This would be awesome. Imagine a January game in New England, minus 20 degrees outside, heavy snow, smashmouth football, and the NFL films guy. Oh geez, I miss football...

I just think we've finally got a real handle on the hardware and on how to get things made quickly. We also have learned the power of iteration and prototyping, and have built tools and systems towards those mindsets. Also I think we also have a team full of bad m'fers now. Add in the EA worldwide developed animation system (that likely no studio in the world will be able to top), and I'm more optimistic than pessimistic.

Is this animation system in the game? Was it in 08?

I have another question; is EA interested in getting a license to use the euphoria engine for football?

I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic, but EA sports is not known for having the best animations by a long shot, imo many studios top it already - unless you are referring to the future - in that case, what is making it cutting edge?

Heck, I figure if I'm at a game with a digital camera and hundreds of pictures to take, I'm taking them every chance I get.

Ok maybe true but there should be no camera flashes for daytime games. Only at night.

I agree with others. I'd like to see a game vs the cpu. I'd prefer to have it played on All-Madden level.

Thanks for sticking around Ian.

Liked...I liked the fact that you can actually return punts this year.

The game looks smooth.

Turnovers are toned down.

Dislike....

Not enough stat overlays for individual players.( I only saw 2 in the first half)

Needs more in between play scenes. (I.E. replays or player/fan scenes)

Game does seem too fast, living in Indy I have scene ALOT of Peyton Manning games...he CAN NOT move as fast as the game portrays.

Overall I cant wait until August!!

I agree. I only play against the cpu in franchise and would like to know how the gameplay looks on all madden against the cpu if possible.
