Just a guess but, I don't think it's a glitch. I think the mascot was mocking the player. He seemed like he was falling over or something.

same here. I am not convinced that its a glitch, but rather a celebration.

Trailers are nice but until you actually get your hands on it or see an extended gameplay video, you really can't tell much either way. I liked what I saw although I did notice the spin forward and backwards move which seemed to defy physics. I do want the game to be fun and if its a little on the arcade side, fine by me. I want more break neck moves and wide open gameplay like the PS2 had. As long as its balanced in the run vs. the pass and the cpu gives me a challenge, I'm sure I'll like it.

I agree with what Chris from MM said. Fun is the most important factor and I have a good feeling about '09. I think it will be really good although I doubt it will be perfect. As long as the cpu QB AI is fixed, I should be pretty happy. If you hated '08, I don't know how '09 will make you happy. But many of us liked '08 or with some fixes to a couple key areas, many more will be really happy with '09.

Wow.,..that looks...dare I say...really good!

Was that a personal foul penalty I saw? :0

co-sign on jukes. I think in order to be as realistic as possible you have to reduce control just a little so you are not seeing sequences like that too often. Some people don't like being held hostage to an extent to animations but for the visualization of reality you must relenquish some imo.

Trailer looks good though.

I couldn't care less about most of it, but the online dynasty may sell the game for me. I really can't believe they put in the interception shot and the mascot games in the trailer D:

Mascot part was included to appeal to the Wii crowd. Solid marketing technique.
