Gamestop Madden Monday: Options on Demand

Continuing with their “Madden Mondays” blog feature for the third week in a row Gamestop has posted details on the picture-in-picture play call window. You can read the posting in full here.

To keep the game moving, the Options OnDemand PIP Play-call Window will streamline the flow of important information, like player and team stats, instant replay and even Madden Tips, which suggests a feature you haven’t used yet with a video tip explaining it. Think of it as the animated paper-clip thing from Microsoft Office, except it’s MADDEN! You’ll also be able to make substitutions right from the play-call screen or challenge a call with Coach Picture-in Picture.

The less time spent in a pause menu the better. It’ll be interesting to see it in action and how natural everything fits but it sounds like a positive addition. The overall presentation and game flow seem as though they have been heavily focused on for 09.

does anybody else not like that?

also looks like they changed the camera while passing.

They may have moved the scorboard because of the stat overlay graphics that are supposed to be added to the game. I would rather have a bar locked at top. Right now, it feels like I’m looking at a rear view mirror.

Oh and it shows, 1st and 10 on Pittsburgh 33 ; 30 yard rush by Willie Parker. It shows the sequence of the play, it was 1st and 10 on the Pitt 33 then he got a 30 yrd run. It doesn’t make sense because if he was on his own 33 and then ran for 30 wouldn’t it be on the Balitimore’s 55 yrd line, not a TD ?
