Its Here!!

man im checking my progression now. there isnt a lot of change. im assuming thats partially because there was progressoin three times during the year. but i had to tell you about cooley. hes a 78 already, and he didnt go up at all in the end of the season progression. he had 39 receptions and still went up 9!

...the only player that made the probowl was jansen......

haha. i was just reading the storylines in my local newspaper. and it was talking about how players are scared to be named on the madden cover. its cute they put that in there.

thanks for all that info Canes.

i just brought my copy home and UGH. my first reaction is, what did they do to it???

the LOD (Level Of Detail, the model detail/texture reduction that happens when players are a certain distance away) is HORRENDOUS. the players are 'popping' constantly! their facemasks and shoulder pads keep changing in front of your eyes!! the muscle textures on the big players are laughable, looks like PS1!!

and maybe it's my xbox, but the flow is really jumpy. its not slowdown, its just the players will have superfast animations then suddenly go into slow animations all of sudden. no inbetween. goes and back and forth like they're changing gears. its strange.

im comparing to '04, not ESPN.

you're right Canes, Madden DID add that cut animation!! maybe its Portis, but it goes by too fast, same with the Spin. it happens superfast then goes to the normal speed run. what gives...

thats weird. my guess is its yoru xbox. im playing on ps2 and the animations are definitly smoother, along with the players graphics. you can see their muscles more and their jersyes look better than 04. those are weird complaints of yours. do the nintendo trick, blow in your xbox. hehe

coolest thing. i was just about to type taht i dont like the new cut animation. mainly because it makes it harder, lol. but then i sent to do it, the guy hit me while i was doing it and portis acutally put his hand down to catch him self. it was freaking awesome. acutally looked real.
