Had a big problem with the coaches comments. It was almost as if it was tied into the playcalling by the CPU. When the Bengals get down in the Red Zone after all the Benson runs, the Coach makes a comment about a sack. Maybe I'm getting it backwards, but don't those comments come up before the playcall and help you decide what to call? There was nothing (down and distance, previous calls) that said "pass." I could have bought a play action comment, but about a sack? Seemed really artificial, especially because the CPU called a pass play. Hope that could be tuned, because it seems more like a cheat to help guys who don't really understand football to be able to compete. The coach is supposed to stick to fundimental football strategy. He should've said to go for the run and watch for play-action.

Check the Ocho Cinco catch at around 6:00 (2nd qtr.), so sweet!

Yeah Steve that was EPI... er I mean a great catch...
So glad I can look past all the little annoyances because I'm as excited for this Madden as I have ever been for a Madden game. I thank God every day I can enjoy the game for what it is and not constantly look for any bad to offset the good. Couldn't imaging living life that way.

Why did they scrap the halftime show? I know it needed some work, but damn, instead of trying to improve it, they just trash it, wtf.

It is amazing how instead of making it better they decide to completely scrap it from ever making the game.

I will never understand why this Madden design team does what it does but hey there is always next year.

The ref running basically fast as the players makes me laugh.

With that out of the way, glad to nice Palmer looks like himself out there. Last year his face looked FUBAR haha.

Finally got to watch the entire game:

Good: CPU Run game as well as clock management and game management at the end of the half/game. Very nice to see both.

Concern: Passing in the flats seems too easy once again. It bothered me that the cpu didn't pick up on his tendancy to dump the ball in the flats.

Bad: Power outage not allowing us to see the new OT rules in action.

Well I bet that EA forgot to program any OT rules in... thus they sent in an operative to watch the games and when we had one go to OT..the executive order was made to blow the transformers....

They are currently scrambling to get it fixed and will be a launch day patch.

It's blatantly obvious buy the EA lovers will try and block the facts from getting out.

How did Palmer get from the locker room to the field so fast?

best sideline catch animation i've ever seen in any football game...ever! just sick!!!

Really?? Have you played All-Pro 2k8? They have great sideline and back of the endzone/sideline touchdown catches.

Who blasphemed the Dolphin uniform like that? How dare you.

Great game, a shame you couldn't finish it.

The ability to combo the uniforms in any way is the THE best part of the game IMO.



As for the gameplay...

I think slight/great improvements are relative. Personally, I'm looking for them to fix the football fundamentals of the game. They haven't. Yeah, the Ocho Cinco catch looked cool. And there were a few other things. But they didn't add/fix any football essentials IMO. Basics, like gap assignments, contain assignments, DB alignment, upfield pass rush, fixing the defensive play calling system, realistic footwork, engaged player mobility, real gang tackling, better pass blocking, effort & aggression, route based passing... I could go on... for quite a while.

Even some that call themselves sim are not looking for what I would consider sim football, so they may be more satisfied with what's being shown. I just wish folks could state their opnion without berating those that don't agree. Understand that everyone has a different set of expectations and a different concept of sim. What's nit picking to one can be a big deal to another. I think it's a mixture of knowledge & preferences.

What's wrong with the throwing animations? I think they look good. Most of the QB's have their real throwing motion in the game.
