Madden NFL 11

At least they're patching it back in. I don't get why EA would change it in the first place. Has anyone ever complained about the old system?

I think it all came down to those stats in Ian's blog on why they made those changes. However, as Mark Twain made famous: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." EDIT - I don't think Ian is lying, just saying that I don't think stats tell the whole story sometimes.

I know I'd get 'stuck' once in a while when making pre-snap changes, but they did have the Cancel button showing on the screen. I wonder how many of that 50% were people who started to make adjustments but were unable to due to time - foe snapping the ball. It's cool (though slightly intrusive) that they can look at all those user stats, but sometimes metrics don't tell the whole story and individual decisions need to be made via common sense. If they felt the old system was too much for users, then make a new system the default but have the old one as an option. The decision they made may (or may not) have been helpful for newer Madden players, but it was an unnecessary change for long-time Madden players.
