*Removed from Madden 10 List Thread* Whats gone?

[excaliber]

Hey Guys,
Got a pre-order on Madden for Midnight tonight, i'm pretty excited about it - so far its getting great reviews!

I cant wait to see all the new stuff, Hell I even got one of my personal requests! 4-Play Offline Co-op back in (I think) from my parody video thread that had Terry Tate roughing up Ian and the Staff.
Plus we get Broadcast Presentation with before, in-game and after game shows, Finally! Awesome

HOWEVER,
Recently saw a few things that made me raise my eyebrows and mutter, why? Why did they need to take things out? If its built up already why remove it?

I was hoping that if you have something that you know was removed from Madden 10, that you could post it here as a one stop shop to see what was removed.

Things I know of so far:
1. Player Training Mini-Games. (weight-lifting, sprinting, etc)
2. No Pre-Game Calender System.
3. No Improving Player stats. (This is what pissed me off the most! I asked for 4-player co-op so me and my crew can play through the season together improving our guys, wtf now!).
4. Weapons Are Gone.

Is Rewind or Backtrack Gone?


Please dont make this a negative thread to bash on the game, I think they've done a great job to add what the community has been wanting for ages. Im just interseted in whats been taken out and why.

5. Ring Builder Removed.

Great IGN's Review says you dont improve from practicing: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1011937p2.html

Then this review says that players still improve in season. http://www.gameshark.com/reviews/331...-10-Review.htm

So im guessing that Players still improve throughout the season, but this year you have no direct control over it. (though if you perform well in the game I assume it will improve, as for doing poorly I have no idea if the player degrades in stats)

I was under the impression that half sacks would be tracked this year, but every stat breakdown I have seen so far has been whole numbers only. Is this in or out this year? Did the say that it would be?

Edit: After a re-read. . .I guess it's kinda the wrong place for this. I thought you were listing things that were promised but not delivered.
