I agree. last night I was playing all pro football 2k8 for the first time in years. I ran outside with my halfback Emmit Smith and he got pushed out of bounds and ended up trucking Roger Staubach on the sideline. thought that was pretty cool.

This times 10 this is one of the single most annoying things in Madden

I am disappointed they didn't talk about halftime, we know from the E3 videos they at least added the wider replay angles, I'd like to hear more about what they did because they were still working on it last thine I played.

Excited to see the "living worlds" with respect to the crowd. Never played NHL but it looked good from the videos I saw. Everything else, while nice, is kinda underwhelming. I was hoping to hear about network presentation (CBS, NFL Network or ESPN) being introduced. Maybe next year...Anyway, cant wait to give it a spin with EA Access.

Other than that I like the sound of the improvements, but once again, have to see how they play out in the retail. None of this stuff is ever as good as they make it sound in these blogs. This was probably the most underwhelming blog, but they did address things we were asking for, and added alot of things we didn't. Hope it pays off for them.

It depends on what you are looking for. Sim fans typically want their game to look like whats on TV. There are other fans though who want the game to look like it is on the field....as if you were actually playing the game. I think this is a decent middle ground.

This always confuses me. Madden's presentation is pretty much a CBS presentation. Same lead announcers. Similar scoreboard. Similar stat overlays (except for these new 3d overlays). Similar graphics used for starting lineups.

Does it matter that much that the scoreboard says EA instead of CBS? Licensing network logos costs money and I'd rather they use those resources somewhere else.

Thoroughly underwhelmed.....Thought for sure we would be getting in game highlights or weekly wrap up, just because it is 2015 and it is time.

I dont hate anything they revealed they are doing, with the exception of the super zoomed replays. I want to see the context of the play, how it develops from real replay angles. If we are talking an interception/fumble/big hit/ etc then give me the traditional zoomed out followed by a zoomed in one on that piece of the action.

Other than that the other stuff is fine and welcome but isnt getting me excited. Females and foam fingers dont really warrant special recognition imo.....but hey thats just me.....

The other stuff is definitely cool but I always wonder how many casualfans actually watched the weekly wrap up shows in past versions of Madden, NFL 2k, NCAA 2k etc. I'd guess that the numbers are low and the dev team isnt willing to put development time into something that is used primarily by a minority of their audience.

I loved the way 2k had there half time show and such. It helped a ton though that they had espn music and such but it was so well implemented. If I simulated a week in madden I defiantly would watch the end of the week highlight show featuring big plays and scores. Absolutely loved that
