Here it is. Seems to explain the Weapons thing better

Naturally, the same goes for the other side of the ball. If you, like many people, have a “money play” that you use all the time, players like Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis or Broncos safety John Lynch will be able to hit the same buttons and see the actual play that’s been called (although it should be noted that you won’t be able to see the routes the receivers will run). As you might have guessed, both of these abilities will allow players to quickly change the outcome of the game, although we’re hopeful that it can only be used once or twice in a game.

That's a very positive article. I'm excited about the framerate and responsive controls. The Weapons system is making better sense now.

Good stuff. The more I hear people who have actually played the game rave about the frame rate and control, the happier I get.

Another good preview. I cant wait to see some gameplay videos. I hope EA does it this time.

Since when did Fred Smoot become a "big hitter?"

[Brandwin]

The more I read the more excited I get. I'm still going to play the wait and see game. I'm looking forward to Madden the most and that hasn't happened in forever.

This is what makes me nervous when EA adds their "feature." I'll be blowing up fullbacks with...............Smooot?

I like the idea, I just hope they don't get too crazy with it.

Why i don't buy into the hype about Madden is that all these sites are stating how they thought 06 and 07 were big dissappointments. Last year, they were praising 07 and most sites scored it an 8.5. That is great score for a game that was that much of a dissappointment.... Why would I believe them when it comes to 08.
