Now you know how the community felt dealing with Mr. Ortiz for the last few years

You deserve a medal for putting up with these kind of jokers.

Some people have no respect. Game looking solid, even with the obvious pro-tak tuning issues. Pocket looked very good as did the reduced speed. All the 'little things' are coming together nicely.

Soon as I see more franchise and the holy grail that is the presentation blowout/blog I may very well buy and not rent this year.

And that was still an alpha build. Nice.

You should have had some fun with him and started speaking gibberish!

Gaming press in general is entirely suspect. Most of the people working at the large companies have got their built-in biases so deeply held at this point that its impossible for them to be objective at all.

On another note, the game looks great until that bizarre clipping and warping at the end of the interview at the goal line...sweet Jesus that looks like it is going to require MAJOR work to prevent those things from coming up when the game releases....

Not to be too much of a Debbie Downer here, but I remember all too well the way Madden NFL 2007 was almost completely broken by the fact that once a player was engaged, they would become invulnerable to other players but could still break out of tackles or carry the animation for a gimme 5-7 yards....if PRO-TAK ships will ANY of those kind of glitches, they will be found and used and will become the new definition of game killer....

Good luck with the tuning...the feature is very promising, but in the end it is all going to come down to implementation. 1000 plays done right can (and will on the internets) be undone by a single play that ships with warping that bad...

The DT blowing up the run was great also. Very good to see that.

I know that game speed is one of those things you have to actually play the game to get a feel for, but the slowed-down gameplay just looks right and makes Madden look so much better (on top of all the other new stuff). I'm impressed with what I see so far.

Maddens looking like it's going to shape up to be a playable game this year... saw a couple of things I liked and some things that could use some work (which is probably being adressed). Overall I'm impressed.

That was pretty awesome, the graphics look great.
