Quick Madden Question

[yojitani]

I bought a used Madden 08 the other day, but I was wondering if there's a manual that's supposed to be in the box. I only got a box with a disk in (no cover - the guy said he lost the original case). I can't work out how to actually play the game! It seems the computer does all the playing for me?! I'm not really much of a gamer (I don't have a gamepad even) so these things aren't exactly intuitive for me.

Thanks for your help!
