Tomorrows Blog?

[Golden28]

So what do you think will be in tomorrow's blog?

Ian has already mentioned that he might have something to say about refs... "Refs are a different story - I actually think you'll hear more about them soon - maybe even next week"

But, I wonder what the primary focus will be this week?

I actually like Mondays now all because of Ian!

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

I'm hoping we hear info about better OL/DL and/or improvements to the running game.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

It would be great to here "Referees are confirmed!!", but I don't imagine we'll get that tomorrow.

I don't have any idea what else he'll touch on, but I have to think the blog will be relatively short. It seems those guys are in crunch time development wise, and Ian has to bust his @$$ just to make sure we get a blog on time.

So, I expect a marginal improvement with maybe a nugget in there about refs. I definitely would not expect OL/DL info this early (though information on that would be comforting considering the early NCAA screens )

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

If we see more gameplay news I hope it will show the defense a little more love. I don't expect to see OL/DL yet but it would be awesome if we did.

I kinda hope we see something presentation/franchise related now.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

Our plans for this coming week are still in flux. There is an excellent chance that there will NOT be a blog on Monday, 3/23.

There will be a blog this week but it will likely supplement what we hope is the first Madden screenshot released. Here's the very rough plan, just to keep you all in the loop.

- One day this week (we hope Monday), a Madden screenshot will be released. Likely on Peter's blog.
- Several days later, we'll have another blog that details some of the features in that screenshot.

This will be a graphics blog. No blog on OL/DL interaction as speculated earlier in this thread.

Stay tuned!

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

Nice. If I remember correctly Michael said he sent out a screen with at least 6 new features shown into to the team. I hope that's what Peter puts in the blog.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

So this must be the screenshot that was talked about many moons ago that at the time was remarked upon as showcasing quite a few new features. (Can't remember who said it on the EA team or find the thread unfortunately)

Anticipation levels upped again.

Edit: Thanks Hotlanta, couldn't remember, but yes of course, it was Michael

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

^Yep. IIRC, Donny said the screenshot alone will show 6 new features to this gen of madden games so maybe we will see refs in the picture since Ian in another thread hinted that there might be an announcement on refs this week.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

Found it.

Here's the thread where Michael speaks about the screenshot.

6 new features! Let's start speculating.

I think it'll be a shot of a pass.

For starters I'm going to go with...

Refs and chain gang and procedural awareness in action as players actively look for the ball.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

Peter is corporate...dont plan on the screenshot on Monday...Maybe Wednesday if hes not too busy golfing.

Re: Tomorrows Blog?

Screenshot will have 6 feature's hmmmmmm. Its actually tough to think of 6 off that could be considered in a screen shot. But I'll give it a try.

1) Ref's (easy one)
2) Chain gang (easy one)
3)Handtowels maybe ?
4)dynamic lighting ?
5)pile ups ?
6)dynamic attendence ?
