Holding call in the 2nd video was Awesome!!!

#73 (RG) just tackles the MLB. It was a blatant holding call and looked very real.

Sports game of the year candidate. Vids are looking great!

Alot of good in these videos, thats for sure ! And I am even gonna touch on one that the majority might disagree on.
I really listened to the commentating, to see if I was really missing something...cause I had thought it was ok, and seem to be one of the few that dont think Hammond ruins the game.
On numerous times he used First and Last names...I liked that.
It wasnt just "Lewis on the tackle"...it was "Ray Lewis brings him down". So overall it was play by play, and it still didnt bother me.
Some people say there is to much "dead" spaces with no talking, and there is....but thats when you hear the crowd, sounds from the field...player chatter etc.. ect..
So you have to ask yourself, are you playing the game....or watching it on TV ? Because I think in Madden's case, they are making it a mix of both, and in my opinion it works (even with the old tech)

I think the videos look awesome just one question though: Is "slow" the default game speed or is it like normal or something.

Im getting annoyed seeing all these complaints about running animations and other garbage like Kerry Collins' face isnt right I cant imagine how Ian must feel. Honestly, when you're running a play, instead of reading your blocks are you really going to think "Wow look how he's running this isnt perfect". Its a video game. It will never be perfect especially how bad 09 was i still think 10 has made leaps and bounds. Good job so far Ian

Something that bothers me.

Why do all the players at the line on the punts jump up to block it, this should not be happening they are in NO posistion to block these punts.

I remember that pass. He air-mailed it big time way out the corner of the end zone. 'Twas a thing of beauty. Or should I say 'ugly'?

Did anyone think there were too many holding calls?.... I don't know the average, it just seemed like there were a lot. Contrary to popular opinion I don't really think the sky is falling on the Defense. Most of the points scored were on big plays, Ravens interception for a TD and a 77 yard TD pass, that's 14 of their 21 points. Titans interception for a TD (on what was essentially the last play of the game) a 37 yard TD run by Johnson and a long screen pass to Johnson that went for a TD (I think). That's 21 of Tennessee's 35 points. Keep in mind, despite being held to only 10 points by Baltimore in the playoffs last year the Titans did put up 391 yards of offense. Johnson ran for a 6.5 ypc average on only 11 carries and Justin Gage put up over 130 yards of receiving. The difference in this game was Johnson's speed. I think the defense should have keyed on the outside runs earlier in the game and should have been more conservative in their pursuit angles. Besides for a couple big plays, Baltimore's offense was stagnant and I liked that. Flacco was inconsistent as was Ray Rice. I think Ian only completed around 50% of his passes and I thought the two interceptions he threw were very reasonable. I loved seeing Ed Reed come in and make a big play late in the game.

Bold part: exactly.. I think the defense isn't so bad after all... with a little more conservative approach on pursuit angles and the adaptive AI realizing things a tad earlier... this game should be great.

Yeah. But if Ian were to restart the game as Baltimore, would the results reverse? I just hope every interception isn't a touchdown, and that the CPU Chris Johnson is as effective as the human controlled one. I have my doubts.
