I get that the "risk/reward" thing is kinda different but I don't see how this entire thing requires it to be touted as a feature in of itself...

Why do you care how its marketed? Its a new, or at least greatly expanded, part of the experience. They wanted us to know that. So its a "feature".

I'm not really talking about the marketing but so much as the feature itself. Another game under EA does something similar yet in a better and more realistic manner.

To add: Play the moment is a big one for me. I used to love playing as the OC or DC on NCAA. I know this isn't exactly the same but it's as close as Madden has been since I started playing it.

Being able to play just defence/offence is a big one.

Donald Penn being on the injury screen leads me to believe they are telling us OL will actually get hurt this year.

No one expected that kind of customization from them last year, but they did it and blew away everyone's expectations. EA hypes first and then brings us things like "big decisions" which will probably become an annoyance after a few weeks, rather than delivering on innovative features. Pretty simple to see the difference between the two. I don't mean this to be a debate between 2K and EA, that's not my intention. I just think it's ridiculous to say that they "can't" do something that is already being done.

There will be some things missing from the game that won't make everyone happy and while others will be satisfied or giddy to what has been included.

There were a few things missing in the game you are referring to that I wasn't too pleased about.

Big decisions could turn into MUT for me, for all I know, I ignore it, but there will be some people that will enjoy it.

No, Price shot that down in his Q&A thread. That screen is more likely from a sim.

So Madden gets a pass now for screwing up an entire gen NFL football gaming? You can't compare Madden to 2k just because Tiburon screwed up? Last I heard they both cost 59.99. Far as I'm concerned they should be sued or give us our money back for the terrible games they put out last gen.
Anyway these additions are cool but I'm not getting overly exciting for things that should have been in the game years ago and I've already used in other games. This team is doing a great job with Madden they still have a long way to go but at least they are improving the game every year.
