xbox impressions

[liftheavy]

Very similar to last years game...

-all players have their pictures in the game
-linemen are still skinny (06 was last version that lineman were their actual size)
-doesn't look like they updated any of the players equipment
-playbooks are the same( at least the raiders are)
-coaches stats are not updated (it shows lane kiffin with no record)
-95% of the free agents have no stats
-you can manual do different TD celebrations this year
-sim stats are still off (only a handful of qb's with 3,000 plus yards, 5 players with over 400 plus carries, I think the most was in the 480 range. The league leader in tackle for loss only had 4.
-I am not seeing may stat overlays in the game...granted I only played a little over a quarter.
-you don't have to use the cone on all madden level
-no tony bruno
-newspapers are stilll there...no changes
-gameplay a little more crisper
-field goals are the same...too easy
-no new camera angles
-intro into a game is the same

I am disappointed that they didn't fix the sim stats, lineman sizes, lack of stat overlays and the playbooks. I am happy that they have all the pictures in the game...I didn't see one player with a generic picture!

The more I play...I hope I find more I like
