Why are the Seahawks wearing Department of Transportation Road Repair Shirts?

Is that an actual uniform?

That is FUGLY!

They're not much uglier than their default uniforms.

Reminds me of Seinfeld. "She's got the jimmy legs...."

Yeah, the landing pad is ugly. I wouldn't expect an option to turn it off though. There has to be something to tell you where a pass would land. If they don't add a "classic" option, expect a permanent landing pad. That's ugly and completely contridicts Ian's goal of cleaning up the screen and making the most realistic representation of football ever.

And the footwork didn't get cleaned up like I hoped. Guys are still ignoring the laws of physics. If players are not forced to plant and change direction realistically, it's going to hurt gameplay. I threw a few pics to defenders that were able to stop on a dime, spin on one foot and make a play.

My enthusiam is no where near as high as it was after playing a couple of months ago. I expected more improvements.

^^^ Yeah, I was hoping for at least a "classic" version of the landing circle, not turn-off completely. Like you said, I doubt there will be an option either way. They just made a little mistake there. I can live with it, but in the future I hope they consider how these things look and leave more options.

Uh oh. I don't like the sound of that.

In regards to the IGN video, not all the features were working(Pro-Tak) so its hard to make a fair judgment on that video. Now we could argue til the cows come home as to why that video was shown knowing that its lacking probably the most important gameplay feature addition, but thats a separate argument.

I think the reason the videos were shown is because people who follow the game as a casual Madden player are the overwhelming majority...OS Madden followers and people who break the game down to molecules are a significant minority. So while the game may get a little heat here in the confines of the forum...The general non-forum going public probably has a far better opinion about what they've seen.

EA marketing teams know that they have to show something so I don't think it bothers them to realease a few frames to IGN to get the hype train revved up. For every 1 negative comment here on the forum there are probably 10 positive comments or feelings by the general Madden consumer. Not speaking for myself but I'd say most consumers overall are still excited about Madden
