Improved and updated aren't synonyms. EA made the presentation better, but it's not up to the standards of the other sports titles of today, so it's not up to date. That's was updating is. It's the process of bringing something up to date. When that process is finished, then it's updated.

If there was competition, the presentation ( as well as other elements) would be much further along than it is currently.

Game was $20 dollars, and was the most impressive game I've played from a presentation stand-point, it's almost become mythic in the sense younger gamers can't appreciate good presentation because they never experienced something as deep as 2K5's. I 100% agree with this. The detail and presentation was and still is unrivaled to this day. I remember (to my astonishment) after a penalty I could do a replay and actually see the penalty that was committed be it a facemask, clipping, or holding call. But back on topic I really am looking forward to this years madden I believe it will be the best madden to date.

I remember in 2K5 that the game would automatically sometimes do a instant replay of the penalty that took place. Its small stuff like that that Madden has to add to the feel of realism and presentation in there football game. I will admit the presentation in the Madden demo is good, and it seems to be headed in the right direction, but for Madden13, there can't be anymore excuses of the presentation not being upto par or better than NFL2K5, NBA2K11, MLB The Show.

Disagree.

"Very fast" feels more like Mario Bros. than football.

The weakest part of the game has to be either the o-line d-line interaction, or the lack of animations period. Not enough catching animations, everybody has the same run animations. Animations are still a bit stiff and robotic. QB play action animations are terrible. Line interaction is pretty much a stand still. And for some reason the defender always seems to toss the blocker to the side as soon as the ball carrier is coming up to pass the block. These are my weakest parts of the game would also include lack of footplanting.

Madden will never be 2k and 2k will never be Madden.

We are talking about Madden, and where it could be improved. Try and keep up.
