I agree. I hope they dont overlook this and Im sure they havent. But with EA you never really know until you play the game for yourself. I mean im still getting celebration animations from my own team when my QB gets sacked. And the grass for NCAA i dont know about that it looks very long and not like an NFL field. What bothers me is that FIFA has the perfect looking turf but for some reason Maddens is just not on the same level. These are just things I notice. It doesnt stop me from playing the games.

Doesn't do a darn thing for me...

...Madden hasn't been the same since the SNES days...sorry to say, but next-gen hasn't been "next-gen" football at all. Boo.

Impossible to see anything I'm looking for in this teaser. Actually, this vid shows that some of what I'm looking for hasn't been addressed.

Smell the cheese, you will be able to buy and sell your playbooks... Don't know whether thats good or bad depending on how deep the play book customization is i.e. if it includes things like :

-user friendly adjustments: someone is able to create play that automates from start to finish including pre snap adjustment (good for offense to combat nano, but would create a one click nano maker for defense) I'm gonna assume that that amount of customization won't happen because of time, simpler quicker deeper...

I see something that looks like online spectating with the exception it's live score card type with chat ability, not like the MMA live spectate that they showed at E3 last year (wonder what happened to sharing in house resourses) 00:18

The Surprise onside kick looked to be on display.

not on my wish lists for madden next gen to present but I'm sure people are drooling.

Uhm, maybe I missed something, but where has this been implied at all?

Among the remaining two, I haven't seen the correct answer at all on one of them, and only one person has gotten the other right, though that's two now. For the record, neither are in this thread.

Could you let us know which one we totally whiffed on? I'm guessing its got to be either the Ray Rice one or the Walter Payton one. Only two people got the FG one right and the rest seem to be pretty obvious.

Also, can you tell us whether the Player Tendencies will be editable?

no where...just guessing that's all.

1)In-depth Online Team-Play Lobbies

2)Synthetic/Simulated Grass....looked like Atlanta's Turf

3)New Stat Attributes...LaDanian had stats/attributes recorded for running the ball to the right or left

4)New Team Specific Intro's

5)Re-Vamped Special Teams...pay close attention...there's a guy close to blocking both field goals kicks!

6)Locomotion has had some work done...pay close attention to the bottom right vid...showing off a WR coming off the line...you can actually see his foot placement/burst as he accelerates

7)Surprise Onside Kicks...we already knew this one

8)Improved Lighting...the birds-eye view of Steelers Stadium looks close to the real thing!

So far this is all I spotted...
