No he's right. With Josh Johnson and all that new speed, the Niners are the new cheese team. Just sad, I used them all the time to play online since Madden 10. I hate bandwagoners.

You're right. The 49ers weapons used to be Fank Gore and Vernon Davis only. People tried to cheese with Ted Ginn recently, but that's about it. I used to work Delanie Walker a ton after I forced people to respect Davis.

Now? With AJ Jenkins, Randy Moss, and Limichael James added to a team with Davis and Gore AND now the Alex Smith doesn't have terrible ratings... the 49ers are going to be one of the "cheese teams." It desn't help that they have one of the best defenses in the game as well.

I love that my 49ers are a good team. I hate how often people duck games now simply because the are good in real life. I used to ball with my 49ers and people never saw it coming. It's okay, what ever. I'm just happy my team is relevant. What is sad is seeing all these terrible 49ers player on YouTube.

Doesn't LMJ only have like 94 speed though? It isn't like we are talking 99 speed. Frank Gore has 94 speed, or at least had 94 speed in Madden 11. He might only have like 92 in M12.

I don't understand the comment that LMJ might be the number two most traded for rookie.

I know it shouldn't be a pass rusher as long as Madden's line interactions are still terrible. I don't know who #2 should be, but I agree RG3 will likely be #1.

I know that I tend to go after other underrated rookies when I do an unrealistic franchise for fun. For example, in Madden 11 I would add J. Murphy CB for the Rams. He had A potential and would become a 99 or so press and man coverage corner by year three, and was an easy steal.

Not saying he was wrong, just found it comical that nearly every question he found a way to bring it back to the Niners. In fact, the only 2 questions he didn't mention the 49ers were about specific teams (Panthers, Redskins, Eagles and then about Colts vs Broncos).

Trust me, as an Eagles fan my whole life, I know all about bandwagon fans when it comes to Madden.

	4. Which first round pick will have the smallest impact on its Madden roster? Dustin: The obvious choice has to be [insert defensive player here], but from an offensive stand point...

This doesn't make me feel good at all.

this is why i do a fantasy draft in franchise mode so i can get most of the best rookies so by year 3 my team is a beast but this all depends on if gameplay is solid enought where player ratings matter.

how can he say Justin Blackmon will have little impact ! As a Jaguars User im familiar with using mediocre QB's. Just having a WR that can hold on to the ball is enough to elevate the Jags passing game, couple that with the other additions made at WR and the fact that Gabbert's rating will improve over the course of the season( and even if it doesn't and he's pulled the Jags QB rating shouldn't drop below 70) Blackmon's will give jags users a legit go to guy, which hasn't really been present for the Jags since Matt freakin jones(and not counting mercedes lewis). oh well I know for me personally it will be a huge impact haha.
