Maybe not excited, but what about appreciative? Happy? Glad? Relieved?

Even though I think the models are a lot better than€ last year, even if all thats done is the jersey's are tighter, doesn't that make the model look just slightly better?

Ok, this question I have no idea how to answer or exactly what type of answer you are looking for or what expectations you have of snow.

Wonderful!! WooooWhoooooo! Now back to real life. Per my post in another thread (below), yes the player models have changed and the atmosphere, but the bottom-like gameplay seems to have not changed. Read below

Cosmetic wise the game looks fantastic!! The player models, field, lighting, are awesome. But, my concerns are player animation, movement, such as the QB animation (will everyone throw the same, will there be variances in throws) and RB animation (Will my man Marion Barber run like Barber? Will LT run like Lt).

This is the effort EA needs to make in order to make this game complete. Add signature player styles to the skilled positions. I need not to see everyone run the same and do the same thing like robots. Sorry to reference the other game, but that's what makes NBA 2K8 and made NFL 2K5 special!! The games have personality and you barely see the same redundant gameplay.

"seems" is the key word here. Its too early to tell how much of an improvement if any the gameplay has made.

Lets take NCAA for example. The early videos and clips suggested that it was much of the same as last year. Now, we've seen a guy at IGN(who's terrible) play an entire game, albeit 5 minute quarters and have noticed a huge difference between this gameplay video vs the early videos/clips that we saw.

Time of day was clearly 2 different times of day and different views......
Grass looks great.
Player models; if the grass wasnt different in the background I couldnt have told them apart.

Exactly, well put CB. I, for one, am very optimistic about Madden though.

Madden 09 is looking fantastic! Best football game I've seen.... this might be the game to top NFL 2K5! I'm pumped for Madden this year!
