    Yeah, the game has been pretty frustrating at times when playing with the Texans.

    If that's true about the updates that's awesome.

    Ahman Green blows in the game. I hate him.

    Dunta Robinson and Mario Williams are the only real star players IMO.

    And DeMeco Ryans.

    While I think we should be rated a little higher, I don't think we've shown enough to warrant that much of a higher rating. I basically run out of the gun and try to throw to AJ as much as possible, the guy catches everything. Our running game is horrible though, I'm lucky to get 3 yards with Green.

    I'm using Mario on D but I can't seem to get to the QB. Is it just rushing and either pushing L1 or R1? Are there other moves I can use?

    I agree with you, 78 seems about right.

    I haven't played much Madden yet. But with Mario only use L1 (finesse), his power move rating is very low. Which is cool, it differentiates different types of defensive ends. I like moving Mario to the right side, I am more comfortable there. Try and play DT, and try to occupy Williams' guy. Its tough though, when you do get heat on the CPU it usually throws a bad pass before getting sacked. Against humans its a different ball game though.

    Mario still has a low awareness rating so its like hes r****ded out there. Try simming some games and hes not even the best defensive player statistically for us.

    seconded. mario (with me controlling him) is a dud: gets chop-blocked and driven off the play. occassionally he'll blow by the LT, but then he's in space doing some weird funky move.....

    i'm terrible at defense.

    So if you are on Live, do rosters and ratings update as the year goes on?

    78, that sounds about right.

    78 sounds about right. Sure.

    But bottom quarter of the team rankings when we ranked somewhere dead in the middle statistically is BS.

    Is anyone else having any freezing issues? It's happened like four times now and becoming more frequent.
