I think it's a great addition as well. But let's hope they build on it in the future.

I wrote in another thread that got closed how this is what I was hoping for.
Something that seperates the T.O.s and the Marvin Harrisons of the game.
This ia about the best thing I have seen besides the new Locomotion or new tweaked Locomotion (whatever it is).This is pretty sweet.Itd be nice if this is in the NCAA 11 game.

Gore did some.... provocative celebrations towards the end of the season. (Lions?)

madden is always off on rating, they gave frank gore 77 STR (HB Frank Gore - 93 OVR, 93 SPD, 77 STR, 92 AGI)
look at this video and tell me if he's a 77 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZWZKod4-90 @ 0:33

I'm primarily an offline gamer, so what I do is basically just download the roster, and edit to my liking. I imagine for you online gamers it is tough because you have to "deal with it", but user skill>ratings, or at least it has.

Old School.....not "Old Spice"

How do you know what EA's goal is? As of right now from what we know it's basically a generic celebration/show-boating rating sponsored by old spice. If I'm wrong, I'd like to see some examples of the different celebrations/mannerisms unique to players. Favre has alot of swagger, but what will it add when we see him highstepping towards the endzone.

It seems the swagger ratings only come with TD's, so it wouldn't effect Olineman or Punters because they don't score much.
