Last year's game was a massive move forward in the series. And now... Wow!

So far we already have....

Team specific traditions
Coaching carousel
OD coaching contracts (which are HUGE for those who go 8-4 at bigtime schools and never get in danger of being fired).
Massive Zone Coverage improvements.
Ability to sim, call plays, make subs in OD games via your computer.
Custom Playbooks

Absolutely incredible confirmed list in just one year. Mad props to you EA Sports.

I can't wait to play the game. I will be completely sold now if we can have confirmed coach ratings outside of the Prestige.

Ditto to your sentiments. Seriously, Madden and NCAA stepping it up in a huge way this year.

Feels good to be a football freak again.

Yep, I am impressed so far, if QBs scramble the way they suppose to, like they do in real life, then this will be a killer year for football.

Hopefully the commentary has been improved too, if not, then I will just turn off commentary like I always do.

The good thing is you even forgot to mention maybe the biggest of them all in custom playbooks.

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch...

They're basically casting their line and all the little fishies are bitting like mad.

They control the content here. When the final product arrives they won't be able to hide anything anymore. I'll wait until then.

2011 may very well be the breakout year in sports for EA in this current gen.

I agree, they are stepping up, but in large part due to the OS community.

The OS community has played a huge factor in my opinion with it's persistence over the years.

Also, don't discount what our forum has given EA from an education standpoint. This game was built by us whether you believe it or not.

EA did their part by placing guys on the development team who listened and continue to listen. I don't think anyone in this forum can dispute EA cares about this game and it's customers.

I don't know about you guys but EA has earned my respect, and if they continue this path, they have a loyal customer for years to come.
