I honestly don't know about NCAA. I am pretty positive it was fixed for Madden because we saw it on community day (on Moostache's machine) but I wasn't able to reproduce it on a latest build.

The desperate scramble looked weird and sometimes ended abruptly when I couldn't get to the mascot in time. The experience is a strange sense of emotions as at first your thinking, "heck yeah! I scored a touchdown!" and then your emotions move to desperation as you frantically try to get to the mascot in time. Is that a large enough explanation for ya?

This is very well put. What fixes would you make for next year?

1. Unlimited timer to get to the mascot?
2. Hit a button to "warp" or automatically trigger the mascot celebration?
3. Something else?

my vote would be, if you guys were going to change it, would be #2, to just hit a button to trigger the mascot celebration.

I for one like the fact of running over to the mascot. Sorta like taking a victory lap after winning a race.

Yeah me too - it's that extra level of taunting...kind of akin to the old Madden ambulance or making "Little Wayne's head bleed". I would maybe say number 1 seems like a good idea.

Man, I loved the Ambulance. Anyhow, the only problem that I foresee with #1 is the fact that the user is physically having to make his player run to the mascot and I think that the actual moving the player to the mascot is part of the problem guys are having with the whole mascot thing.

Like I said, I enjoy it and wouldn't mind #1 or the fact of leaving it alone. Maybe we could have a combination of the two. For guys like you and I, who enjoy the extra taunting aspect of it, allow us to run over. For those that just wanna do the mascot celebration could press a button and warp their player over to him.

I miss those days so much! I'd love to see injury cutscenes with those again, or the cart.

As for the TD celebrations, I like them. I'd like to have more say-so on them however. I like the idea of a unlimited timer as long as it can only be used offline (because there are players online who'd certainly abuse it) and can be switch on or off.

I also like the automatic trigger. I think a combination of both and having the ability to switch on or off would be great. I want to have master control over all kinds of stuff like that...

I swear I'm not a control freak...

I think you should just leave it as is and run to the mascot, I think making celebrations more interactive is fun.
