And don't get me wrong, I think it will be cool and will add significantly to the experience from an immersion perspective. I'm just skeptical about the extent to which people think it will alter the gameplay as we know it.

As I already said earlier....

"Obviously the devs will need to change/remove/add animations to make this work properly and I have my doubts about how well this will be done."

For example, it has already been confirmed that the spin catch has been removed.

Stop trying to combine procedural awareness with the AI changes needed to make it work. They are separate efforts that need to work together. The main reason us NCAA gamers should be concerned is that the NCAA dev cycle ends earlier than Madden's and we might not get a fully functional implementation.

NCAA seems so 2nd rate to madden this year. Maybe a little flip-flop please?

Only good thing is that they share the same gameplay team and engine.... and there's still Online Dynasty.

Still it's a joke how EA has bastardized NCAA while giving all attention to Madden. NCAA comes out over a month before Madden and yet their staff still can't talk about their game? Ridiculous.

I think it has to do with the fact that a lot more attention has been put into EA into Madden this year than previous ones.

Madden 09 was the first real game of Madden on next gen. Madden 06-08 were terrible from not only a playability perspective but also from a design point of view. I still can't believe they tried to justify the radio announcer as a cool presentation tool. Between 08 and 09 they had a new team do the development. Madden 10 should be the jump into what gamers expected - so that's probably why you'll hear more about it this year.

The NCAA series - except for the 07 game - were decent. Not perfect. But NCAA 08 and 09 were fun playable games. Thus, I would expect NCAA to improve incrementally vs revolutionary.

Not sure what we mean. We are keeping announcements parallel between both games. Did Madden announce a second thing this weekend? I might have missed it.

Yes,I think is was player ratings and putting in real players counter parts.This new thing with the ratings should be cool because now we would have to pick right down to a tee in the draft...
