Jistic, I can't seem to download the video. Based on your comments regarding the Bears numbering you've confirmed my fear that they did not fix how they were in Madden 06, as the white part of the font was too thick and you could barely see the orange trim around it. What a shame. Not a gamekiller by anymeans but something that drove me nuts last year. Oh well.

It just looks so incredibly dull, IMO.

The video looks great, and yes you can clearly see the orange outline around the white numbers.

I hated all the pre release videos of Ncaa, and thought I would not like it for the 360.I was very close to cancelling my pre order and getting it for current generation.

Well, I am glad I got the 360 version.

My lesson,don't get worked up by videos of two morons playing a game.Wait until the game is in your hands and you are playing it.

Remember, Madden is basically NCAA with some refinements and polished gameplay.They are both using the same engine.

The white is too thick though. I don't know if this makes sense, but the numbers are too fat. It just doesn't look like the Bears jersey. As Gman said not a game killer by any means, but they fixed other uni's this year.

Thanks, that's encouraging. I'm still trying to download....

I really like the snow effect/night game look - looks great. Let's see... cold enough to snow at night in Chicago, yet most of the fans and the people on the sidelines are in short sleeves. Looks funny lol. Also check out Packers #27's reaction on the fake FG around 4:10 mark - that's about as dumbfounded I've seen a computer player ever look in a game. He stopped not once, but twice.

So many possibilities and power available with in these next gen systems, and apparently Tiburon doesn't know how to use it. It's sad because of what they've done graphically you can see potential in the game. But they're concentrating on the wrong things imo; same old song. Lateral movement looks ridiculous; defense appears to be an afterthought - again. Looks pitifully easy to get outside the pocket, even with the QB doing that slow, weird "I'm ready to throw" movement. Then again, perhaps the game will play better on the higher levels. They definitely need more gameplay tuning options
