    Great stuff, Ian. It's hard not to be excited for the direction you guys seem to be taking this franchise. It would appear the Madden ship is finally being righted.

        What's most interesting to me is that the "system" before this year was so inefficient and inflexible. Ian doesn't explicitly state this but he hints at it. How can such a huge, well-funded game have such a basic crippling issue? They couldn't even take player helmets off? That just seems wrong to me. It seems lazy to not fix something like that.

        I know they probably won't talk about it, but I would love some details on what was wrong with the system before, and what this team has done to change it. It would be an interesting look into the philosophy of this year's team versus the last few years.

        Anyways, great work as always Mr. Cummings. I hope EA acknowledges the effort you've put into this year and you're rewarded for the hard work.

          Since "every" team with an open stadium does it a few times, I'd say limit it to each team's first home game, home rivalry games, and home playoff games. And of course, the Super Bowl.

            It's all about technology and limitations. Stop worrying about things that happened in previous years. Why should you or anyone else be worried about this anyways? This year is looking great!

              Does this mean that we can Knock peoples Blocks (Helmets) off, just like we could on PS2.

                I'm not worried about what happened in the past...believe me, I'm looking so far forward. I'm more just curious as to why things have been so dramatically changed within a matter of a few months, whereas years before this never happened. Why couldn't the technology change before this year? Why the long wait?

                Is it a philosophy thing? Laziness? A focus on a different demographic? Lack of talent/dedication? A broken "system"?

                I'm just curious and would like to hear some opinions on why things unfolded the way they did. That's probably why I'm a journalism student, because I love asking questions like this.

                  I must get Jared Allen on a team with an open stadium!
                  I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't have a mullet.

                    Dont do flyovers for every open air stadium game during the regular season...keep some special stuff for the playoffs and superbowl.
                    Because I can!

                      If I could choose I would say do it on nightgames and in the playoffs

                          Dolphins had it once this past season when i was there. Idk if they had it any other time. It was against the Ravens in the regular season.

                            Thing is if you watch the video I posted, it happens way more often than this.


                            My thoughts, do it randomly in open stadiums in play now.

                            Do it for half of the home games at open stadiums in franchise, then every playoff and super bowl game.
                            Please take note that most of what I say and post is made in satire.

                              Anyone else? I need to know by like tonight.
                              I know it may be a stretch but would it be possible to have an option in the team selection screen to either turn a fly over 'on' or 'off' for any exhibition game?
