The J E T S! Jets! Jets! Jets! chant was not in Madden 09 for the ps3 or 360. It was in the ps2 and Wii versions though.

I don't remember hearing the e-a-g-l-e-s eagles chant either. I can't wait to hear it this year.

Now, if I see a fan in the stands wearing #86, should I conclude that he is wearing Hines Ward's jersey, or is this really my new star WR's jersey he's wearing? I think this idea was in 2K5, but I could never tell if the fans were wearing an old player's number or a current player's number. So when I cut Kellen Winslow in my franchise years ago, and got a new, great WR who wore #80, I would see fans wearing the #80 jersey. But I could never tell who it was that they were pimping because there was never a name on the back of the jersey--it was seemingly generic.

It'd be cool to see people where throwbacks though. if Hines Ward leaves Pittsburgh, I'm still sure you'd still see Ward jerseys in the stand.

The reason they have auto drop backs is because it adds realism to creating the pocket. Auto drop backs make it so the players don't run backwards 20 yards and throw a lob to Randy Moss for a touchdown. Also, it automatically does three, five, and seven step drops which adds so much realism to each individual passing play you do. (Tip: You'll also be able to go through your progressions WHILE the Qb is dropping back)

I understand that,my POINT is you should be able to interupt those drop backs by moving the stick, like once I hike the ball and I start doing the drop back if I see a hole open up I want to be able to run through it right away instead of waiting for the drop back to finish. A few ppl here said they automatically do the drop back and you can't use your stick to go forward until the drop back animation is done,which is NOT REALISTIC.

I want full control of the QB,if I want the drop back to play out which most of the time I will obviously, I'll leave it alone, but if I see a wide open hole for me to fun through right away, I want to hit that hole as long as I have a QB with the agility and quickness to get through it. You see what I'm saying.

This is why I hate EA. All this presentation stuff should of been in 08 at least but of course not. They want to screw around and put the least amount of stuff they can get away with each year. I hope that court thing with the 2 gamers that the judge allowed to move forward blows up in the NFL's faces and then maybe we can get some more competition.

Hey Ian do you know whether we can retire player jerseys in franchise mode this year and/or keep career stats of our HOF players after they retire? I've been in cases in Years 25-30 of my franchise where I have a QB (Packers) who's approaching Favre's records and I've always wanted to go back and compare their stats.

Long time lurker here, and never post since most of the question I have are asked by other, but I am surprised no one brought this up:

Donny: Let me answer this in reverse. We have five new ratings this year, all at the QB position. We split Throw Accuracy into three accuracy ratings: Short, Mid, and Deep. Short accuracy is used to determine passes 20 yards and under, mid accuracy is used from 21-40, and deep is used for 41+ (that’s in exact distance from the QB to his target…not from the LOS to the yard line of the WR).

Shouldn't this be more like more like> short 1-8 medium 8-20 and deep 20 +? I added a couple extra yards in because Donny stated that is from the QB not LOS.

If they keep it this way it penalizes Mcnabb more than he should (dude can't throw a screen to save his life but has no issue with a 5 yard slant or out) and pretty much has anyone with a decent Short Accuracy throwing good passes for a 13 yard average.

If they somehow implemented that buzzing noise when the Eagles score at home or have the fans sing Fly Eagles Fly...thatd be incredible

but i am excited about the chant
