were like 85-88..its kinda stupid but its still fun.

I imported my 99 ovr QB and got an 80 on the iq test..drafted to the browns as a 91!!!!!!

I'm still pissed off cause my rb I imported (used to have a diary, Grant Golden) turned black when he got into madden..I was so pissed I deleted him cause he will never be white again

Played a half on it last night/this morning against Dragsy. Me Cowboys, he Bears. 21-21

First impressions are good though. Gonna have a go at Superstar mode later today and play some more of it. Soundtrack is awesome, too.

I'm getting the game in about two hours, right when I get it I gotta head to practice mode to get used to the new additions..then its time to kick ass in Superstar mode.

Dane Cook is great, one of my favorite stand-up guys. I just got his new cd yesterday at target..if you're a fan of him..PICK IT UP. Hes got some great bits, I actually went to one of his shows and got to meet him after it. Hes a great guy and is even funnier in real life. His new cd is called "retaliation" it comes with a dvd that has all of his crank yankers, shorties watchin' shorties, bar mitzva bash, and his tourgasm preview.

OH YEA!!!

Oh no..oh no.

parents are ignorant..thats a simple fact. They go out and buy these 13 or 14 year old kids..hell maybe even younger a game like GTA..after seeing that it has a M rating then blame the creators. These ignorant fucks should take the blame..they bought the game, when you buy a game for your child you should look at the esrb rating. Zero put it the best..there are warnings out about language, violence, and that v chip but these parents are so damn ignorant that they refuse to pay attention to them and blame the makers of it.

When GTA:VC came out I was playing it and my 9 year old neighbor came over. His mom heard about the game and demanded that I stopped playing it because it was giving him a bad influence. I simply told her that she should worry about what her son is doing..not trying to stop me from enjoying my game. If kids are seriously so crazy that they would go and kill someone because they saw it on a game or tv they need to be in an asylum anyways.

this has had me pissed off for awhile. I own all of the dvds so far because my entire family is a huge Dukes fan and we refuse to see this movie. Willie Nelson isn't a good Uncle Jessie..Uncle Jessie wasn't skinny as a twig..they need to give him a fat suit or something to make him look at least similiar. Same with Boss Hog..hell John Goodman could have been a better boss hog than Reynold. Im fine with Sean William Scott, but instead of Knoxville I think Kutcher would have been a great choice him or Paul Walker. Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke just kills the entire movie..first off she isn't a blonde..2nd daisy wasn't a freakin slut. I'm going to wait till this comes out on dvd then rent it if I feel like it. I'd rather stick to my old dvds.

this is getting re-god damn-diculous someone needs to shoot this guy before he takes away all of the games that are decent. I mean you think he could at least do some research on these games before he attacks them.

keep up the good work AD..can't wait till Summerslam

Well, I would imagine the point of a career mode would be to be able to play the game from the perspective of an NFL star.  NFL stars don't get to choose whether the QB throws to them on every play, or call run everytime, or get to control what happens on the opposite side of the ball.  The lack of control is part of the experience of playing in a team sport. 

Sure it's frustrating for a QB when the receivers drop perfect passes.  It's frustrating for the RB when too many pass plays are called or their fullback misses and important block, but that's football.

Maybe I'm too into football, but I think that the dynamics of having to get open, make the catch, keep your feet in bounds, make the blocks, etc. would be enough to keep me entertained and make every play feel like something new.  Hell, I've even thought it would be interesting in real life to play as an offensive lineman.  Of course that might not translate too well into a video game, but I'd try it.

The other thing I'd like to see from a career mode is realistic reactions to your play (whether or not you control your player alone) by the coach/general manager.  That's not been done in either of the other two games with career modes I've played.  In NCAA 2005, you will continue to start no matter how badly you play, and you can completely and totally blow every play with absolutely no consequences if you wanted.  In the MLB game...MLB 2006?  You were mostly treated based on your ratings.  You started with low ratings, so you weren't playing in the majors for long no matter how good you played.  In the real world, if you were called into the majors and spent half a season with a batting average of over .500, lead the league in homeruns, rbis, on base percentage, runs, and stolen bases, they would not send you back the the minors, but they do that in MLB 2006. 

In Madden I would like to see bonuses offered to good players, a chance to earn the starting job in the preseason, and/or training camp (depending on the play of the starter), and most importantly, in my opinion, a chance to actually lose the starting job or be released based upon your play.  Yeah, it may make the game frustrating, but it would add to the challenge a little too.

I just think that if you want to play as the entire team, you can play franchise mode.  Any management aspect you don't like can be done by the computer entirely, so you can simply play every game if you want, using the entire team as you want to.

Give me realism in my career mode, not more of the same thing dressed up as a brand new mode.

I would like to be signed as say....a second string qb, then have all games simulated until a point where the starter gets injured, at which point (mid-game) I would be taken to the game to take over.  Perform well enough while the starter is out, and take over the starting job.

The ability could be added to simulate parts of the game you're not involved in, such as the opposite side of the ball, and anytime where you're on the bench, if you so desired.

That's the game I've been dreaming about, and the one that's at best a few years from being created, but most likely will never be created.

I can dream though.

If the only one of my ideas that was implemented in this Madden was the coach/gm reaction to your performance, I would become incredibly excited about the game, but we'll see.

its not the pink that makes you feel gay...its John Mayer.

but seriously it does seem a little empty to me, and like a.j said it could look better with a black border.

sorry to bump an old topic but I finally downloaded it. I put in Shadow when the quote comes up and I get to the screen that says Shadow President and nothing happens. I press enter but still..nothing happens.

damn right its big..I've got Cox and the estimated time is 1 hour and 50 minutes. I'm dl'ing anyways so it better be good

ign has another diary up, almost like the diary of a heisman hopeful but this time its with a new guy in super star mode. I liked the heisman one so you guys might wanna check this out.

this has a great and original concept and I'm liking this diary. Hope to see it go places.

i think Stella is a pretty good show, I have that kind of stupid sense of humor to laugh at these things. But I agree, Mind of Mencia is terrible and needs to be dropped quick...BRING BACK I'M WITH BUSEY!

probably eBay would be a good place to get it. They have lots of old shit up there.

Football- HB

Baseball- SS, Leadoff

Basketball- SG

ok, thanks. Off topic, is there anyother game like this that isnt DOS?

ok seriously, I would like to know if i can get this thing or if I have to delete Shadow Prez...
