Re: Can we have referees of different ethnicities?

I think it'd be cool to have several different refs and have them rotate through positions, so week 1 maybe a white guy is the head ref, then next week a black guy, then next a white guy with a groovy 'stache, then the next...well, you get the point...that way we have different ethnicities (within reason, I don't see too many Asian-American referees) and not always Hochuli givin out the explanations...

On the topic of having the refs call games differently, I don't really like this idea so much. I mean, I can't control whether my linemen hold or jump offsides, so why would I put something that affects the outcome of drives and the game so much out of my control? You'd have people clamoring because they lost an online game because of a bad call...yes bad calls are in the real game, because many refs seem incompetent (looking at you Hochuli)...just because THAT is what I see on sundays, I don't necessarily want to see it in Madden...

edit: Even then, the Hochuli botch job was on a Monday night game, wasn't it? So I didn't see it on Sunday...so it shouldn't be in madden.

I think they should actually put in some of the real life head refs.

Now that would add realism. They could even put in their voices to call out the penalties and render their faces of course.

That guy looks like he could play linebacker!
He is the one and only ref in Madden 09....

Re: Can we have referees of different ethnicities?

I think refs just being on the field is good enough for me this year (seeing as how I've been asking for a couple years now). Ethnicity isn't as big as them actually being on the field, but as Ian said they're in the game so it'll be a nice little detail.
