Madden NFL 09 Questions

[Steve_OS]

Hey guys, I'll be headed out to EA Vancouver and will have the chance to play the game and interview the Producer. Please submit your questions and I'll do what I can to get them answered.

[Scott]

1. Has anything been fixed with OL/DL interaction?
2. How about forming an actually pocket?
3. Have QB animations been modified any?

[edubbs]

How have they improved each team's playing style tendacies, will each team FINALLY play like their real life counterparts?

Will the CPU throw deep this year?

thanks

Will there be any special presentations or atmoshpere changes during playoffs/superbowl? I.E. crowd louder and more involved in plays during the playoffs.

[Hawaii_Stars]

Is there any ESPN shows in the game such as NFL Live, Sportscenter, and is the NFL draft any different.

Can we trade for future years draft picks.

Will the sideline players actually react to what is happening on the field? Like jumping up and down on turnovers or running along the sidelines on a breakaway TD.

Steve could u try this 2008 coach mode trick posted by K22 to see if it works in Madden and NCAA 2009?

Switch to a player on a passing play before the snap (make sure he's an ellegible receiver...i.e: that he has a route to run), highlight him as if you were going to take control, then switch to another ellegible receiver. Then all you need to do is snap and watch :-)

1. Will there be pre-game, half time, and post game shows?

2. In franchise mode, has the CPU interception bug been fixed? (i.e. in simulated games when the CPU gets one interception it counts for 2 interceptions.)

3. Is there a more realistic passing pocket?

4. Has there been any development for online play in regards to those who use exploits (cheese play), and those who play straight-up (sim)?

5. Ask him to expound upon the in-game stat overlays.

6. How many gigs of audio commentary have been added? (Hammonds & Collinsworth)

7. Will the clock stop when players run or get knocked out of bounds?

8. Can you set up CPU vs. CPU games?

9. Will there be progressive time change during games? (From Afternoon to Nighttime) (Like NCAA)

10. Will there be a Weather Channel Live Feed? (Like NCAA)

11. Will there be an in-game save option? (Like MLB 08 The Show)

12. The Madden I.Q. sounds to be a potentially exciting feature. With that said, will manual slider settings still be an option?

13. Will there be historic teams?

Thanks!

1. Does throwing the ball with Philip Rivers look the same as throwing it with Tom Brady?

2. Are the playbooks expanded?

3. With roster updates... are there going to be "expanded rosters" updated? Like... before the season starts are we going to have the "exact" 70 man roster before the cuts were made? That way if we start a franchise, we will have the same bodies in camp?
