I'm having the same problem.
I'd love to watch these full screen.

PROS:

-I like the different run animations for the offensive players. AP and Reggie Wayne where noticebly speedy guys and Dallas Clark had a plodding running animation. Looked very realistic.

-Errant passes by Jackson was very nice to see.

-The 1st TD pass by Jackson was beautiful. The one knee animation that was used by the WR in the back of the endzone was great.

-Playbooks look VERY team specific. That will definately help the teams 'feel' authenic.

-Kickoff lenghts were the correct distances, and didn't always go out of the endzone like in 08.

-Reggie Wayne's TD celebration was great. I love when the road team runs and throws the ball at some home team's logo or advertisement hanging on the back of the endzone wall IRL.

CONS

-Atmosphere needs overhauled. Each team IRL only gets 8 home games per year. The fans at the game should be going crazy. I have seen more hyped fans during preseason games, versus what I see in Madden lately.

-OL/DL. I appreciate you guys playing sim but, there were SEVERAL times you guys could have easily run for 10-12 yards after rolling out with the QB.



The lack of a QB pocket is still going to be an issue when playing cheesers who roll out of the pocket online. It's obviously still too easy to get outside of the DE's in Madden.

The Good

1. WR/CB animations seem smooth and effective, maybe in the future see more stutter steps and fakes.
2. The announcers do a good job and didn't make many mistakes with the calls.
3. The tackling of/and breaking out of seems a lot more effective and smooth.
4. The player models look good.
5. The stat overlays and starting lineups are a big improvement.
6. The turnovers seem more realistic now.
7. The guy with the gun got fired, so the receivers don't get nervous anymore.
8. Ian lost.

The Bad

1. Didn't see too many penalties called, could be good or bad, maybe Earl was on break.
2. No auto-replays on big plays.
3. The commentary on touchdowns didn't have a big impact.
4. The crowd reaction was dead, and even cheered when a Vikings player got hit.
5. No more coach cut-scenes, big screen graphics, or any other cut-scenes.
6. Pre-game, halftime, and post game "shows" do nothing.

Nobody said anything about them adding the one returner play (thanks EA)

To me the game looked like it has the potential to capture the fun of last-gen.
Cris Collinsworth's colour commentary is outstanding.
Tom Hammond ... not so much. So dull and lifeless. His Reggie Wayne TD announcement sounded like the poor schmuck didn't convert a 1st down.
Like Jackson's inaccuracy.
Like the echoing sound effect of the referee talking in the dome.
Absolutely love being able to sub on the fly.
Love that almost all the last-gen features are back in the game.

no game is perfect we all know that but ,if you guys slow the game speed down maybe even a speed control slider like in NBA LIVE ,MADDEN would be BACK

Terrible play calling by the Vikings lead player. Why did you go away from the run after Peterson went out of the game also bad read on int .. Thanks for the veiwing!!

i was actually able to see the playaction issue i had during the play in the 1st qtr 1:22..the DE edwards was going at peyton but when he began to roll he got stuck with the olineman..it actually made him look like he was on the offensive line and the OL was playing DT

What I liked;

- The presentation and interface of the playcalling menu's and scores, etc.
- Better grass & stadium effects
- More responsive controls
- Stat overlays

What I hated;

- The juke stick is way overdone. The agility of runningbacks are great, yes; but this game looks like the laws of gravity and momentum don't apply at all. Needs to be toned down. There should be a certain latency period before a player can move into another juke move, and a higher agility rating can mean a lower latency period between the moves. I hope you understand what I'm saying.
- Game speed is way too fast. More arcade-ish than many of us sim heads would like
- Players look really short for some reason (until the camera is pointed on them).
