FO's not "in the game." But we're in the game. This interview with Madden ratings czar Donny Moore explains why.

Nice reference guys, Donnie does a good job looking at information from numerous sources AND then checking in with community leaders from respective teams to make sure he has it right. If this game can get updated weekly, Madden 11 should be great!

Coolness. I just hope you guys get some $ (in one form or fashion) for the use of your work.

We get game film from the NFL each week where we are able to watch a play from 4 different angles (minus the commentary and commercials)

cos like, who'd pay for that?

Yeah this really starts to piss me off when I already pay for the NFL's gamepass package (approx $250) and need to pay for satelite to get some games that get blocked from the gamepass package (probably another $250) and they won't bring out a package that lets me actually see what has happened on most plays.

...a 73 speed? I'm not saying he should be a 90, but mobility is a big part of his game. That's not going to translate at all.

If this Madden is anything like previous versions, 73 is on the upper tier of QBs who aren't top-notch scrambling threats. Previously, only QBs like Vick and Young have been in the 80s/90s, and Rodgers is a big step down from that.

It's funny - the interviewer didn't ask him how they developed player attributes for the players in NCAA 11...

I liked the comment at the end about most dominant video game players of all time. Vick in 04 we had to outlaw at my house because he was nigh unstoppable if you knew what you were doing. Then he mentions that CJ2K is set to be the most dominant player ever this year.... Which reflects the fact that we had to ban the vikes and Titans last year because their running backs were unstoppable.
