I liked the RC getting broke up play, the animation was nice.

Panther logos on the field, one large screen on the scoreboards, LED banners on both sides, BofA logos on the corners above the lower level seating, and shorter tunnels with seats behind them. Awesome. All these things add up to a more authentic experience being a Panther's fan. Hopefully all of the stadiums got some much needed attention to detail.

A-men, also noticed that they fixed the jerseys so when a guy goes sleevless the shoulder stripe does not continue under his arm... it's not a big deal, but when you're a die-hard Panthers fan who plays as the Panthers 99% of the time it's something that bugs you.

i really like the stadium ambience...the music sounding kind of muffled gives it that added realism

OL/DL still needs work...tackles are a bit better, i see some momentum in there...i dunno why but i really didnt pay much attention to the gameplay...i just heard how great the stadium sounds lol guess im an audiophile...

Crowd sounds much improved! As one poster mentioned though the DE- FENSE chant has to last all the way through the snap of the ball though

-Stadiums sound improved
-Gameplay looks much smoother
-Overall the little details such make it look and feel more like real football
-But the tackles need to be cleaned up...players need weight and momentum, i mean for everything from shifting, cutting, jumping, actual tackle pileups/second hits, on & on...damn this engine...anyways
Total package looks so much better to me...hope the final build looks and feels as good as this promises, if not better

Like the vids but would still like to see more pressure from front 4.
Hopefully we'll get some pressure vids soon especially showing DE's getting a fast rush up the field and not always getting blocked right at snap.

Love this time of year!

Is the new run blocking AI implemented in this Alpha video? At this point I am not certain why Ian would want to post Alpha video since it probably isn't the best representation of the product.

As a gamer with average skills and limited Madden practice the run blocking is something that frustrated me to no end. Getting to the outside, following a blocker only to have said blocker run right past the first defensive player in the way is the main reason I traded in last year's copy. I really hope they got it correct for this year's game.

The point the QB gets hit needs to affect the trajectory of the ball if he is hit as he throws, just like in APF. That would really add to the realism.

You know this does happen in Madden right? In fact, it happened too much last year and most of the community complained. Ended up having it tuned in a patch.
