Cmon on man, I too want a great football game, but lets not all jump on Ian's you know what because of these little meaningless "improvements", its crazy to think that they will have major impact on gameplay.

If you say so, they are all meaningless, so be it.

Who said I was jumping on Ian? Who's talking major impact?

Again, you will need to practice patience till draft day and beyond to see what impact these
"meaningless improvements" have on game play. Why bother even coming in between now and draft day if you feel they are meaningless improvements?

And we all know this won't happen until draft day till release.(Well, most of us)

I agree with you, we shall wait and see but the reason I am venting now is because I feel we are all going down the same road again with this game. The same road as previous 3 years.

look no one is bashing ian or ganging up on him, its what it is, if it was going to look different he woud have waited or not show it. its progress none the less. oh and please with its early stuff ,the game will be done may and get base touch up from then on. they have been working on this since the day after 09 released.

no one says to disrespect ian, but harsh criticism of anything he posts is allowed once not crossing the line of disrespect. its a forum some people are more gracious than others i personally took it in the spirit it was intended with a grain of salt.

It is different, man.

1. There is a whole new team in place, not one person is back from last year.
2. We are receiving information(however small it is) through draft day. The bigger bombs come out after that.

3. We both want a good game of sim football.

I just feel it's preliminary to make any decisions before we see video and what is in store down the road.

I would like to see major fluid motions on all players on the field. They react accordingly to the situation. I would like to see db's play better bump and run.

I would like to see better D LINE get some realisitic pressure and swim moves / O-LINE play , pass protecting and run blocking instead of the garbage we have been seeing over the years. I would like to see better catch animations again relevant to the situation ie wide open, double team, 1 on 1, up high, jumping, low... I would like to see better throwing animations from qb's, ...

Defense have better fight for the ball instead of the rediculous hard hit ie see apex video...

Just an overall better AI, play with realistic situations....

I hope all these little "improvements" are leading up to this, we shall wait a see but somehow I feel we are going down the same road...

These were just a few things that popped up.

New team yes, well not really Ian still worked on previous next gen madden, but the same things he says now about realism is the same things he said back for Madden 08 so really what are to expect?

That is one thing I will disagree with you on.

He is calling the shots now, not like a few years ago when he was a part of the team.

So, yes, it's still different.
