Why should I have even the smallest amount of optimism regarding this franchise ? Madden 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 & 11 all were sub-par. Now why should my outlook be optimistic when the previous products that EA released weren't up to snuff. At this point EA has to show me, so until they're ready to release a video with enough information to make me think otherwise, I'm going to continue to have, and express, my doubts about M12.

And it's better to pop the balloons out now then in August when everyone has had their hopes for months only to be let down, again.

Well, I think we over hyped the information they gave us. But, how was that reassuring?

I hope the custom playbooks are not limited. I want to have as many plays in as the regular playbooks...

Sub par to you. Not everyone feels the way you do.

Pulling this way off-topic.

Back on topic, I like what I see so far and will be better to judge in the upcoming months.

That looked like a list of tendencies for his style of play. This could be huge -surprise onside kicks -improved player/staff models on the sidelines -spectator mode for online, or possibly even a screen to show scores from around the league? -Cheerleaders are finally in

Don't think you've missed anything. Though my reading of the Ray Rice thing is that it is a fire/snowflake graphic to represent that a player is on a hot/cold streak.

Just as you are overly optimistic, at least half of the Madden community at this point will be pessimistic no matter what the videos show or EA blogs about. This forum is here for people to constructively post their thoughts on Madden. Just because a persons thoughts are honest and not cheering Madden on doesn't mean that their wrong or they shouldn't post them.

A lot of people do feel the way I do; a lot of people are clamoring for the same things that I have been clamoring for.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store also, but my opinion regarding Madden isn't going to change until Tiburon and EA change it for me.

I did say I need to follow my own advice.

Plus, I never said I was overly optimistic?

Thank you.
