When I did feel pressure the controller rumbled to let me know that defenders were breathing down my neck.

First heard for me and I think that it's a nice little addition. I hope that it is tied into the QB's awareness somehow.

Yeah exactly. They only captured two QB signature animations: Peyton & Brady . They didn't capture Warner, Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Marc Bulger, (just a few quick ones I remember off the top of my head) not to mention unique kicker animations.

Sarcasm by the way...I know it doesn't exactly read as sarcastic.

Encouraging read. I'm ready for some gameplay video!

I was able to still hold back on the left stick and run away from my offensive line before flinging a pass thirty yards to a receiver. I never got sacked and rarely felt pressure from the outside like the new pocket design intends.

Sounds great.

Wondering this though in terms of the new pocket avoidance system...
Is it off on default for rookie and pro? I ask because much of the press stuff has the game set to pro and also becuase I doubt that most of the people who play on those difficulty levels would like it...

Not true. Every QB I played with had his own even Troy Smith, who was a back up. Now I'm not saying all back ups do, but even Smith did.

well, 2k8 didn't have that many different throwing styles either. i know marino and elway had signature animations, randal cunningham had his QB evade moves, and the 1940s passers had the retro throwing style, but thats about it. you're telling me ea sports tiburon is going to sport EVERY starting quarterback's throwing style in ONE year?

They do.
