Superbowl is dissapointing...

Wow, I thought they said they gave the superbowl alot more presentation and emotion... I saw no difference between the superbowl game and a regular game besides the stadium was decorated. Even the ending celebration is the exact same as it was in 08.

Franchise as a whole is just lifeless. Period.

Much like the rest of the game itself.

That's weak. In Tecmo Superbowl there was no doubt you were witnessing the greatest spectacle in sports:

Man, no kidding!! The Pro-Bowl is weak too. In last gen they had the players individual helmets in the game. I still don't understand for the life of me, that a system with much more power graphically can't implement this into the game, when they had it on a previous generation of consoles. Besides being a marketing ploy, can anyone explain this to me?

I guess it will be a "new feature" to add next year.

The lack of presentation values in the Madden games over the years has been a big disappointment to me. And when competitors or past games (Tecmo Bowl, ESPN 2k5, etc) get it right the first time out, it really makes me wonder. I think the Madden developer's focus through the years has been on gameplay and not so much presentation values. Why else would they get the ESPN license then practically ignore it other then Sportscenter radio updates?

I would like to see them add the pomp and festivites surrounding the Super Bowl to make it feel like the biggest game in the world, which it is. It's time to upgrade the presentation values of this series, already. It's part of the fun of the game.

Now now...They did add a neat new screen that pops up after the Superbowl is over telling you the final score and who the Superbowl MVP was.

Geesh...I mean C'mon...What more do you want?!?!?

I wonder what it's like to win the Superbowl in NFL HC?

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. How foolish of me to overlook that.
