I'm all for better presentation, more gripping animations on defense and offense and a better balance of passing on both sides of the ball, but when will EA break away from their regular player/team stats? I'd rather they take out some of the extensive stats and replace them with ones that will actually physically change the player/team/gameplay.
I'm waiting for the day when we get a football game that involves realistic turn-the-tide momentum. I'm tired of playing games where the cpu tries to "will" its team by completing insane passes and unstoppable runs. If you have a team shutdown, there's no reason for this.
I think they should also transfer the drills in madden 09 and add more specific ones for college. Execution to offset penalties in a game, down-field blocking. These guys are tuning their skill every week in practice why can't we do the same? Sorry for the rant, but it is my first post.
