Very sweet Ian! Thank you! Why not have the fly overs occur sporadically during the season and of course happen during the championship games? Would be cool to maybe happen once or twice during the regular season. Keep the fan/game player guessin. Otherwise keep up the great work!

I must add my two cents about those who harp on 2K5, AGAIN - LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

As much as I think 2K5 is/was a great game of football that I actually still own even though I've been on board with Madden since it's console inception on the Genesis, it's just pathetic to keep talking about 2K5 as if Ian and everyone else doesn't already know about that game. I've even said it a while back - 2 DIFFERENT FOOTBALL ENGINES AND TECH. Ian has even been forthright saying how they didn't have the tech to do certain things in the past. That can also be attributed to how flexible the engine is and how easy or hard it is to implement different certain things on it.

Those who love to dwell in the past need to get over themselves and just learn to let things go. This is 2009, not 2004 and EA is trying to make amends in ALL their sports games and even their non-sports games. Those of you who can't roll with that, get back in your time machine to the past and get lost.

Though accurate that there are flyovers for most all open stadiums in many games, we are going for more of a broadcast feel rather than a "you're there" feel, so if we show it all the time it will not be special at all during the big games. Networks don't often show the fly over as part of the broadcast unless it's a really big game.

100% agree!!!

Sorry to rain on everybody's parade
I know this is a neat little addition to Madden but in no way shape or form should energy be put more on this than running and throwing animations.
Jus my 2 cents
