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.

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.

The spin move definitely has been very powerful in all the football games I can remember

Better be a VERY EARLY pre-E3 alpha build with the way that looked and sounded... wow that was bad.
Looks good but come on guys isn't about time something was done with the commentary.

And this is exactly what I feared would happen unfortunately. They spent so much time programming the 700 cameras, they didn't have enough time to actually integrate them into an engaging heart-thumping presentation package. In other words, EA did a great job at the academic front (they replicated every dang camera), but spent relatively little time in the emotional front which is equally as important - if not more so (the "other company" had 30 cameras at best but was still hailed as revolutionary in presentation).
In the end, you have a game that looks authentic in sporadic bursts (they show technically correct camera angles), but you still have a game that doesn't capture the essence of an interactive TV broadcast (due to the improper use of stat overlays, non-effective camera transitions, and too much looking at static guys doing nothing in between plays).
Everything is just so dang "skippable" because of this. I'm going to say this though. Madden 12 is definitely in an improvement in presentation, but I was really rooting for EA to make bigger strides - especially since they removed the extra point.
I had to pause right off the bat, where is the proper tackling? Geez! Bowling pin tackling! Looks pretty but cmon!
Gus says, "Power running" then Mendenhall does that ridiculous spin..lol

I feared the only TV elements would be before the game with the new openings but then nothing after that. That seems to be case.
Edit: Okay, in some of the other videos I see they do cut to replays after the plays which is much better.

Two things jumped out at me.
1.I can't believe they left the part in where the ref went to make the call, and the game glitched into the stands, totally obscuring the ref.
2.Remind me never to read Youtube comments again

This is just me but the first thing I saw was how huge the stripes on the Browns pants were. They have a thin stripe on the pants, it's way to big in the game.
The commentary wasn't good at all. At 2:30 when McCoy pitches the ball to Hillis he says "McCoy takes the pitch", what the heck. Even if there is a Brown on the cover this year, if it stays this way I might have to pass.
