I'm actually glad they scrapped it. It was crap.

If in the future they are willing to admit when something stinks and kill it, and that means that they'll only put out changes that make the game sustainably better, I'm down with that.

If you're digging yourself a hole, first rule is stop digging. I'd rather see sustainable quality on any front they target than half baked failures they have to undo all the time.

But the next time they try any real recap shows, they need to be good. Real good.

None of these presentation improvements will matter, if EA fails to deliver top not commentary and play by play.

EA is too quiet on the commentary. maybe theyll be delivering more than one broadcast team from the botth. One for NFC games, one for AFC games, and one for Monday night Games.

Just amazing what the Madden/NCAA team is doing this year!! Finally some major major investment from the EA top brass into what should be the biggest game franchise in the world.

Gotta give props to NBA 2k11 and MLB The Show, they were the first to step up gameplay, presentation, depth and authenticty into sports simulation gaming, forcing everyone else to elevate there games.

Us consumers WIN BIG this year (so it looks).

Chase I know you can't release all info because of EA's restrictions. Can you give a yes or no if online franchise has been touched at all? I've seen plenty of mention about 100+ additions to offline franchise mode. I just want to know if online franchise got any love whatsoever.

So EA thinks different camera angles for cut scenes (that most people skip) is going to keep the game fresh ? 700 camera's ? Alot of resources and time huh ? I won't knock it but if other more important areas of the game are still lacking... watch out !! LOL !!!
