Yeap, came in to post this same exact list. I'm pretty sure the roles have changed somewhat in how there earned or lost, but tht list should def. give a basic idea

Franchise is looking really good right now, I really like the fact now that it seems rookie QB's can be developed without having to play them right away. Going to be fun playing through NCAA Dynasty and picking up a QB you recruited and took your program to a new level, then being able to develop him and continue his legacy!

The way I see it, a underachiever would be someone like Jamarcus Russel who after year 3 is still like a 70 something overall and a overachiever is someone who was drafted in the later rounds that has a good overall rating.

when i first saw the article,I felt excited. But then I read comments,and my excitement faded quickly. I had to agree with the guys. These features were in past Maddens...taken away,and now they're back. So I'm not gonna get hype,until i see some NEW features,innovative features...so I'll wait till the May 16th blog to see if there's something NEW...

Having played every Madden since M01 on the PS2, I wasn't aware that dynamic player ratings and hot-cold streaks were in any previous Madden game. Because they weren't.

Not that I understand the line of thinking of "the feature was there in a previous Madden so it doesn't count" in the first place, but regardless.

I feel like any move Madden makes in a productive direction for us as gamers and football fans to enjoy is a plus. Last years franchise was terrible. so im just happy i get to play franchise and actually have fun again and not think about how i wasted my money

no one is asking you to understand,i'm sure people agree with you,just like i'm sure there are people who will agree with me.you have your opinion,I have mine.
Player roles are been there-seen that.I'm not gonna be excited just cause they are back when they should have been in the game already...nor will I get excited about hot/cold streaks till I see that they properly work like advertised.

When I see something new like storylines,a functioning highlight show,or anything else people have had on their wishlist thats never been in the game,then i'll get excited...that's why i'm waiting till May 16th...hoping to see something NEW,not something from the past that should have already been in the game...

Madden 12 sounds like a better looking 07 to me. The info from today was all from madden 07 ps2.

Its nothing wrong with that, 07 was 10x better then what we have now IMO.

There are spaces after punctuation. Not trying to be a douche, but it would be easier to read your posts.
