This leaves me with one more question then, is the towel move able to certain spots along the waist in the editor or is there only one spot for the towel?

My guess would be off the to the left, off to the right and right in the middle as the options in the player editor for the hand towel.

I'd really like this to translate into moveable end zone pylons ala ps2.

Here it is in Madden NFL 09: (sorry, couldn't find a pro comparison image) If we make it too much smaller it means we'll have to re-do nearly all of our ball-carrying animations (catches, run cycles, etc) because the ball will no longer be placed correctly. That is obviously a tough sell - to spend hundreds of hours tweaking animation data just to decrease the ball size by 3%. I just wish it had been right in the first place! Argh! Look at the size of it in Madden 06! I'll see what we can do to shrink it just a tad bit more though.

Man please do not waste any time on reducing the size of the fricking ball. When the game is releaased and people start discovering the inevitable flaws it's going to be a "Man they spent all that time on the damn ball size" smorgas board of criticism. Nobody plays Madden and complains about the size of the ball
