Anyone here pick it up?

I have it, but haven't really played it all that much. I've looked at a lot of the rosters and I think everyone is rated a lot more fairly than what they've been in the past. Flacco is an 86 overall, but he has 97 arm strength and 87 awareness IIRC. Not bad.

I wasn't going to pick it up this year because I agree with a lot of folks who say that all you're doing is just paying for a new roster update. There is definitely truth to that. However, I'm pleasantly surprised with the game play on the field. For years I've felt strongly that the NCAA game was much better than Madden because Madden always seemed too "cartoonish" (for lack of a better description). I'm please to say that the on-field play is much better and more closely resembles that of what NCAA used to do.

Since NCAA is no more, I wonder if their developers were picked up by Madden? It would make sense to have that collaboration IMO from a developer's perspective.
