However I ask because quite a few people have commented they thought it looked way too fast.

I'm really glad the PS3 version looks nearly identical this year and will run at 60 fps. Rudy's happy.

The game definately looks faster on the video than last year. Compare the '09 video (http://www.gamespot.com/video/944960...otball-09-demo) to this '08 video. In '09 you can see from the opening kickoff at the 2:25 mark that the guy is covering 10 yards in 2 seconds and he's not running in a straight line either. In this video review of NCAA '08 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23041.html , fast forward to the 5:42 mark (right near the end) and watch how slow the WR covers 10 yards on an angle. It takes him 3 seconds to cover 10 yards which is about how fast a fat OL would run. Also check Jamaal Charles of Texas at 3:39 (who is fast) and how long it takes him to get outside as well.

You have to remember though that sometimes games look fast or kinda crazy in what is going on but when you play them it's a different story. Watching and playing are two different things. However I can def. see where people have concern.

What I keep thinking myself is the pS2 version always was the best speed and I know it did look crazy fast but when you played it, it didn't seem too fast at all, it seemed perfect.

Do you have some kind of insider information that no one else has

Don't worry about that; after all, it was an SEC game.

Nah, he doesn't.

The whole EA/Take 2 deal has led to half the internet proclaiming they have marketing degrees. I didn't realize that I could find so many people with advanced business degrees on the web- boy was I wrong!

I also read that Madden was getting camera angles this year. EA should change it's slogan to "It's In The Game.........Next Year......Maybe......."
