I think it would be better said, show the defense winning. I don't want to see the offense fail so much as the Defense beating them. I hate watching the line, FB, and WRs just totally miss blocks or the QB just throw a terrible short pass to a wide open player.

Let's see a defender beating a blocker and applying pressure and those tipped passes and DBs swatting at WR's arms and breaking passes up instead of doing that now infamous "leaping interception/spin/tackle" animation from 09 backwards.

It's all semantics, I know, but having the O fail or the D win are two different ideas to me.

Good luck with next season Ian.

Ian good job. You lost but it was a good game. Also onside note. I am kind of unhappy to keep on seeing people crying over little things. Ian said they started this over a month a go before they did the final tweeks was made. The pass rush is alot better then it shows in this video. Ian already a few weeks back should us a video of the improved pass rush. So people cut Ian and his crew some slack. But know the same people here complaining now will come back and complain again in 2 weeks when they get the alpha build of madden 10 in the demo. But me I trust that madden crew tweeked every thing and it is ready to go in august. Can't wait.

I know I'm late to the party but those stutter steps or jukes on that kick off return were awesome. NCAA doesn't have those anymore this year.

Glad to ear that is not the norm in the game. However I would not think Romo would be able to complete that pass.

Possibly some of my frustration with that play is coming from the Cowboys being very very over rated in Madden 09. They haven't won a playoff game with Romo, yet they are rated in the 90's. Also that play showed me flashes of what I've been dealing with for a year online with Madden 09. Scrambling QB's that can still complete passes with no problem. I just don't think Romo is that good. Just curious, if Romo was wearing a Texans uniform and he'd never won a playoff game, does he still complete that pass?

Oh and Ian for me it's not "never have the offense succeed". It's never have the cowboys succeed.

I am going to be honest and say that I think you are straight up bonkers if you don't think Tony Romo can complete a pass to a receiver right in front of him while rolling to his right. I guarantee I could pull multiple examples of him completing even more difficult throws than that one (but I don't have the NFL software at home right now). These guys aren't high school QB's - they're in the NFL for a reason.
