Yes, I'm aware this isn't 'real' sport per se, but if your a Madden junkie like me, you'll shudder at all the information in this preview. August, get here damnit!

Although I don't like this new mulligan feature. Dumb. Mulligans don't even belong in golf, never mind other sports.

I'd like it for games where I'm trying something out and I mess up, so I can try the same situation again. Gives me more experimental value. I'd hate it for head to head against a friend or franchise, but for just testing things a mulligan could be useful

Mulligans are dumb but a friend of mine made a good point. In head to head games if there is a play where the game glitches you could use a mulligan to keep the game fair so the computer doesnt give someone a competetive balance.

Didn't even think of that -- that actually happened to me last night ("phantom" call). Excellent point.

very true...like the challenge system...now they purposely make mistakes so you have to challenge it...which was terrible because half the time you'd clearly see the guys toe out on a catch, but the computer wouldn't call it...

God i hate that so much...

FYI, it doesn't work online (mulligans)

The Challenge system is awful on madden. I had a challenge where a WR took about 4 steps in bounds before being knocked out, and it was still ruled incomplete

I live right near the highway where they sent fifteen helicopters to follow him from the hospital to his home down the Cape. I love the guy to death for what he's done for the military, but the whole helicopter thing was a bit too O.J. for me. None the less, I wish him well and hope he does well in his recovery.

why is everyone bitching about challenges? and why do you want everything to be prefect, the real nfl refs aren't even close to perfect so why would you care in a video game, its like real football just play and shut up its the same for everyone
