No more radio guy...Collinsworth rocks 5. Dynamic stat banners! 6. Animation blending is 500% better - very few pops Needs improvement 1. Commentary overall 2. Presentation overall (no cut-scenes) 3. OL/DL play 4. More animation variety - same post play celeb and strip ball tackle seen multiple times 5. More "awareness" - head tracking, looking around, etc. Players often look straight ahead when they run 6. Not much emotion from commentary / sound / animation on the final drive 7. Stats are unrealistic. Need accel clock or longer default quarter lengths. 8. QB Mechanics

I started to post much of what you have. I agree 100% on all points. Overall..........great job this year!

As for "waiting for numbers", that's me not elaborating on the fact that we can actually collect data from total amounts of penalties per games played once the game hits the shelves and scale it from there. I have had games with 7-10 penalties before, but this one just happened to have zero. I'm not totally positive on it though (as you guys know I was off the team for the last 3 months of finaling). So in summary, I can't say for sure if the numbers are perfect. Will it be 15 a game? Probably less than that for the general fun-factor (again something we could mess with next year for All-Madden/hardcore mode). But I hope there is definitely an improvement. I don't want to commit yet without testing though...so this one might be a wait and see approach.

Penalty frequency is pretty hard to get right. How do you convince the player that something he had no control of(cpu O or D lineman jumping off sides when P1 is the FS)is tuned realistically? As long as the sliders will let us fine tune it, it should be fine.

Good Stuff:

1. Running control
2. Defensive line more active at jumping to bat down passes
3. On the field bluff mode
4. Lighting effects/grass texures
5. Subs at the playcall menu

Needs Improvement:
1. Some animations do not look natural.

I watched the first two videos and noticed ZERO penalties.

Would have liked to have seen the 2nd half but neither video is available. Is it possible to get them back up and going?
