When I said that Madden hasn't had several dev teams, I wasn't pointing out a sematical error on your part or being a grammar Nazi. I said what I said to illustrate that the leads can change, but the quest for simulation remains the same. In other words, they think they are pretty much there already and just need to tweak a few things. A new dev lead at Tiburon is the equivalent of getting a new back of the box feature. It never amounts to any more than that.

I see what you're saying and you make an excellent point.

I would also like to apologize for my childish and smart remark earlier.

IMO all the presentation additions, post/pre play animations, defensive line moves, QB accuracy, zone coverage, and single tackle animations all look very well implemented (gang tackling isn't there yet). As long as the team keeps all of these improvements in the game, I trust they can improve other areas of the game just as good. I know this has can be said almost every year but to me the new that's that they've added give me hope for next years game.

Basically what will happen tho is they will make improvements and build on a broken game and then after years they will finally say "oh lets put a new engine in and start over, the game was broken all along." Too bad OS crowd couldnt put together a game or be a direct support team for Madden during the build! Like people keep saying it Madden but its far from a sim football game!

Nothing to apologize for and my reply to you could easily be misconstrued as childish grammar police nitpicking, so it was perfectly understandable, and tame to be honest.

I appreciate the apology, but it's unnecessary all the same.

No gang tackling...just another example where EA had a feature, then took it out. I expect 2-3 years from now, it will be added back as a new feature. What happened to pro tak?????

this game should be leaps and bounds beyond where it is now. I was so excited for this game. But after watching these videos....not now.

Graphics and presentation look okay, but unfortunately it's supposed to be a football game and I still don't see any evidence of improvement in that area

If the game doesn't meet your expectations until these things aren't in there, don't buy it until the game has what you want to feel satisfied.

If I did that, I'd probably never play Madden again based on how questionably they've managed their "priority list" the past decade. If I recall, they've run through about 3 different 3 year plans now.

However, I get my games for free. Haven't had to buy a game or system in generations, so that suggestion makes me chuckle a bit.

Whatever guys, as long as some *** clown can't beat me online running two fn plays the whole game I'll be jacked up. This game looks great, wish it were August now. Just wondering what they said about QB throwing motions? Are they redone?

Bowman actually does cover on special teams sometimes, but I agree about not wanting my starters on special teams
