Wow, pretty impressive video. Can't wait for Madden this year, looks like I'll be playing it more than I have the past 2 years.

Yea back when Madden 08 was first announced Ian cummings stated that certain players will do their college teams trademark celebration... he mentioned players from Miami will do the U sign and Gator chomp and FSU Chop

so expect other players to do this as well... Nice touch

The o-line play in these vids on pass plays are down right silly looking. No pocket what so ever. And the atmosphere is beyond bland. I do believe the game will be much better than 07 but, It still just 'looks' like it's just more of the same Madden. Just with 60fps. Nothing from a strategy standpoint has given me the 'feel' of football schemes when playing this game the last couple of years. The gameplay engine these guys are using is broken in so many ways, and I was really surprised when they carried it over to the new consoles. They will get their #'s because alot of people like myself need their NFL fix but, that does not mean this series is progressing the way it should be by any means.

Yep, kinda in the same boat here. Two weeks ago, I was psyched for this game and thought the vids looked sweet. Now, I see so much of the same old stuff. I will likely get it because it looks improved enough to be playable.

edubbs, I can't agree more when you said the engine is broken in so many ways and you were surprised to see them carry it over. I was too.

By the way, I was watching some vids and in one they were talking about how they were implementing a full franchise, where you could even relocate and everything, and full customization of a player's appearance. I'm sorry, but these options were available in Madden 2004.

Apparently you haven't had the opportunity to watch Brady play in the last four years. That was the knock on him when he broke into the league. He's not Carson Palmer but I remember a bomb he threw against the Seahawks to Bethel Johnson two years ago that sealed a game.

I haven't bought APF but I'm a little bit shocked that this video has already gotten the aw gee shucks EA will always be EA crew stirred. I didn't see much of anything that would be cause for concern and the stadium editor made my jaw drop.

I've been playing NCAA and I've been having trouble with it because I'm not used to the 360 controls but Madden has me juiced.
