Don't know. My plan may be ruined though. I had planned to run a lot of TE Wide/Golden retriever, with the other TE on the line with Heap, Pitta, Dickson, but if they are going to get stone-walled by CB's and they can't use their height and bodyweight/strength advantage against them that's going to be weak. I want to run 3 TE sets, with one on the line, one in the slot and one out wide. That should be monster. But not in this game. CB just press someone a lot larger than him and push him around or stonewall him like nothing.

Agreed LB. Just saw the video on live. The gameplay as a whole looked great. But the WR getting jammed at the LOS like that by the CB was kind of ugly. Why don't you are one of the CD people send a message to Ian pointing this problem out. So Ian and his crew can tune this a little bit better before it goes gold. But other then that. The gameplay looks good.

I'm not sure what needs to be done in this area can happen right now because then the WR will probably always get open easy because there really is no technique played by the CB's. It may be programmed but it doesn't work out well. This was one of the big reasons the game's physics was scaled back last year. Last year on CD, I had a 3 catch 139 yd 2 TD performance with Yamon Figurs because the physics caused the CB's to not be able to respond to cuts well at all. It was a huge problem. I have communicated A LOT of things. But I don't think the things I've communicated in this area are going to make it. Run blocking did, so I'm happy with that part.

Is the timing in the passing game any better, or is the QB still finished with his drop before the WRs make any cuts?

To me in the videos clips I saw on the video it did look like the passing was better from last year. But of course these video clips was most likly played on rookie are pro. How the passing looks on higher levels like on all pro and all madden is hard to tell without video of it. But so far the passing to me looks good for now.
