seems a bit hypocritical that the nfl "allowed" ea to put in celebrations when they have taken a hard line to discourage them in the league with penalties

i guess its another example of ea's next-gen motto "if it's not really in the game, it's in our game"

*sigh*

I don't know what NFL you've been watching, but in the real world celebrations are most definitely "in the game".

I did not know you can do that with the other game, that is cool. I believe I read it will be implemented similarly, which is nice.

I believe that is why they are making user controlled, I would not discount a little excitement from players that don't celebrate, but nothing over the top.

I believe the NFL just wanted to not have them be over the top and to scripted, the whole sportsmanship issue. I don't mind it in the game though.

I hope this will be one of many examples of EA bringing back old features not as they were, but greatly enhanced for next-gen hardware.

Madden'98 and Madden'01 had user controlled celebrations but they weren't as detailed as this new blog describes Madden'09s nor were there that many of them. While minor in the grand scheme of things, this is a good sign of things to come in my opinion.

I have been looking forward to user controlled celebrations, although being a Raiders' fan, I can't imagine that I'll have much to celebrate this year.
