Networks don't often show the fly over as part of the broadcast unless it's a really big game.

    Perfect!
    Because I can!

      Re: BONUS Madden 10 blog!

      I guess I wasn't in the minority. As I read past the 2nd and 3rd pages more people started pointing out my feelings too.

      I remember being a kid and hearing stuff like "did you get to such and such point in a game cause this happened" and then I had to get there to see it myself. I was almost hoping you didn't post a shot of it cause I wanted it to be fresh when I saw it ha ha. I am glad I saw it though, and glad there was no video. Nice work EA.

          Agreed. This is something special and awesome. It's something that should not be seen at every game introduction. The national anthem is sung/played at every game, but do we see that on TV for a middle of the year regular season game? Player introductions/team introductions are hardly shown either.

          Keep it to the late January/February games please.

            I think this is the best approach. If they are flying over for most games they'll lose what they were intended for. Go with your gut man! Stick to this.

                  I thought all teams did fly overs? I got screwed with a stealth bomber at a Jags game last year. it looked cool but not hearing the roar of the jets fly by was something i missed and always look forward to during a game

                      Wow. This just keeps getting better.

                      I think the right idea is to keep it special. The broadcast mentality is the way to go. Although there may be flyovers practically every game at some sites, Networks don't show that every game. They reserve it for the big games and that's what should be done in Madden considering that the goal is to replicate an NFL Broadcast.

                        Yea, most teams do have them, but you dont see that on TV. They are going for a broadcast feel and having the jets fly over every game or a handfull of games defeats that purpose. On TV you'll see the full pre game presentation, with fly overs only a few times a year, the Playoffs and Superbowl included.

                        The fly overs need to be included during the home opener, playoffs and Superbowl and thats about it. Maybe a few big time Monday Night games but thats about it. I think this will be the direction Ian and Co take and i think thats the right one.

                              Another thing that i would like to see and you probably have thought of it is players coming out of the tunnel.
