You're right. There's nothing wrong with it, and kudos to EA for finally listening to its customers. (It's frustrating that they ignored us all of these years.)

It's a little amusing, however, that people are getting so excited about this as if it were a new concept.

Like I said: for me it's going to boil down to whether or not there's a franchise mode in the game.

Hmmm. Any chance they are going to add other stat categories? Head Coach had stat categories like thrown at % and completed against %, big hits, missed tackles, etc.

The more stats the better =].

Yeah, they should have at least 10 sacks apeice in 3 or 4 games every time, right. Seeing as they both get like 40 per season that makes a lot of sense... oh wait. On here they actually had 3.5, freeney had 2.5 and mathis had 1. First 3 games last year mathis had 1, freeney had 2, pretty close to 3. In games 7, 8, and 9 for isntance they totaled 0 between them. for them to not have a bunch of sacks over a 3 or 4 game period isn't that astonishing as long as they also have stretches where they do get sacks.

For instance mathis had 3 straight games with 2 or 2.5 sacks and one other time where within 2 games he had 4. in the other 8 games he played he totalled 1. freeney was a little more consistant but still had 4 of them in 2 games and had 3 straight without any.

What I am getting at is players shouldn't play the same every game. they need to have hot and cold streaks

And while half sacks and assists are cool, Id rather see more accurate stats for position. Im sick of seeing 4-3 LBS and 3-4 DEs with 12+ sacks every year. 3-4 OLBs and 4-3 DEs should more often than not have the bulk of the sacks. Sorry to veer off topic, but you get the point.

yes your right that needs to be fixed when i play franchise with my cowboys sometimes i switch to the 4-3 and demarcus ware gets a ton more sacks when i do that than he does in the regular 3-4 that ends up being the main reason why i switch

the most important detail to me is the fact that they are listening, if not to everything and least some. no its not a huge deal to have assists and half sacks, the bigger deal is that ian & co. are listening. my concern is that, some not all, are asking for things, having them implement the request and then complain about it(human nature i guess). after a while getting what you ask for and still not being satisfied, can cause us not to be heard again. I see the kinda effort we've never seen before, to help make it feel more like OUR game. i know some want to see bigger things and feautures but for the millionth time nothing big this early. granted, i dont expect everything to be in this time, but to have the interaction is incredible(bill gates hasnt asked me anything). i love that we have assists and halfs, thank you and do what you can my friend.

Yea, I'm hoping they're still foolin around with the menu/stats/etc.

Though I'm happy this is finally in the game, I don't think we should be going nuts. Half sacks have been in the NFL for around 25 years, and it's finally in the game.
