True, but when I tell those casual gamers about updated rosters their eyes pop out. The updated rosters are too complicted for the casual gamer.

When I first saw this option I thought they were talking about rewinding back to a time when they had features that they currently don't have for Madden 09. I actually got excited!! I thought "wow, putting back into the game what they already had. What a great idea!!!"

funny thing about this feature is that it will only be used for touchdowns lol. major blower.

I agree with the people who are complaining. If this feature was IN ADDITION to the features that we want, then we wouldn't care, because you can cut it off. But if they are spending TIME, on some bush like this, then EA doesn't have its priorities in order.

No offense but get over it. Its been their line for almost 10 yrs and hardly any of their games represent that.

They already gave them eye candy. Don't you remember back in '06 when everyone was like "OMG that looks so great!"? Tons of people saying that in line at Best Buy during the midnight launch of the 360.

Either way, the point is, the casual gamer, your little brother and so forth, don't care about what you just listed. You think they do, but they really don't.

Maybe they implemented rewind to give the gamer a work around to the massive INTs and fumbles which plagued 08.

"Did LT just fumble for his 4th time in the 1st half? Are you so mad you are about to break another controller because we can't fix our gameplay? No problem...w/ EA's new Rewind feature you can replay that last play until Ladanian is able to get tackled w/o losing the ball...because here at EA we don't actually fix things"...

EA ...

"If it's in the game, it's in the game...but we leave it out because it's not in our game because it wouldn't sell because the casual gamer wouldn't buy it"

*NOTE* the fine print

Ahh... I love the OS forums. Same **** by the same posters, different day.

Reasoning doesn't work well apparently.

i think its a good addition.

if the game has any comeback ai bull crap 80 yard plays then ill just rewind that crap up. unless i find it a fair and legitimate score
