I think it's fair. Some of the comments I've seen when videos come out are just krazy. Some things people notice you would have to watch the video a krazy number of times and some cats have even admitted to slowing the video down and pausing it to catch certain things. IMO that's way to much effort to put into a short video of an unfinished game. I'm not just talking about Madden either.
On the other hand some guys see what they want to see and jump to the negativity. Perfect example is with cats talking about the db missing Mcnabb. It was obviously user controlled and that was the 1st thing people mentioned. Some people already have their mind made up, they just want confirmation. Just doesn't make sense to me.
