You would think with all the glory and praise NFL2K5 garnered and still to this day recieves (it is a great game no doubt) the Tiburon team would look at their franchise mode and ESPN presentation as a nice template to build from. Heck The Show team was very deliberate in taking many of the strong points of MVP Baseball and implementing that into the Show series.

Nothing wrong with that...right?

The only true thing missing from Madden right now is great presentation and a truly rewarding and replayble franchise mode. And I know they hear us....and I truly hope to kill it this year.

We can hope right!

I'm not sure if Thursday will include info on a half-time show or not. Looking at the teaser it didn't really show anything that might elude to a halftime show. This might be for two reasons 1. They are saving it to show it later 2. Its not in there.

I am hoping for the first one and that it will be in there

The Polamalu interception was cool. Looked like he does when he intercepts the ball.

I too enjoy madden 11.....my quote was truly positive....if it's no worse I'll be ok with it but i"m hoping for some improvements.

Did I just see Improved WR Route Running?!? Andre Johnson ran that 10 and In precisely! I'm loving it...looks good...definitely a huge step up from last year! Looks like the "dive catch" button is iin full effect as well...I caught a quick glimpse of some new collision based tackles and gang tackles but couldn't get a clear shot as to what was going too much! Yet in still...super stoked!

All they need to do is reference NBA2k Commentators... They comment on last weeks games, the last time one of your players played that team and the type of game he had. They hit all the nails on the head.

^^^ we'll see. but given their history this gen, i can't hold out much hope.

The presentation teaser on the other hand looks really good. I seen cheerleaders, mascots, team entrances, flyovers and a really nice stat overlay popping up (I think) mid-game with Mike Vick that looked like something you'd see on Sunday Night Football. At this point I think it's safe to say this year is going to be a much better leap forward than Madden 11 was from Madden 10. Hopefully it all translates well on the field.

yeah, a stat overlay that looks like it's from a video game. and also swipes ea sports instead of espn or nfl network, two licenses that they have access to. whatever.
