I know what I would like, I would like to adjust my Defense as fast as possible against this, the way it is now we will get killed by this, on CG I can set up my D right after breaking the huddle and be done before the QB gets under center, not so on NG...

The Wild Cat looks awsome also, I'll be useing it.

Well I didn't have any interest in the Wildcat formation, so the blog was not my cup of tea. However, I was hoping that I would at least get a glimpse of the game running with the normal gameplay camera. I understand why Ian shot the videos so tight, but it's disappointing nonetheless. I'll wait for next monday I guess.

Thank you Ian for the blog updates the game is really shaping up to be something special.
Does this mean we will get the "Pro-Tak" blog next monday?

RUNNING ANNIMATIONS LOOK SICK

One thing I do like is that Ian and co. caught on to one of the more important aspects of the wildcat, the unbalanced line.

And to not give props to Ian/Team at this point is simply incredulous. Wow! EA guys....thanks for the hard work as I for one believe you are pouring your blood, sweat, tears into this one for us....and WITH us. We realize (most of us, at least) it's not going to be a perfect game, but it's looking like a HUGE improvement over anything we've seen for the past 4 or so years. Thanks and Thanks again.

I approve this message...

They might have band-aided them in for passing plays, but from the runs I saw they're still missing for run defense.

That is a glaring hole if that's the case when the game ships. I know that they were heavily emphasized when Ian first started soliciting community involvement, so it will be a huge disappointment if they aren't added.

The defensive line needs to be able to dictate double teams based on penetration and scheme. Without it, we are still stuck in the same rut -- 8-9 man fronts being the only way to stop the run.

Looks great! There is one thing I would like to call to attention and that is the diving animation in the last video at the goal line. It looked like the same dive we've had forever, where he reaches for the pylon as he does an Arnold "Get to the Choppa!!!" dive and roll.
It has always been my opinion that that animation triggers far too frequently in pylon diving situations. I want to see more of the "think skinny reach" that ballcarries do so frequently now as they pull their arms to their sides while reaching towards around the pylon and try to tip-toe inside it at the same time...

this is hard to explain...

I see done a lot among RB's on goal line sweeps. I tried to find a vid but failed miserably. hope you understand what I'm getting at.
