Not worth a read. You are beating a dead horse.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but this thread is linked from an ESPN videogame column. Good stuff!

A great leap forward. Ian if you would have been doing this kind of interaction with community boards like OS for the last few years we would not be complaining every year. A job well done.

As a 2k fan, this seems to be a step in the right direction towards me returning to maybe a purchase of Madden. Now lets get on the OL/DL interactions!

I must say that this is the 1st iteration of Madden that seems like a true breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction. I love football, be it 2k or Madden. There's no excuse for Madden to not be much further along than it is but the reality is that it is what it is and I'm just thankful that it appears to making its 1st real stride. Hopefully this is the 1st of many to come.

Looking at this video, I think EA has really stepped up with better players models and movement, along with better graphics in general from 08.

Everything has for sure gotten better.

It is just to see if somethings will get fixed before release.

gameshow guys are hilarious because they rarely know what you guys are talking about. I remember the last one I listened too, the Madden rep said they'd fixed the stat engine in franchise mode, and the guy started going on about how his son wasn't going to be able to run for 2k yards on him anymore.

gameshow guys are pure arcaders, clearly.
