It definitely is a step up from NCAA 08, a game that we all deserve a refund on. I get douche chills even thinking back about the piss poor quality of last years Madden and NCAA.

My issue, as you touch on also, is the regression in quality, both as far as gameplay goes, and as far as being bug and glitch free goes. EA had dev kits for the 360 in late 2004, so they have had nearly 4 years to work on that console. For the PS3, it's nearly 3 years. Why, with the resources that company has, can they not completely revolutionize video game football? The reason? Money. Why spend money to REALLY put out a kick *** series of games, when you can slap a gimmick feature and roster update onto a game, and make money on it hand over fist?

This is why the governing bodies of pro and amateur sports need to cease giving out exclusivity contracts and they need to start paying attention to the state of their product in the digital arena.
