Going back and watching the video knowing that the "interviewer" wasn't paying any attention to Ian makes it pretty hilarious. Ian keeps glancing over to see if the guy has decided to stop being a jackass...and then you can tell by Ian's reaction that he's still not paying any attention. Props for still going through it lol.

Anyway the game looks great. I like the new idea for catching with the circle getting smaller as the ball gets closer sort of like the outfield in an MLB game. On long plays you'll be able to time your catch much better even though you can't see the ball. Hopefully that means you have to be more accurate to make the catch and no more holding the button.

I know that there have been OL/DL improvements made, and the game speed has been slowed to facilitate running, but it still looked like the play got blown up too soon, and there was still the same silly, slow "hop-juke" at play, and the holes still didn't seem to materialize as well as they should.

Yea, this is exactly what I felt as well! Madden pisses me off in this area. It always seems like you only have 1 millisecond to examine the field before everything collapses into a mess in front of you. And it doesn't seem to be fixed with the slower gameplay.

I'm not asking for the running play to develop holes EVERY time, but I just want the blocking to be more logical so I can sift through the line with more precision. It would also be nice if your RB extended his arm to an OL/FB in front of him so you could be guided through the mess (not this play, but in other plays).

Right now it looks like the same old suction blocking that apex was talking about earlier year.

I honestly wasn't expecting it to be fixed (because it was so horrific to start out with), but it would have been nice if it looked better.

Ian should've just kept rewinding/replaying that first tackle all interview after he saw the guy not paying attention...keep talking about the game like you've gone into a different play or mode...but just keep moving the pile in that replay...would've made for an interesting interview..but probably would've made EA look bad, not GT.

Did anyone else notice the foot on the Steelers sideline moving while the game was paused?

Ummm....I play humans too. Also, if the assignments are like they were on PS2, then the DB only follows the WR when the defense is playing man. Finally, if teams play like their real counterparts, as the ea guys have said they do, there will be some teams that don't line their best CB up against the best WR. The Raiders CB's, for example, sometimes line up on the same side of the field regardless of where the no.1 WR is lined up at. It just depends on the team their up against. Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread or nothing.... I just wanted to convey my deepest wish to have the defensive players names shown.

I sure hope Ian reads this and somehow sneaks it in there.
