yeah the light box in the endzone is called a “hot spot” those spots are were specific celebrations take place and they only appear after a t.d.

[quote comment="17591"]As others have said though, things like first down marker, on field referees, kicking nets, in-game stats, et al, these are all MUST HAVES by now.[/quote]

Worth quoting. No matter how many times it’s been said.

If referees and the rest of the aforementioned details aren’t included, features like celebrations are meaningless. We’ll celebrate when the game gets the important details right.

I hope this “feature” can be disabled, though I imagine it could be fun in same-console multiplayer matches to rub a little extra salt in those wounds.

As others have said though, things like first down marker, on field referees, kicking nets, in-game stats, et al, these are all MUST HAVES by now. I should not be able to fire up Madden 2004 and see additional features that aren’t available in the 3rd version of the next-gen title 5 years down the road.

However, I don’t expect any of these features would be announced via gamestop, which is clearly aimed at advertising towards the more casual gamers.

If the draft classes are still as messed up as the previous two releases (basically the same class every year, with no MLBs worth picking in the first 4 rounds as an example) I’ll be very dissapointed. I’m assuming (perhaps dangerously so) that we’ll see the turnover problems corrected in this release also.
