If you look at previous history, especially posts from Community day people and other sports sites that get pre-release info ( like Pastapadre etc on Madden Nation ), what they play and things that are supposedly fixed seem to never make it into the "release build". If this year is any different, then awesome. Previous history dictates otherwise.

They DO tune after we leave, even when it's the last time we go for the cycle. I'm trying to be real careful to only talk about things that I could see concretely, but I can't control everything.

Shaun or David,

Can you speak to the no huddle or the accelerated clock? Have either had any changes to them in this year's game or is it the same as last year? Is the no huddle all hurry up? Thanks.

Remember the last 2 years in a row it was " This was fixed in the build we played, we dont know what happened" or, "this was working better when we played it, but now its broken on release". Every year its the same song and dance, dont know why anyone expects anything different. Take the impressions you hear with a grain of salt.

This is my first go around and TSO over the past year has started representing my man.

I cannot help what changes from now to then. These are just MY personal impressions and no doubt yours can differ from mine or anyone else's...so what are we to do, you know? Rent the game, play the demo only....idk what to tell you.

I agree...take the impressions with a grain a salt...shoot use a cup for all I care. All I know is I tried my best to be completely honest with what I saw. And I really could care less if you agree or not...and I'm not trying to be rude...but what is the worth in that? It's just an opinion.

I had a team intermittently no huddle against me.

Most of my questions were answered......Impressive, considering I did ask over 20 questions. But straight honest, no BS, no sugar coating telling it how it is answers I can respect.

Ok, just for complete clarification, that question was referring to on the field, when you press the right trigger? before the snap to pan out to see more of the field. The offense players names or numbers will be displayed under them but not the defenses.

So I can pan out and identify where my star receiver is lined up in the formation by name or number but not specific defenders because their name or numbers are not shown.

Just wanted to make sure you understood exactly what was being asked because I constantly ask about this right here too http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2043323995 and didn't want that confused with Spliff's question.

Thanks...it took me a bit to get through them but I wouldn't leave you hanging.

I remember the feeling when you really hoped you could get an answer and it seemed like no one responded or cared.

So I try to take that with me when answering ppl's questions. I still might miss some but I try my best.

I had ncaa 99 on the PC back in the day and I always thought in ten + years this game was going to be off the charts. The problem is other genres of next gen games have far surpassed sports gaming steps in technology. One question I had for you is was there a option for player lock on defense?

Where you can only be that guy or you can lock players to offensive players?
