Yes. Strafing wasn't a big help, to be honest. It's more about ratings now... Larry Fitzgerald is going to kill you, Bryant Johnson, not so much.

None. That's illegal in the NFL now.

Wrap swats have made a huge difference.

Was never able to rocket catch at all.

Most of the time, yes, but I wouldn't say perfect CB technique has necessarily been programmed in. They initially go to the right place, but as the play progresses, it becomes more of a cat and mouse game. Of course, this is partly due to protection being too good at times.

No

Ward absolutely slaughtered me as DRC in one game. Just destroyed me.

Another OL/DL question, man, can't get into it.

Lol, the iso play with pass blocking. No, they fixed that.

Despite using the 49ers, I don't use the SF playbook, so I don't know.

Don't know.

Get back to me on pursuit questions... there was a big bug that prevented us from seeing how good the pursuit was or was not for the most part.

I'm not following...

Now I can make crazy motion plays like my rb could be lined up inside of my wr like they are the same person. Depending on the play i could get some really wild motions.

Again, not following you...

any man not kid who played football in Hs or college knows what real football is. we all know that 2k is real football. but these guys are happy over a picture when we all know that the guys are not going to be as big as the first 2k game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGar8CKdfw0

but if they were then yes lets get happy. but you need a big tv to see every thing in that picture. every year they put out a picture and then come out with bad game play. Nfl teams dont go for it on 4th down and 10 or 15 they punt

its the little things real players see that need to be changed but EA was smart to get madden heads and say their 2k guys

[Nature_Boy]

Glad to see the thread is back on track. Thanks to all the guys who went to the CD and are sharing as much info as they can. Keep it coming....

[StevieTheD]

adembroski (or anyone else who fiddled around with franchise),

I know you can't get into too many details, but were you pleased with the improvements/changes to franchise? How'd they compare to your expectations (for that matter, what were your expectations)?

[Megatron2k7]

Did any of you guys who went have any feedback for Donny on the player ratings you saw ? I know you can't go into specifics on any ratings you saw..... I was just curious about whether or not any of you saw a few ratings that you debated with Donny about.

I always thought they had a team of guys, or at least a few guys working on player ratings. It seems like a lot of work for just Donny to do. I have faith in Donny, but he's only human. It has to be hard for him to remain unbiased with every single player. IMO it would be better if there were at least a few guys to brainstorm on the ratings and average them out in cases where they didn't agree.

If you asked a question in here about what a player should be rated, you know as well as I do that we'd see a pretty big debate about it. That's why it seems like such a tough job for just one person.
