I bought the M10 version of this guide last year when I was new to Madden. It always seems to be really helpful. You may wanna read this stuff just to get back to the basics. Sometimes I'll over complicate things. This book will really help you no matter how good you think you are.. There are a few things in this guide that I wouldn't advise you to listen to but when it comes to concepts, it's really great. I loved how a lot of their concepts come from real football..
