Well ODogg...you've got a point there.

One of the features I'm most interested in is the "Madden IQ". My hope is that it will truly make say All-Pro level more challenging. Or All-Madden a little more reasonable for an average player like myself.

I like All-Madden level because I have to stay on my toes at all times, because the cpu offense can be so explosive. And for me anyway...the cpu defense is pretty tough to move the ball against. I get a feeling of satisfaction just hanging in there on All-Madden, that feeling just isn't there for me on All-Pro.

But dang...things can sure get outta control for me on All-Madden. So I have to search for sliders that fit my skill level...which can get pretty frustrating. My hope is that the "IQ" thing will all but eliminate the need for sliders. That maybe unrealistic to hope for...but it sure would be nice.

Thanks for the preview Steve.


Not nearly as hyped for Madden as I am NCAA this year, as I think the 60 year online dynasty trumps anything improvement Madden has had by itself.

Did they fix the horrible quarterback dropback and scrambling animations?

Do qbs have their unique tendencies, like how they drop back, hold the ball, scramble, and throw and release?

Is there multiple camera angles?

Are there formation substitutions?

Hey, what's wrong with a QB dropping back 30 yards just to complete a 15 yard play?

Thats madden.

I keep telling myself one of these days madden is going to give options for us realism crowd. But I think I am lossing hope

I hope they worked on faces. EA's needs new artists, even starters faces weren't that great of quality for the last 3 years. Favre didn't even look like Favre and that's supposed to be this years cover boy.

No accelerated clock? WTF EA. Must be tough to implement
