Once your daughter figures out the niceties of physical coordination, she will so kick your ass.

She's your daughter, after all.

jinx, have you guys figured out yet that you don't have to return your feet to the center after every step? That will help tremendously if you're still in the beginning stages. Also, watch the knees and ankles. You'll be surprised how soon grownup joints start to ache if you don't consciously keep the stomping as gentle as possible.

You must write a parenting tip book! Just remember to thank me in the acknowledgements page.

Thats too funny Jinx - My son just got Madden '07 and he is kickin my ass on a regular basis - I can't seem to get the whole 15 control thing with two thumbs down - guess I'm just too old.

Back in 1995 or so I was playing NBA Jam with my nephew on his Super NES. He was about 9 or 10 at the time, and when he executed a particularly impressive dunk I said, "That's cool! How do you do that one?" He said, "I dunno, I just push the buttons till it does something I like."

I know, I know... I have to get all the taunting and grandstanding in while I still can.


Sounds like sage advice, thank you. I still get dizzy and lost on the mat if I don't return to center though
