Good idea! I have to create him

why the farg isnt he in the game to begin with?

yea...jeremy bloom isn't either...i created him. there is only room for, i think, 54 man rosters. thats a big gripe i have...they need to have practice squads...and larger rosters...more realistic w/ nfl

most 7th round picks arent.

You didn't answer the question.  What's so farging hard about including the seventh round guys?  The deadline for getting into the game happens before the draft ends??

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

mussa did, however, answer the question.  The Madden programming only allows for 54 or 55 guys on the roster... so usually they leave off the later-round picks and other fringe guys.

Needless to say, but Nasty Nate probably isn't waiting in line to buy him sum new Madden.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's actually sprinting to the EB Games around the corner to buy it, but it looks like he's waiting in line.

Silence. He's a bowling ball. He's going to be a stud.

It would be kind of fun to make a powerback in Madden that was 4'2" and 260lbs. I'd also give him 100 speed, etc.

The next roster update usually takes care of the stragglers.  I'm sure Bloom will be in the next release.

I've played more Madden on the 360, and I still think it's a vast improvment over last year.  Much, much better.  The gameplay is far more responsive, and the animations are more lifelike.  They seriously improved the physics of the game.  If anyone was holding off on getting it because the last version sucked, I'd say that this would be a good purchase.

[mussa]

I want to also add that its harder than past versions. Maybe its just getting used to 360 controllers, but I've been struggling quite a bit against computer...

[Zanshin]

They've definitely made the secondary AI smarter.  Throwing deep and hitting those corner routes isn't the gimme it was before.

I just got romped 0-35 to GB. No matter how I switched it up, nothing worked...I even took CPU's sliders down after 2nd half...didn't even matter...

Anyone check out the BioShock demo yet?

Good stuff.

Obviously, you don't play enough video games.  You should spend a little less time on your advanced coursework and academia.

Had one of those "no effin way games" against the Giants. 27-14 loss. I play on all madden, so sometimes it's just not gonna happen. Westbrook did juke the living farg out of Sam Madison though on one td run.
