I hope they're not using the same play calling screen from last year. It looks like they're using the same score overlay from last year. Come on EA just use TV style broacasting & spice things up a bit. Madden can't possibly let NCAA have better presentation than them can they? Are we at least gonna get a Monday Night Football presentation in franchise mode?

I have actually been wondering if anyone has complained about game lengths, myself, but I'm not really a big onliner so, eh. I play on 7min qtrs against the CPU but 5 min when playing friends online or at my house. Time doesn't bother me. IT'S FOOTBALL!! lol

Note quite true, there are players asking for in game saves. No word on that though. Seems like there's a disconnect between product management and the consumer, even with devs on the forums.

What the hell was going on with Colston once the ball was snapped? Where are the improved physics and locomotion?

--While I understand that EA is trying to cater to the casual fan through a simpler, quicker experience, I just don't think that slogan is great for marketing. Is the casual fan now gonna play Madden because they told him that it's faster and simpler? Not really sure.

When the casual fan picks up Madden, they may want it to be simpler and quicker, but I don't think telling them is going to make them play.

I just find it a bit disturbing that the marketing team at EA chose simpler and faster as the most important slogans for the year.

--The Madden and NCAA videos we've seen are showing way too many spin moves. How many times do we actually see spins in real life. I'd rather just see some really nice, smooth cuts from the dual control system.

--On the bright side, I think this gameplan feature will be pretty cool, especially if we can create and edit our own gameplans--hopefully with create a playbook too.

--The Sideline catch was nice

--OL/DL looked pretty much the same. The Colts' DEs ran right into the OTs. Top DEs like Freeney may be a non-factor again this year.

Seriously! I mean come on... I'm not one to complain but they said it would account for EVERYONE on the field. So far it only looks like it applies to ball carriers. Even the way drew brees back peddled out of the pocket like that?!

Color it however you want,but when showing off "features" it also calls for gamplay to show said "features".
I don't care about these things,I know what I want to see,and I did NOT see it,so therefore for me it's a no buy.

When the fundamentals can't even be implemented correctly,all these "fluff features" are absolutely worthless to me. Every year is the same thing,and I absolutely refuse to go down this "road" again.
