haha would be nice but that is how controllers go through tv's.

If the ball goes thru em, hell will break loose.

From the original blog:

Quote:

Unlike last-gen which only had 5, we were able to get all 7 referees in to Madden NFL 10 with AI and a full suite of avoidance (and collision) animations.

i think thats fn awsome but it could be annoying at the same time.... hey but we want realism correct? well there its is guys.... hey at least when your feeling angry cause the ref made a bad call like they usually do.. you can take it out on them now haha.

It would be cool if they were signature styles for stuff like that.

Lol, probably not a bad idea.

Cool. How many plays were there? I count about 5 or 6 that Miami actually ran.

Yeah, I think that will happen.

Cribbs, McFadden, Brown, Randel El and LT are the ones that come to mind.

Cool. Might shut up some of the people whining that this will be cheese.

Not really similar at all lol. Maybe similar to what Florida do with Tebow.
