If they pulled these off, Madden 10 may truly be worth it...

Part II

Much smarter trade logic, true draft experience (with potential for busts and great finds - probably bettter if you use Madden draft roster instead of importing from NCAA), etc.,

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like to be able to pull off ANY trade I see fit to make. I understand the need for the AI to make smart decisions with regard to personell, but ultimately, if I want to trade Peyton Manning for a backup punter and a can of Tough Actin Tinactin, then I want the game to allow me to do it.

Sometimes, in sports games, the AI gets a little "too smart" and doesn't allow a trade that actually takes place in the real world. Baseball sims are especially guilty of this. They too often won't let a very good player be traded for draft picks or minor leaguers with potential. In real life such trades are often made for no other reason than for the poorer club to dump salary.

Anyway, this might be the first time in a long time that I might pass (pardon the pun) on this year's Madden. I liked Madden 09 but I hardly played it so I don't know that I'll want to buy Madden 10. I think I could be content to just play 09 again. And, now that I think of it, the same goes for NHL 09. I loved it but, ultimately, I get bored with sports games pretty quickly.

Besides, I think this fall I'll be spending a good chunk of my gaming hours playing Operation Flashpoint 2 and IL2:Sturmovik Birds of Prey.

That doesn't seem to make sense...

If you are playing as Colts and want to trade away Manning to an AI team for a can on Tinactin, you can still do that.

Its the other way around thats a problem...where AI teams are trading away their Mannings for nobodies. Or trading away their high draft choices for nothings that takes away from realism.

If you read the blogs, you will see what they are trying to address.

Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, you're right. The AI shouldn't do things like that, but as a gamer I want to be able to make any trade I feel like making.
