Only thing i didn't like was Hines Ward getting stuck with his man while in motion.

Yeah, it would be nice if Ian would comment on this...

Re: 2 new videos on ign

I'm confused. How is the game tied in overtime and the Eagles need 7 more points to clinch a playoff spot? Once you go into overtime, the team that scores first(a touchdown, safety, field goal, etc) WINS THE GAME! The extra point is not needed because they've already broken the TIE after scoring. If no one scores during overtime then both teams lose. Ex: 2008 Eagles.

I'm talking about playoff tie-breaker scenarios:

http://football.about.com/cs/football101/a/nfl_tiebreakers.htm

1. Head-to-Head
2. Division Record
3. Common Games
4. Conference Record
5. Strength of Victory
6. Strength of Schedule
7. Combined Ranking Among Conference Teams (points scored and points allowed)
8. Combined Ranking Among All Teams (points scored and points allowed)
9. Net Points (common games)
10. Net Points (all games)
11. Net Touchdowns (all games)


Total number of points scored in regular season games CAN be used to determine certain tie-breakers for playoff spots and seeding.

Sure the Eagles may have won THAT ONE GAME by 6 points, but only being allowed to score 6 points in overtime instead of 7 prevents them from securing a playoff-tie breaker.

Had they scored the TD at the end of regulation, they would have been allowed to kick an extra point.

It seems silly to not allow it in overtime, since what would be the point of tying to win at that point? If they are not getting into the playoffs regardless of whether they win overtime at that point, they might as well let the other team win so they can move up a spot in the draft!

By denying the extra point in overtime, the rules remove the incentive to win in that situation.

Man im STILL not feeling the emotion in this game post-play... Where is it? I mean the presentation is better 10X but man where is the emotion? After the whistle everyone turns into zombies.

The refs are the biggest culprits.

Re: 2 new videos on ign

Are their specific throwing motions for different QBs? Big Ben's and Tom Brady's motions sure look like the real thing. Just wondering because I never read anything about that.

I know what you are saying. All the new art work is great looking, but like always, lifeless. The game looks 30x better then last year. I still wonder if it will get stale fast with no emotion. Emotion is one of the best things about watching/playing football.

Yes there are they made a custom throwing animation for 30+ Qbs

As far as I know they've never had to go past Common games in real life.

Re: 2 new videos on ign

So nice to see some overthrown passes.

I was so happy, I almost cried.

Overall the game looks really, really good. I'm really impressed. I can't wait to see the demo tomorrow. I'm so excited.

Re: 2 new videos on ign

Colinsworth sounds amazing in the Colts video that I am watching now. Now lets find a play by play guy who doesnt sound like a computer/robot and were good.

Ditto. The play-by-play guy sounds like a robot.

It's those stiff azz animations - don't flow well. And no one interacts.

Agreed. I can see that Tiburon has put much more effort into the presentation and excitement in this years Madden but it still feels lifeless and faked. It just doesn't flow well and a lot of it looks and sounds out of place. Definitely improved, but they need to get their presentation to the same level as their graphics. From watching the videos, I give the graphics a 9.5 and atmosphere/presentation a 6.
