Nice video. Has anyone seen a starting lineup banner with olinemen? If not, thats kinda disappointing.

Agreed..also can anyone hear if crowd noise is fixed?

They REALLY need to talk to EA Canada and learn how they do the commentary for NHL and FIFA. It just sounds so much more realistic in those games.
Although I will say I think NCAA commentary is implemented pretty well. Whoever does the commentary editing/work at Madden should be FIRED!

Negatives I found and many have mentioned:

- Commentary is absolutely atrocious
- Starting lineup only shows 5 players, Gus and Chris fail to mention even highlighted player
- Spin move is way too unrealistic and effective
- Peyton Hillis is brought down to easily, and on one play Hampton fell to the ground so easily, like the bowling pin effect still
- Boast about all new cameras, yet on the review of the catch in the end zone we only saw the wall

This better be an early build and the commentary only 10% added in. If not, then what they did to the presentation won't matter.

Im sorry, but they didnt do anything to the "presentation". They added fluff around the game.

What I mean is, they added these "stats overlays" when the qb is running on field prior to a drive, and another "stat overlay" after you score a TD.

They added awesome camera stuff before the game starts, between quarters,etc. but we are still watching random dudes run around randomly at the end of the play. From the time a drive starts until it ends, we get no TV style presentation or camera work from what I have seen. Its all smoke and mirrors. The overlays pop up and disappear before you can read them which has been a historical problem, I mean to have TV style presentation, you need constant overlays, proper post play/pre play camera cuts, and commentary that is proactive instead of reactive.

I was all pumped for some presentation, but its still not up to par, its not good enough.

Honestly this is the only thing I had a prob with and the over the top spin move just b/c those thing are completely unrealistic. Meanwhile I'll let everyone else complain while I'll be enjoying what appears to be a good solid game.

somebody beat me to the spin move comment.

There's no place for a move like that in any game that touts "momentum". Nobody on earth can spin that fast, and continue to run like they never even spun.

No slow down, no foot planting, no sense of having to regain acceleration. That just irks me....

The game looks great, but it's the LITTLE THINGS EA. The little things are what we care about.

Why does the stadium music continue to play for so long? Shouldn't it fade out sooner? Seems distracting.
