The only problem I have is that Ryan Perrilloux is still LSU's QB. I almost certain whoever does the rosters this year will take him out.

Ehhh..I dont know..I feel kind of underwhelmed. i did notice that I was able to control my MLB wihtout being insta suctioned. i'd usually have to back the Lb up a caouple of yards.

I just didnt really see anything all that "new"..same hyper blitzes, still able to pitch the ball accurately while getting creamed..still able to sprint out at will with little loss of accuracy when throwing downfield on a dead run..

thos have always been my biggest pet peeves.

Read through the read and you'll see what won't be in the retail. Example is the option pitch IS fixed in the retail version.

Does that happen with movies? Do you pay less to see a movie since Burger King paid a cool 10 million in advertising throughout the film?

Does that happen at the stadiums? Since Coke paid 20 million to be the official sponsor of soda for MLB, do you pay less for soda? Your ticket?

Same thing here.

What I'm saying is the ads shouldn't be in there at all. I mean it serves no purpose. It's a video game. And one WE'RE paying for. Heck for $60 they should put our names on the stadium.

Yet if they weren't there we'd get "Why can EA add realistic sponsors?"

# 1187 Pared @ 06/24/08 12:09 PM

Damn you and your common sense, Sky.

Yes they most certainly should, real sporting events have ads and if you want realism then you should want the game to look like the real thing.

That would be easy... I mean, it is ONLY a 50 megabyte excel book.

hes not in the game for the final build. demo is from an old build before they went back through the rosters and made changes.

I posted about this yesterday. That isn't a pistol formation... it is a shotgun play where the QB is a step closer than the other shotgun plays.

The Pistol formation is in the retail version for LSU.

I think the answer was that they drop frames in replays and the rotating ball is one of them.

Maybe it isn't. The point is, they're not getting me, and probably other 'new users'. One of my biggest complaints about passing for example is that you don't get to see the ball a lot of the time, why can't they show something so important to the game? - the focal point actually. I don't notice a difference party because I haven't invested a lot of time with it.

I have given it and last years effort and chance though, I;ve played 4 games of this years and probably 8-10 last year.

I guess I'm hoping that madden and ncaa drastically change to get up to speed with other genres, rather than fix 'issues' that were there in previous itterations. Sports this gen have had low expectations and even lower delivery imo.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, if you enjoy it, good for you, but I just don't see the appeal.

Dude has a good point. In NCAA, half the time on passing plays, you cannot see the ball until the very last second. I don't know. Maybe I am wrong about this.

# 1195 remlover @ 06/24/08 04:39 PM

At first i absolutely did not like the demo. However, it grew on me and i began to like the open style game play. The first thing i'll do once i get the retail PS3 version is change the control layout and have "X" be the speed burst. I'm too much of an old school kind of guy.

I seriously hope they fix this matter. Its almost unbearable to watch passing replays because of it...I just don't understand EA sometimes. Replay is a very important part of presentation & they just seem to find something to mess up on the PS3 version...Sick of feeling slighted graphically, game play wise ext, then listen to all the excuses on why they had to do this or that to make something else work right. I don't see this problem with the 360 but then again I don't own a 360...Space should not be a issue on the PS3 right? shyt!

# 1197 volball625 @ 06/24/08 04:59 PM

So has anyone seen any of those cool animations in the demo? Like convoy blocking or tip toeing down the sideline(which in the video, the guy was leaning the wrong way making it look stupid). I've seen the mistaken fumble animation which was pretty cool.

	how are you again OMT, just wondering if you found anything out about the few glitches i found. 1. QB lining off center, behind the center before snap (not in 360 demo) 2. auto replay (no ball rotation and footsliding) (not in 360 demo). 3. ball disappears while switching ball hand while running. (not so much in the 360 version, but everytime in the ps3 version) thank again for your hardwork. i really want to get the ps3 version, but if these things dont get fix, i would have to get both version cause the online dynasty league im in. i would like to play my offline dynasty on the better version (360). so it also means i have to get both version of madden also because of draft classes. which is not that bad since you guys hook me up with $20 per game from EA store.(thank you)

Actually OMT, LSU does have the Pistol formation in the demo I have used it. But it seems as if it only shows up in h2h play.

Just clarifying.

I did see the tiptoe on the sideline, that was awesome.
