Well it is good to know that squidkick is back in this year. It just keeps getting better every week.

Am I crazy, or does NCAA seem better than Madden this year?

[mrMagic91]

You're not. Madden has no fancy presentation, the simpler, quicker and deeper thing seems like its made for people who never played football before. and college is just more exciting overall. They got madden this year. IMO

I suppose. Or maybe they just wanted to go with a team that's won 12 ACC titles over one that's compiled a grand total of 0 since storming into the league. (Yes, yes, you win in the national championship category...I couldn't let that go though.)

Looks like another solid video. I too am eagerly awaiting dynasty details though. That and teambuilder upgrades.

That was one of the coolest aspects of last year's game. Good to see it will still be dynamic this year.

It's really early in the development cycle for Madden relative to NCAA. They're also in that touchy period where they're starting to release features but don't want to do anything too big for fear of stealing NCAA's thunder as EA will want to maximize the sales of both games.

Like I said above, it's early for Madden. If you've seen any of the stuff about game planning in Madden, you should realize that that feature in particular is not for the people who have never played before. Rather, it is for experienced players to be able to put themselves in the position of being a true coordinator. I love that feature. GameFlow is more of a noobish feature, but it will be hard to judge it for sure until the game comes out.

Also, I have a good feeling that Madden will have some very solid presentational elements this year, it's just far too early for them to be revealed.

Lets hope defensive keys isnt pun/pass commit. You can clearly see that is one of the options when a user plays defense.

I think it means run commit is probably gone b/c where else would you pick "key reciever"... im hoping
