I have some concern that people who are quicker on the stick could do more pre-snap adjustments in the allotted time, which might lead to some issues, but in general, it should be...

Oh, yeah. Brian Ekberg and I are buds. We sat right next to each other and had the same build.

I liked the blimp cam a lot, and I also enjoyed the "coach cam", where you just sit behind the coach's shoulder on the sideline - it's chaotic and distant, but it really immerses you in the coach's world.
There's a broadcast angle that's nice, and the standard behind-the-offense Madden view is tried-and-true.

There weren't any commentators. I'm not sure if they intend to add them or not, but I like the "feel" without them.

Cool, well i'm sold on this baby. I was reading impressions from another site and one guy said he barely got through the preseason stuff before the actual games!

There was also a point made that this is the kinda game where play scripting for the first ten plays should be implemented. I doubt that'd be something for this year but it's definetely do-able I think.

Here is a question I have. I was thinking about it while watching some old game film. You know as the game is being played on offense and defense they can keep track of what is going on and make adjustments to it. For instance, you'll see the QB with photos looking over alignments and also see what happened durning the play. Defenders get the same thing, they'll get a photo where they can see the offensive formation and how they are attacking from it. Do you know if there will be anything that tracks this type stuff.

There will not be - but the idea of adding "black and whites" to the mix in any possible sequel was discussed.

Do you have to worry about the meida or fans getting on your back and second guessing your decisions? Can you be fired and or leave one head coaching job for another?
