Why is the QB not putting the ball out in front?

so no interceptions are a result of a bad pass? interesting.

Now I hope that later in the season, the late games end at night, similar to THE SHOW!!... Stay tuned... ben voodoo

i just hope that the game is good enough that i don't want to throw a controller through a wall within the first five minutes of playing it. that, to me, would be a massive improvement over the last few games.

"Worked with CBS on game days"

I guess that explains the writing on the dry-erase board.

Love what I saw @ the 3:00 min mark. The Kansas City player dives and the Denver player managed to make realistic contact.

...Yawn...

But seriously, why all this emphasis on broadcast presentation, when most gamers will simply hit the "A" button to skip it all?

It's good to have options, no matter how you slice it up.

Can only speak for myself, but I only skip for 3 reasons:

-EA has too many cut scenes out of context
-Their cut scenes have been repetative & bland
-I like real time "cut scenes" like NBA 2K uses

Fix those and I wouldn't skip them. I don't skip anything in NBA 2K. Hopefully all the emphasis on broadcast presentation addresses these.

Madden has never been great at realistic trajectories or being able to drop a pass over an lb and it seems to have only gotten worse in NCAA 11. I also don't like some of the dive animations being used, the players look really stiff and just odd in them.

When the news first dropped on April 22nd, I was optimistic for Madden. After rewatching the videos and seeing this one, my optimism for these gameplay improvements has faded again.

I do like the presentation improvements tho.
