the stuff seems its gonna be a big upgrade from last year
My take on all of this.
Hopefully they make the blocking better this year, cuz they said that last year and you're guys still missed a lot of blocks even when you have numbers on someone in the box. The open wr thing is another up for the offense and may be a problem. Nobody really goes on pump fakes atleast elite players so this wont do much, maybe they finally made the sidelines look real well better. Online dynasty is going to be hot and roster sharing ( some people might lose money from this). Returning field goals this should be fun but wont make since if kicking is like it is in 08. Formation audibles is back and I can't wait to create an offense with it hopefully under the center play is back too. lol for my offline needs looks like ill be able to play some hard rap at my OSU stadium. smart routes makes it's comeback cant wait for this but will it get out of hand?
Bobble catches this should be interesting maybe bring some flash to the game but will the wr ever drop the bobble catch is the question. Passing on ncaa was a little weird and tight, they still let you run back 50 yards and throw a good pass or run back and throw a good pass while still running back. Maybe if they got cpu vs cpu they will let you watch player vs player. This up coming summer I plan to have a hd tv so i can enjoy the 09 games in style. First madden news should be up in one or two days.
Hopefully, EA has smartened up and will continue to have NCAA and Madden share similar game engines. -They should've started that way before '08. --Great stuff though; -gonna get that pre-order in ASAP.
