Same here man. This will be the first time since 92 for me. I've always had either Madden, Live, or NCAA. Many times all three.

I'm still going to wait for OMT's classic 500,000 (though I am sure it'll be double this time) user beta test and see what the word is from people who don't mind shelling out that money, but I'll admit, it looks to be the case.

Lol, happy 20th anniversary.

wait, I'm not reading through the entire thread, am I hearing there is only sliders for human and not CPU?

[jewelz1132]

i didnt really look at the menus but there needs to be a break tackle slider for the cpu because they break everything..kinda like NFL 2K5

There are in fact no CPU sliders. I discovered this myself about 2 weeks ago as well, and was kind of wondering when I should break the news. I wish I had an explanation, but I don't. There's not all that much more I can say about it...

There's one other bit of bad news that I discovered at the same time, and that is there is no custom controller configuration any more. Again, I don't really have an explanation.

PS - In the build where I was adjusting sliders, I was adjusting User INT's to zero - so the human wouldn't pick off the QB as much (since I know people were originally concerned that the CPU QB threw too many picks).

(ducks out of way of flying chairs)

So anyway - I don't know what else to say really.

From the research I've done lately, you are right on.

Welp, just saved myself 90 bucks or whatever the CE edition was.

Thank god for OS....without it I would have been none the wise till launch day.

No offense Ian.

But this has got to be some kinda bad April fools joke right?

Un-freaking believable!

AND unexcuseable....
