Madden NFL 09 Producer Interview Questions

[trazzy88]

Will the progressive AI that they speak of let people know that they not covering ball so they can stop complaining about fumbles. If you trying to spin and juke in a pile and people grabbing for the ball.
Last time I checked it does get ripped and is part of the game.

Will Madden NFL 09 display at 1080i/p for the PS3 version this year?

Please just ask why they don't include referees and the chain gang into the game, sooo many people have been asking for this and it never gets done nor answered as to why not.

Ian Cummings answered this question on the EA forums where he is holding Q&A sessions..

I didnt read through all the pages..so if anyone asked..sorry for asking again, But are there going to be formation subs like in '05 and '06 please bring that back...

1. Is there an Auto "Replay Frequency" slider/option a la 2K5? I'd always set mine to Frequent and could always hit a button to stop the replay and move on if I wished. That would be great.

2. Is there still going to be the morphing, clipping (whatever you call it) issue where players seem to pass through each other, or walk through the end zone wall??

3. Please confirm that Marshall Faulk is OUT this year! jk-I think.

4. Is the Edit Player glitch fixed where you had to edit twice to undo the huge arms he'd receive after the first edit? My FS looked like Schwarznegger.

5. Will the Auto Replays include key penalty replays and injury replays? Please.

6. Will there be the ability to perform late hits? That was a blast in APF2K8 and we'd love to see this in Madden.

Thanks much.
We're "scarred", but we're still rooting for EA and a great Madden game this year.

"Priorities" like ring builder, Madden IQ, and Rewind. Because those are more important than Ref's or chain gangs!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
