Perhaps...and if I played any other sports games, that would actually matter.

Happy to see Madden is on board with other sports titles out in the presentation department.

It's a sizzle trailer. Congrats - EA has finally understood what it takes to make a great sizzle in the sports gaming industry. I did like it.

Bring on the real stuff.

Team/player introductions and entrances... NEW to Madden 07.

...

Then taken out for 09 and slowly added back in [and thankfully improved] between 10-12.

Now it appears to be done well.

Do I like it? Yes. I am just very cynical at this point. For a few years when we hear new stuff about madden it is often times greeted with "about time" instead of "oh cool," and I think for good reason.

I wonder if the Chargers still have the Boltman mascot. I thought I remembered reading some where that they got rid of him but, I'm not sure. If they didn't it'd be nice if it was in the game but, I doubt it.

The colors look great. The scenes look great but the players look strange. Manning has a tiny pinhead and they still cant get R. Lewis to look like R.Lewis. The presentation is awesome though along with the progressive lighting. There is a lot of good stuff this year.

Sure, I agree with this, but we've know what Madden was in the past. The only NG Madden I enjoyed was 10, but to even see the jump in material brought forward today whether it's a blog or a small sizzler, leaves me cautiously optimistic for the next Madden.

Let's put it another way to gauge my temperature. I was only excited about the previews of 10 on NG. If history has a way of repeating myself, I should be excited for 12.

That cutscene w/ Vick running to the huddle was great.
