Sweet...and then hopefully after that the blogs continue to flow...when did they start last year? was it after the draft?

Nah...if you recall, we started getting blogs around March-ish. By time the draft came, we were given information, press releases, and screenshots, but the blogs started losing steam about that time in my opinion. They weren't as interesting as the first several ones were.

Though we are getting a Super Bowl blog, I'm still not convinced that we'll be treated to weekly blogs like we received last year. It could happen, but I'm not betting on it.

I tweeted that I want to see a gameplay focused blog, this Superbowl halftime. Hopefully, I will be able to read it from my phone since I won't be home for the Bowl.

First blog was on January 28th last year. That was the 'Everything you See on Sunday' blog (I looked it up heh).

If you're referring to Thudias' question, I think he meant the subsequent blogs following the Super Bowl blog.

Was trying to find a post on the size of the football in M10 and came across this tidbit:

Audio in general is near the top of our priority list for next year...but I do still think you will see major improvements once you get your hands on the game compared to 09. The majority of 09 was spent just getting the radio guy out and Tom and Cris in...so for 10 we focused on filling out the areas that were lacking.

Audio's near the top of their list for this year. Definitely a good sign. Hopefully they go the banter route interspersed with play by play call instead of play by play with random commentary thrown in.

OS Didnt do a bad job of banning people, warning, and trying to eliminate the trolls.

I agree with this statement.

In fact I'd say overall, OS did about everything that could be expected to make Operation Sports a good place for the interaction to take place.

It seemed at least to me, the vast majority of posters that where insulting, and added really nothing of value to the discussion, where people with very few posts on OS. People who had really no vested interest in our community. I honestly believe everything that could be done...was, to try to limit the negative impact these people had on the interaction.

As you kind of eluded to Lolfalcon...no way possible to avoid a few dicks on any internet board. They come and go. And for anyone to expect otherwise, is just being naive. So at least imo anyway...cheers to Operation Sports, for doing all it could to make last years interaction with the devs meaningful.

After last year's big letdown (gameplay wise), I'm not so excited for Madden 11, but you never know, maybe this year they will come through, and if the rumor that some old 2K sports staff may be working on Madden 11, that can only be good news.
