On the Chris Johnson breakaway TD run , I thought i was watching the video in slow moiton or something. He took forever to get to the endzone. The arm swaying is too dramatic also. NFL RB's dont swing their arms like that when they're runnning through the first level of defenders , c'mon ! Please EA fix the running animations!

This game was played on "Slow" game speed.

Anything you liked?

One thing I noticed so far in the first vid is the AI. On Ian's first drive he ran Johnson to the outside a few times and it was pretty much open everytime. On Ian's next drive when he tried the same running play the Ravens D was all over it with the quickness. I thought initially though that the ILB didn't react fast enough to the lineman pulling. An ILB in a 3-4 should love when OL pull. Its the easiest read to make.

I wish they would get rid of the cut blocking on special teams. It's illegal and shouldn't be on the game.

Thanks a lot, Ian. I think there are quite a few things to work on for Madden 11, particularly with O-line-D-line interaction. And it's hard to judge how good pass coverage is from the video alone. I'll have to wait to play it. That said, there are a lot of things that look really good, and overall the game looks fun. With you in charge, I'm loving the focus on sim-style gameplay and I'm confident in the direction the game will head under your lead. I haven't bought Madden since 06 on the PS2, and I'm buying this year.

Im in the middle of the 2nd vid. I will say that I like the way the man coverage looked on the Foxworth pic. Last year the CB could never pull off something like that in coverage. I like how the Ravens D adjusted to your tosses. Couple nit picks: the Ravens fans have an adverse reasction to the pic 6, pass rush could be more present and kickoff's were wide open. The CPU still snaps a little too quick but not to huge a deal. Overall I like a lot of what I see. Tackle animations look natural and strong

The tackling
The cutscenes/ Presentations
The player models. ( Lendale White looked rail thin though)

I just wish those strides get sped up more.
And the arm swaying to be less over the top.
