agreed. Why mascot games? I mean, who really plays them?

So it's not really a new feature anyway for next-gen. No need to jump my *** here boys as I know most of these "features" are old-gen standard. Honestly if 09 doesn't give big backs the ability to truck better or just be a short yardage specialist type back I guess I really don't need it. I would like the total control over my offense with formation subs. But I can get by now with the audibles I guess. Bottom line I WANT the Formation subs but if it isn't in then I'll be ok with audibles.

I think you're confusing formation audibles with personnel packages.

If it's like last-gen, formation audibles are a set of 4 preset quick audibles per formation (in addition to the 5 customizable ones we've come to expect). On offense each formation will have a preset run play, short pass, long pass, and playaction pass. On defense each formation will have a cover 2, cover 2 man, cover 3 and blitz. The specific plays will vary from team to team (i.e. ND's I-formation run audible may be different than USC's).

Hopefully you'll be able to actually set those formation audibles up to your own liking instead of having to use the presets. That would be sick, and would probably give enough ground to run a true no huddle spread offense. How much fun would that be? A LOT.

08 was atrocious. One of the worst football games I ever played. Poor QB play coupled with the worst running animations I have ever seen in a football game resulted in an unplayable game.
