Missed that note from Ian. Im glad to hear that. But what do they mean by "quicker" presentation? I would like to see it slowed down and rolled out more. The cutscenes last year were so abvieviated that you couldnt tell what was happening. These should be done in real time - like MLB 10 The Show is doing. More stat overlays, out of town updates, commentary, sidelines...more. Not less.

Hopefully by quicker they mean giving the user the option to skip cut scenes such as the repetitive chain gang and the such...

I really hope that "quicker" will result in more than the ability to skip chain gang scenes. i'm sure that could've bee addressed in the patches.

I am always amped about the next football season. I would like Madden to be a part of that excitement. I'm going to be patient this year though. I can't just blindly hand over my $60. I look forward to seeing everyone's impressions of the game.

I totally get that some people dont want to see presentation. It can be repetitive, but if done correctly (like MLB 10) then it really can add to the immersion and atmosphere of the game.

Idealy they should have a Presentation setting in the menu to toggle how much broacast presentation you want to see: OFF, FEW, FULL.

Personally i want my games to look like they do on TV, so i want all that stuff in there. I like having those breaks between plays, but i respect that is not for everyone. Im just worried they are going to take stuff out of Madden and I feel that is the wrong direction. They need to improve and polish what is already there IMO.

O NO NO Dude... I agree with you... I want to see all aspects of presentation including cutscenes. I was basing my comment on how they did certain cutscenes last year. Give the user the option to by pass cutscenes if they want.

I want more in my sports games so that they look, play and feel real. They have different difficulty settings for a reason. Im not sure what they mean by "simpler" but I hope they don't dumb it down too much where we aren't doing anything. I like setting audibles, calling plays, hot routes, substitutions and all that stuff that really happens on the field. Otherwise you're just lining up, snapping the ball and letting it play out. That's not realistic. The other thing is going "Quicker". WTF!!!?!?!?!?!? Their focus last year was to "slow things down" and make it play more realistically. That was a great design decision in my opinion. Madden had grown way too fast and arcadey over the past few years. So they slow the pace down a bit and now they are speeding it up again???? Seriously...WHAT...THE....F$&K. : ( I have no idea what they mean by "deeper"...sounds like a silly catch phrase to me.

A bit of advice would be to hold your horses... . Everything will be explained in time.
