Upcoming football community event

As mentioned yesterday there are a couple of community events taking place in the near future. The first one covers the three football games as NCAA Football 09, NFL Head Coach 09, and Madden 09 will all be available for significant hands-on time. There will also be some presentations and producer interaction taking place. This will be held next Thursday and Friday (5/29-30) with travel days buffering.

When it comes to the subject of embargoes this is how it will likely shape up. NCAA will be wide open for discussion for obvious reasons. Head Coach should be wide open as well given that essentially everything there is to be known about the game has been revealed. When it comes to Madden though I suspect that we will be held back on a few of the features that have not been made public. Still though there should be a ton to talk about right away including general impressions of the game and majority of the features. There is even the potential of holding a live blog at some point during my time out there.

While I will be concentrating mostly on Head Coach and Madden, there is a good opportunity to spend at least some time with NCAA to compare the most recent build to what was played late last month. I should be able to communicate any adjustments or changes that have been made which really can only be done through the feel of it. Both myself and Chris Jacobs from NCAA Strategies should be able to give that perspective on the game and how it has progressed.

This will be another chance to give input and hopefully see that reflected in the release versions as Madden and Head Coach are still early enough that feedback could be considered and acted on.

As always feel free to leave comments on what you would like to hear back on. I can’t guarantee that everything will be gotten to but I do take the suggestions and requests into consideration.

For all three games:

1. Export a team
minor for some people, but if you play franchise modes it is a fun thing to use the team you built online, against friends, etc. instead of just having them in your franchise.

2. Progression details
Could you find out any details on player progressions for the games. Also important for some people who play franchise modes.

Thanks

I’m curious about in-game saves; yes or no?

I’m also interested to know if there will be more randomness to the weather; more wind, etc. And, will something like wind effect the passing game?

There are so many questions, but here’s a simple one:

Does Madden 09 have a halftime show?

Madden 08 had that strange, poorly conceived highlight list. Hopefully, that’s gone.

if its possible can they make it so that u can save your roster once u have downloaded updates for the roster during the season. cause i had the saints and they change some lineups on the wr and whenever i played i had to change my wr around to how i like them.
