[jeffglisson]

It looks like Phil Frazier, Producer of Madden 09, is taking some questions over at the EA Forums.

"Thanks to my friends in marketing and PR, it looks like you all have had some new info to chew on for almost a week now. I was incredibly busy up in NY for the Favre announcement and have been catching up here at work ever since. I just started catching up on reading the boards and will get around to some more questions by Thursday evening. In the meantime, please use this thread to start asking questions about some of our more new content. I'd love to do my best to answer questions specifically about: Broadcast Presentation Graphics Online Leagues Etc... I'm not saying that I won't get around to the questions in the introduction thread but I want to talk about the new stuff in the product as well. Some new info... - I'm 95% confident we'll get weather into online games via unranked matches. - We just added camera flashes in the crowd. - We're not 100% happy with the gameplay video that was released along with the IGN piece yesterday. New videos incoming..."

1. Cool little feature with the camera flashes...
2. I'm glad they aren't pleased with the video..

- We just added camera flashes in the crowd.

WHOA!

Glad to see he's taking questions though. I'll be posting some over there in a minute.

WOW. Good to hear they weren't happy with the IGN vid. Certainly no one else was. Good to see some community interaction. And with NCAA's producer admitting the INT glitch and letting us know its gone, to me thats a big step for EA. Startin to come together pepper, startin to come together.

Co-sign.

Look what producer interaction has done for the Show series.

Remember they said that in 06 about the McNabb CGI. They said the actual game was better when in fact it couldn't hold the released CGI's jock strap.

I was just about to ask about camera flashes!

It's about time they put those in the game...
