Aggies7 mentions about MLB The Show having real umpire crews with different strike zones in this thread http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-referees.html and with this news coming out today, it got me to wondering. Kolbe from The Show is on the Madden team now so it wouldn't seem like a stretch that the addition of real NFL refs and a reported focus on real NFL penalties, are signs of a similar ref/crew personality system being added to M25.

Could this be a fix or at least a solid foundation to fix, the issue with penalties like DPI and OPI not being represented well, ever, in next gen Madden?[/quote]
