They're extremely robotic, they lack any kind of fluid motion, they accelerate too fast and rarely decelerate. I know this was addressed by Ian in one of the blogs, but I wanted to know how the guys felt about it now that they've seen it in motion.

Agreed not a fan of most of the animaations just happened to see a new one. That said same thing happened in 2k5 and i've played that game loads

Can you please elaborate (without breaking NDA of course)?

Still gotta wait for them to put up the OL vs DL blog, but I can comment that this was one thing I sent heavy feedback on in terms of a pocket. The OLB's were running too far inside and hence even when you sent both from the outside, there was no pocket at all. Unlike the 4 man line defenses where the DE's were getting up the field and forming a pocket although too slow for my taste. So I emphasized the OLB's running the arc and like the DE's in the 4-3, they should be on the same level as the QB when he reaches his final step in his drop, unless they are doing a spin move back inside or something. We'll have to wait to see on this one, but I need it since it is my favorite D.

Hey Adam, many thanks to you (and the rest of the gentelmen) for taking time out of your day to entertain our questions.

You probably can't answer this, and if that's the case feel free to ignore this post, but do you get the feeling that Madden'10's franchise mode will come close to rivaling what we saw in NFL Headcoach'09?

Thanks again.

Elaborating will cause me to break it. Sorry.

question for the Elite 8...

Are you guys going back at some point to see the results of your feedback or do you have to wait until you get the retail? I understand if this can't be answered.
