Thanx for the zoomed in pic. It does appear that the socks are lower. I hope this is an option for the final game because so many players where them that way.

Looking at the pic, it seems like the Colts are all wearing low socks while the Pats are wearing them higher. For that reason I think it might be a universal thing for each team, but I would love it if we could edit this for each player.

Cosign. Also EA might correct this by the time the game launches. I remember on NCAA they had different sock lengths on players and by the final game they were just universal to the team.

The snow and player models look great, but here's the mandatory "I want to see it in motion."

Graphics Bump confirmed. So far so good, lets see how it looks in motion and plays before I sign off on it. I'm not as sold on Madden 09 as I am on NCAA 09.

Wow, that looks amazing.

I love how the QB is 10 yrds back from the offensive line and their isn't a defensive lineman anywhere near him. An by the body position of the only defensive lineman that is roaming free. He looks like he's running over to the crowd to get blocked. It will never change no matter what.

Good points.

However, it is really hard to tell from this angle if the horrible OL/DL interaction is back once again this year.

This is my biggest concern though. If they do not add a QB pocket this year, the game will not get much playing time from me.

The thing is, I do not believe the engine that they are using will support the proper player interaction to create a accurate QB pocket. They should have NEVER used that 10 year old gameplay/animation engine from the PS2/XBOX for the NextGen football games IMO.

That engine is really starting to show it's age.

Some guys are going hands on with NCAA this week so, We will know in a couple of days if the lack of a QB pocket is still in these football games.

Like you, I'll be VERY surprised if we finally will have a EA football game with a realistic QB pocket.
