I really liked that feature...it brings an extra sense of realism to the game, IMO. Try watchins San Diego State games all Fall and then come back and tell me there is no pre-play confusion in college football.

Also, I like the animations of WR trying to get the play right, it makes it feel like there are actual mistake-prone humans playing and not just CPU and human controlled figurines on a screen.

On another note, will the custom soundtrack feature be available for the PS3?

Yeah, that was a sick feature.

I played online against someone and recovered a fumble for a TD and I LOVED watching that play on the big screen ev'time I booted up the game.

Yeah, people are getting excited about some stuff that should have been standard a long time ago. Really sad.

Oh well, better late than never. I still feel damn good that I held out purchasing 08.

I'm still pissed about no 1-AA teams. I'm not a huge 1-AA fan, but we had them in old-gen YEARS ago.

Given how the presentation has stayed stagnant for the last, oh 8 or so years, a presentation overhaul is needed.

Surprising to see what declining sales do: 2.89 million sales of 07 to 1.62 million of 08 in VGChartz. Money talks and it looks like EA finally had a reason to "innovate" (using the term loosely).

Ha, yeah...you know how it is. SDSU Class of '99 in the house! I still have my SDSU mouse pad right here. LOL.

On Spectre's comment, I had no idea NCAA sales fell like that. Seems like it "payed off" for us gamers...no pun intended. LOL!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa...

EA actually listed online roster sharing for THIS game???

Something smells.

Can you say...each download cost $3.99?

Well...as a former D1-A college WR...I never had that problem and I've played in places like the Carrier Dome (Syracuse)...The Swamp (Florida) etc...WR's get occasionally crossed up but nothing like what happens in Madden
