just like on the playground when you don't have 22 players.
Anyway, the EA rep also shed further light on the passing mechanics, running, and defense (which has never been discussed prior to this interview). AND announced that EA would be hold a press conference at the end of the week where the 2-on-2 mode will be demoed onstage and playable on the floor for press members.
Lastly his dodgy answer to the "online question" is interesting:
Quote
IGN Wii: Great. Any chance we're going to see an online mode for the game this year or is that pretty much out?
Jason Armenise: You know, we really haven't talked about online too much. At this point, we're not talking about it.
Jason Armenise: Is it something that has been ruled out - can you say that? [to the PR lady behind him]
Jason Armenise: I think for now I'm not going to discuss it. Anything that has to do with online, for now no comment.
Dodgy but not dissappointed, which, like other devs answers, leads me to believe the online structure and all its secrets will be made public tommorow. We won't be dissapointed if the developers aren't complaining.
For all his repeated HYPE about "the Wii-Madden won't be missing crossplatform features"...well, buddy, online IS a feature on other sytems. So he basically confirmed his Wii game online (without meaning to, and without stating it explicitly).
Did I mention there's 10 new screens as well?

Having a simplier game for people like me is great.
This article did make me wonder about the Blitz game...and why we haven't heard anything on it. Perhaps at E3 they saw Madden and realized they weren't doing justice to football and the Wii controller.

The game surprised me at e3, and the more I think about it, the more I think that Madden Wii is one of the most important launch games for Nintendo… if not THE most important.
find out why
I agree. Personally, I may only own this game for a few months to perfect my technique. And to my circle of friends this WILL SELL sytems. Afew of them are too scared to buy Wii at launch, so when they play this at my house they'll probably break down and get it.
