Good
1. I like the animations overall, the players look a lot less robotic than in previous Maddens.

2. Some poor throws by Jackson because of his ratings.
3. Punt/kick returns seem better.
4. I liked the holes the O-line opened up for the run, those looked good at times.
5. Collinsworth is great, I also liked the injury thing, showing the bone, its a nice graphic.

Not so good
1. No auto-replays after big plays.
2. The pocket needs to be formed better.
3. The QB throwing motions seem awkward.
4. Manning rolls out and moves too fast.
5. Not enough stat overlays, I'd like some season/career numbers to be shown.

Overall, I like how the game played. I like how the two teams seemed to have their real life styles. The vikings kept the game very AP focused and the colts came out in 3 wide, obviously this is the human players decision, but I liked that it works. AP had it going and so did Manning, and the Vikings got in trouble when Jackson was forced to pass.

I'd also like to say thanks to Ian and others working on Madden for their interaction. I consider myself a 2k football fan, but I've enjoyed Madden for many years in the past, though I haven't bought a Madden since 2005. But 09 is looking good and it might be worth my money and time.
