i found this site a few weeks ago looking for nba live 08 news, now its one of my daily bookmarked sites!

love it!!!!

did u notice a few things in the new madden that they took out?
annoying if u ask me.

1) stats and COMPLETELY gone from the score ticker during the game?
why would they do that?
sucks for stat junkies for me who like to see what guys r doing in game.

2) they changed the play calling screens got rid of ASK COACH, which i ALWAYS used, and got rid of KEY PLAYER photos and stats next to their name.
ugh
again, why?
if it aint broke.

3) they changed the presnap lead blocker camera angles.
wtf
they used to switch toa close up view of whoever u put the camera on.
now its that far away view, plus its now a two button process.

again……WTF.

4) is it me or are the ps3 graphics a bit worse than last year>?

oh pasta make me feel better lol

Tommy, I’m sure theres a hell of a lot of things I haven’t even picked up on yet. I definitely don’t care for the changes to the playcall screen, but I knew that after I played NCAA because it was the same way.

I’ve yet to really just sit down and play the game to enjoy it, hopefully now that its been released thats what I’ll have some opportunity to do and I’ll probably come across more of those type of things.

Leaving out the in game stats was a huge dissapointment
for me. I actually started playing my old franchise in 07 again.
