I love the difference in acceleration; it sort of reminded me of one of the "other games" from that "other" company. Good work, I hope the next blog is about OL/DL and LB interaction.

Also, please make the LBs and safties line up where they're supposed to. There's no such thing as a ROLB; OLBs either line up on the strong or weak side. The strong safties need to line up on the strong side of the formation.

I think this improvement, perhaps more than anything else (except for potential re-working of OL/DL interaction) that we have seen since the game went to next-gen, is going to have the most fundamental impact on the way that people play the game, and the way that people experience the game.

The Madden '09 route looks like more of a "speed out" that Marvin Harrison has run a lot through the years where the WR doesn't break down as much, they just cut off the inside leg. Mike Martz uses this a lot too.

To me, those should be 2 different routes.

I really like the tidbit about how DB's will track the receivers eyes while in man coverage.

This will give the impression of playing 1 on 1 man defense a much better look IMO. I can't wait to see what they did with OL/DL interaction.

I completely agree...gone are the days of of not putting some thought and strategy into offensive playcalling. I'm curious to see the offensive gameplans that are going to evolve now that Madden 10 is creating a 'Sim' enviornment. I see some true battles on the horizon between sim style players!!

Looks like Ward's speed stat shows the new ratings system a little bit as well.

82 down from 87.... nice
