I guess I'm in the minority here in that I didn't expect too many features to be in the game in the first place, seeing as they had to basically remake the entire game, and I'm pleased with the game as a whole, because I realize that it's not supposed to be the final product.

Anyway, instead of all the bashing, what are some things you actually liked about the game, that you would like to see back in '07?

Preferrably specific, lesser-known things, instead of things like the graphics, animations, sound, etc.

There was a lot I liked about the game, but these are of the specific, lesser-known type.

I really liked the "run/pass commit" thing--flick the right stick up or down to commit to either.

I liked the ability to manually stack the line in pre-snap defense.

I loved the menus. Very clean and easy to read, and organized. Also the "quick stats" thing in the pause menu.

I liked the general cleanliness and professional feel of the game. Previous Maddens were too in-your-face and cluttered.

I liked the individual QB voices--really makes you feel like you're "in the game."

Same with the camera, and the shots of the coaches on the sidelines. Achieved the same effect.

I loved the play-calling system. This is a definite keeper.

I liked what happens when a player gets injured. Although I do miss the ambulance running the guy over from Madden 99.

I liked the fact flys and corners actually work now.

I liked how the pre-snap process on both sides was more or less done with the A and B buttons, in more of a classic menu style, as opposed to the triggers & right stick thing.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting right now, this is off the top of my head.
