Madden 09 Gillette Stadium Trailer: GameTrailers

[countryboy]

after watching the 2 more times, I am still not sure what happened on that turnover.

The other thing is on Randy Moss TD, I complained about the bad pursuit angle taken by the defender. Well, after watching again, the angle didn't seem to be cause of the breakaway TD, but more or less the fact that the last defender that Moss beat was a LB. Now, I am not saying that pursuit angles are perfect or are not a problem in the game because it was apparent in the GB/Min video shown earlier.

One more thing, I wish they would get someone to play the game that actually wants to sit in the pocket and make a pass instead of running around like a chicken with his head cutoff.

I guess the rewind feature is in regular gameplay .

I was wondering about this whole feature also. So, basically it is a do-over for any play that you run? It would be nice to see your mistake, but I don't think it is good that you can run the play again. Unless it is a exclusive game mode or something.

It was definitely not a fumble IMO. He caught the ball and made no football moves. The ball was definitely not a fumble IMO.

I also noticed the Giants have lower socks in the video . Maybe it's a team detail that EA has added.

Also it looks like they added some post play interaction between players. I noticed players side stepping each other and stepping around each other after the play ala APF .

Also, it worries me that this video comes from EA with the developers playing like this dropping back 15 yards. It just shows me they have no interest in providing a sim style play.

Can some explain what they loved about the presentation? When the video first started, I thought the outside stadium shot was great. But that was really it.

No TV camera cut scenes. No stat overlays. No complete roster lineup overlays. I'm actually disappointed.

The problem is the game almost invites you to do that because of the OL/DL play though. Not trying to absolve the idiot gamers, but it's natural to want to get away from pressure. In real life it isn't that easy to move left/right to open space and have comfortable throwing lanes. In Madden, it is [easy].

Stat overlays are in the game according to the Q&A session with Phil Frazier over at EA's website. I am guessing they are only available during franchise/season games.

As for the complete roster lineup, I am thinking that the human player pressed a button to skip the complete lineup overlays. I can't believe that what was shown was it. I guess I'll have to find out for myself once the game drops.

And I am not sure what you are meaning by TV camera cut scenes. There were cut scenes that showed the players close up and a TV style replay within that video.

I agree. But I was hoping that someone with football knowledge was playing the game and would stay in the pocket so we could get a better assessment on how the OL/DL interaction was this year.
