I can't wait to show some videos of it...it's soooo much better than the past approaches of our game (and other games).

Nice.Cant wait to "Fight for the Fade"

I myself have always enyoed those little bits you get on DVDs. The gag reel if you will. By the way, great screen and thanks for sharing it with us.

They'd have to have some ball pit moments in there also

That sounds interesting, and I would guess this still isn't the new tech that you mentioned before.

This info is as good as the new screenshot. You can't wait to show it, I sure as hell can't wait to see it.

Sweet. Battles for the ball once it gets to the WR are always pretty cool.

I can't wait to see the vids. Ian, I'm sure you wouldn't mind using Reggie Wayne in one of those vids lol. He's had some sick catches near the sidelines.

Hopefully the Colts will be a team to fear in Madden now. Their style of play couldn't be any worse for Madden 09.
