	"While we have a number of announcements and updates to come over the next several weeks leading up to next month's NFL Draft, I'm excited to debut the first screenshot from this year's game right here this week. The old adage says, "A picture is worth a thousand words", and that is certainly true in this fantastic shot. How many improvements can you pick out? The Madden dev team will call each one out in their blog later this week."

Yeah, basically it's confirmation that they're getting back to the basics and showing the attention to detail that Madden has so desperately needed these past 5 years or so.

It's not so much "OOOoOooo purdy graphics" as it is "wow, look at all the basis they covered, these guys really do give a damn!"

No one feature that's been announced... Procedural awareness, WR/DB interaction, QB play, ratings refactor, purdy graphics, hand towels, Superbowl art, etc... no single one factor has anyone all that excited. It's the sum total of all of the above and the knowledge that we're still 4 months away and there's a lot more to come. Being a lot more to come wouldn't be enough of the stuff we've seen wasn't the right stuff (oh oh ah oh oh, oh oh, ah oh).

After five years of David "You guys wouldn't understand" Ortiz, we've got a guy who understands us and is making strides to show us he has some pride and wants to be the best at what he does.

To David Ortiz, we were a tiny, insignificant slice of the market. To Ian and Phil, we're the 1%ers. We may be few, but please us, and you know you've got a classic.

^^Exactly. Great great post.

You know madden has always had problems when transition to new consoles. PS1 was probably the worst, this current one being the second worst, and the PS2 transition being the best due to the graphical leap. David Ortiz had his heart in the right place but he just wasn't getting Madden back on track fast enough and not to sound harsh... I'm really glad that he is gone.

# 503 Avii @ 03/24/09 10:56 AM

LOL, I read multiple times about David Ortiz and thought yu guys had it about Big Papi. I wondered how that would tie into an NFL game.

Lo and behold, Google came to the rescue!

Is David Ortiz the guy we have to thank for just adding a truck stick for one year, new uniforms the next, add a single new touchdown animation the following one and rehash the same game (plus roster updates) for sooo long? Good riddance IMO.

Hopefully Ian listens to what we gamers want and actually delivers a game we want to play.

Oh, and Ian, add selectable touchdown animations in the vein of PES (about 2, which would pop up much more frequently than random ones. random ones should still be done by the touchdown guy, and their frequency could be excellently controlled with a slider. For instance, Barry Sanders and LaDainian would very rarely, if ever, celebrate) in your Create-A-Player/ Edit Player feature.

# 504 Avii @ 03/24/09 11:00 AM

I add emphasis on random ones, because for example Wes Welker got fined for making a Snow Angel, which could be considered a random touchdown animation based on his current scenario (a game played in snow) rather than that he would always make snow angels upon making touchdowns. So a slider to determine frequency of random touchdown animations, rather than the one or two trademark ones per player, is an excellent way to control them. Player who makes a lot of random ones (Say, TO or Chad Johnson etc) simply get their two (or even absolutely none) trademark ones aside with a 100% on the random slider, making their celebrations truly random.

Please consider this seriously.

I would rather people get a bit too excited than a bit too underwhelmed.

People are free to constructively criticize the game, I don't see why people can't get a bit excited with a screen shot.

Screen shot looks amazing... Great job Ian and co.... Thanks for taking our feedback.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The little details adds to the overall package. The line about the 1%ers is very true, I am surprised I didn't think about it first, lol.

# 513 brza37 @ 03/24/09 12:02 PM

65 pages already about one picture?! Amazing.
Can't wait to hear about franchise.

# 514 Eman5805 @ 03/24/09 12:23 PM

Ed Hoculi doesn't look roided out. Bad form, EA.

Spats = shoe tape. Quite a few Cardinals have shoes taped.

I hope the roster accuracy guy includes them when it comes to the default roster.

# 516 green94 @ 03/24/09 12:46 PM

Sounds like tomorrow Ian and Co. will dig into the photo and expound on the details.

Can't wait.

# 517 daplayawitdafunk @ 03/24/09 12:47 PM

As far as shoes are concerned id rather they just ditch the Grey or Black all together as a default. Give each player team colored shoes. For instance Cowboys shoes would be White with blue and black. Just give us some color on the shoes. This grey and black stuff is not pleasing to the eyes.

I had to go all the way back to the first game of the 08 season to see him with thigh pads, I think its safe to say he is just missing a visor, black ankle and wrist tape and gloves and needs his thigh pads removed.

To the person who said he looks like a ballerina should take a look at more in game shots, he isn't very big.

# 519 TheWatcher @ 03/24/09 01:02 PM

I don't understand why people have to go on a crusade to tell everybody to not have some fun over something.

What good does that do?

Can't we just have fun? Isn't that why you come here... to have fun? That's why I come.

# 520 RGiles36 @ 03/24/09 01:03 PM

I don't know if I'll ever understand how some want to dictate what others' response should be to good news.

It's been explained enough so I won't dive deep into it. But besides the prototype vids and informational blogs, this is our first look into Ian/Phil/Tiburon's words coming to fruition. Damn right fans have the right to be excited.

Obviously, many fans have not let go of gripes held from years' past. I'm sure we'll have gripes with this upcoming game in some form or fashion as well. But damn, get over it. There's no reward for, "I'm not getting excited until I get the game in my hands so there!" Besides Guilly's responses being a little over the top, I think everyone else has been cordial in their excitement. I don't think anyone went and made pre-orders off the strength of one screen. And if so, so be it.
