If it is the latter, I don't know how exciting a thread would be that listed 3 things (since you don't count improvements as features).

Do YOU honestly count most of these things as features???? I really hope not, Ian.

I don't have issue with these being listed as IMPROVEMENTS, because that is what they are, and appreciated improvements as well.

I don't understand HOW me saying THAT can be twisted by you and others into meaning I am somehow flaming or bashing Madden....sometimes, you're pretty easily offended, IMO. Just because I don't post all the "Oh, Ian, I love you" posts like some do, does not mean I don't give you credit where credit is due...but I will never give credit for "features" that are simply steps forward is all I am saying.

I'm guessing you missed the thread that got closed that was directed to you personally yesterday.

You should probably reread the bolded part of ians post. The "feature list" is 3 things long, meaning he thi...oh nevermind.

Its all about point of view. The recent discovery on the pass rush isnt a feature however it was a make or break sell point for many on the fence

Wow, that's nice! I've posted that idea in wish list threads on OS for a few years, nice to see it's finally made it into a game.

As far as the "improved commentary" I dont believe it

Every video Ive seen has every single line the same as 09. Havent heard one new line by either dude. Unless there is a vast array of new recordings that have been intentionally hidden......although I doubt that lol

Hopefully they fixed the terrible mistakes in the commentary. Ex:

He is stuffed for a loss! (He gained 9 yards)
Thats his 10th TD of the season! (Its week 2 and he doesnt have 10 tds)
That huge hit knocked the ball loose! (There wasnt even any hit. The reciever dropped the ball)

And as far as challenges they get everything backwards. A player will be called out of bounds on a catch and they review and confirm, yet the commentators talk as if it was called a catch. Its just wierd.

And hearing the same 1 line about how Carson Palmer will be one of the best and win multiple superbowls EVERY SINGLE GAME is incredibly annoying. And talking about his knee injury in 2014 is also insane.
