It's funny to read the comments year to year. Do you know how many threads were created for presentation and sideline interaction on this website? For years and years people wanted madden to up their presentation. Interactive sidelines was basically at the top of everyones wish list here at OS. I don't know what sim community you refer to, but Rex and his team have done a great job meeting the needs of this specific community.
Funny when they finally put it in the game, no one seems to care.
