This would be ok if EA's track record were better when releasing games with poor frame-rates : They were happy to release every NCAA football game after NCAA 2005 on the Xbox with frame-rate issues.

So yeah. I'm worried as hell that Madden 10 is gonna be screwed on the PS3. Either that they'll chop it to 30fps or it'll struggle and sputter and they'll say "We can't see any problem. Try changing the camera angle to classic view"...Remember the summer of 2004?

There wasn't a problem last year, I don't see why there would be this year...

Because they've added 7 referees and a crap load of animated peripherals and accessories. So what probably was fine tuned to run on the PS3 last year will be a very different set of events this year. No-one worried that we've seen no gameplay vids with refs on the field running on either system yet?

Chilllll.

Most games have frame rate problems before they reach beta...

And yes, these authentic styles trickle down to the kickers as well.

Anyone mentioned this yet?
I think its cool but i dunno how many different kick styles there can be

I have a problem with 'tv-style' presentation. I get the feeling after each play (at play calling screen) we're still going to see a camera positioned right next to the huddle, on the field, looking in on the players... what I'd rather see is a camera positioned in the stands (tv style), zoomed in, looking into the huddle.
