This is a good day, but also a SAD ONE.

"Madden NFL 09 will also feature a network-inspired broadcast presentation. Players will benefit from the authentic football knowledge of an in-booth play-by-play and color commentary team featuring Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond. In addition, numerous graphical enhancements have been made, including realistic weather and grass, sleeker player models and exterior stadium views."


It is amazing how they can word this to make it seem like this is something new and innovative. The saddest part is we are all excited and we have to be because the presentation has been so bad. It is yet to surface if it will be espn branded overlays, but I highly doubt it. Madden and summerall were doing this 10 years ago with full motion intros from James Brown in the studio. I guess when you are as hungry as we are for any kind of change for the better, anything tastes good right about now. I am just ashamed to admit I was actually excited about the announcement of this. EA we are all your Bitches.

I don't care who announces the game.

All I want is a game with nice presentation and atmosphere. I want to play a game that looks like a game on TV.

I want a game that has atmosphere! I want my playoff games and super bowl games to have a much a different atomsphere than regular season games.

Good point but just give it a rest. We all know that. We just want a good football game. The new producer could easily scratch a lot of these features and still sell out. The new producer is leaps and bounds above the rest. He is listening to us and improving the game. I can't complain about that. Now if the game play is garbage on 09 and they spent more time adding this fluff then we should all complain.
