you cannot, i repeat, * CANNOT wear whites at home *. there's no all-white uniform (to be sold on Xbox Live Marketplace at a later date; no i'm not kidding) and even if you specifically choose AWAY uniforms at home, the skins come out in Darks.

know what team EA is aware wears whites at home? yes thats right, the cowcunts.

the animations have been smoothed out and added to. Portis feels like the electryifing running back he is. i'm a perennial Madden hater, but they should be applauded for how they handled the movement/animations of the players.

that said, the FIELDS LOOK LIKE ASS. yeah they get progressively chewed up as the game goes on, but the texture itself looks extremely Genesis era. the 'grass' is very low-fi zoomed out, day-glo green and it repeats in true 8-bit style.

yeah, i'm a big visuals/graphics guy. its supposed to be 'next-gen' after all.

Skins playbooks are all too familiar. although, there IS a SHOTGUN formation now.

the Redskins 'wallpaper' in the 360 menus is a shot of Ladell Betts? whatever, EA finally paid attention to my favorite part of the actual game (running) so it's a solid 'improvement' considering EA's motivations. yeah Madden is still saying the exact same things from the 90s...

The grass looks awesome on HDTV. Are you playing on a HDTV?

yeah, HD. i dont know, i liked the grass less "detailed" then. it's taken a big step in the computer/pixel direction then the tv/photographic direction. it's less "detailed" in real life is my point.

oh, and i should fix an earlier post. you CAN wear whites at Fedex on the 360 version, you have to pick HOME not away. may depend on who you're playing..
