I guess my main reason to be excited is...Madden '09' looks like a much improved game from '08'.

I would rather they add a working locker feature this year. Since they already have the groundwork from that established. Yes it is not pretty but if functioning it does allow for an online franchise. You just don't have a pretty interface to look at the stats and interact with members. But everyone can download the franchise file to view stats and progression on their own. Then they could have had a portion of this development cycle and ALL of next development cycle to develop a fully functional online franchise feature in which they house the data and have an online interface for the seperate franchises. So I feel the time they spent on the online league is kind of a waste because the framework is faulty to begin with. I am being negative on the one feature (or lack thereof) not the entire product. So I hardly call that being entirely negative. I just feel that the NCAA guys had the right approach and the Madden guys did not.

they did the best they could with they the time they had. phil already said that they were focused more on trying to make online games as lag free as possible.

so unless u were working alongside the people that were doing the online leagues, u dont know what they were dealing with.
