Ian wrote somewhere that weather will reflect actual weather conditions in the city you're playing in

Bleh.. instant direction changes are still in too. Junk. Watch the DB to the left side. He runs up, straight towards the WR that's running a straight route, then turns around to the right and instantly changes direction / speed. Couple this with the lack of route based passing and I see the same problems with warping and inability to properly read zone coverage continuing being a problem in Maddne '10. I just don't see how zone coverage, or any coverage for that matter, can work properly when guys can literally change directions without any impact to their speed.

Two guys running the opposite direction and the CB is still able to stop turn around and stay with the WR in such a way that that the WR is always covered. That's simply not realistic by any measure.

K. Hamlin?

I know we drafted Michael Hamlin, but players aren't allowed to put first initials on a jersey anymore.

I'm not seeing the new running animation. And definitely not seeing enough speed on that run play.

Video games have been safe from this invasion but it's inevitable, and in a game simulating the NFL it's not unrealistic. I also think during the coin toss is a LOT less unobtrusive than having it pop up during gameplay or replays, which it doesn't seem to do (which does happen in real NFL broadcasts). Can't complain about that.

Tivo is definitely my friend there. If it's part of the commentary or presentation that mirrors a true NFL broadcast, then it doesn't bother me. It's when it exits from representing the broadcast / game that the advertisement that the illusion of the simulation / immersion in the game is lost. At that point, it's not representing the NFL, it's just advertisements.

Well looks like Ian is taking a break from the boards. Now constructive criticism may be missed because of a few (maybe more than a few) dense heads here.
