havent really noticed super LB, actually just hit a pass up the middle where the LB had his back turned, no magic eyes in the back of the head.

I think 1 thing that reduces Super LBs is the ability to decrease Defensive reaction. I seen slower reactions to passes and rushes.

Just saw something very cool. Rodgers (CPU) threw a deep ball to Jordy Nelson..who then ran onto it..i managed to chase him down, and strip the ball out on my own one yard line. Briggs recovered it and then Nelson just lay there with his hands on his head, motionless for about 5 seconds. The camera just cut to him and it looked so awesome! I wasn't able to capture it live obviously but his animation is in the replay, check it out. The little things make all the difference.

What difficulty was this on? I'm concerned that there are too many big plays on both defense and offense. The Bears went almost the entire length of the field on 4 plays. Both the running and passing looked to explosive. On defense, Rodgers had 0 time to throw the ball, horrible O-Line blocking.

Jay Cutler runs like he is Vick. His speed is wayy too high

Pro. I also played it on all pro and was still able to hit some big pass plays and run the ball effectively but also threw 2 picks to super lb urlacher lol.

Gameplay wise, I think with a good slider set this year Madden is really going to be a blast with all the new presentation features.

No blocking, no lanes, no realism. -Defenders don't jostle for the ball. I don't know if this is accounted for in traits, but what defender stands in front of a receiver (not running), waits for him to catch it then tackles him? -Poor playcalling. If they really wanted to speed up games, they'd fix gameflow. At this point Gameflow loses you games, end of story. -It's dumb to play this game on All-Pro or higher. The game knows which play you call and the only way to really move the ball is to audible every play, which just takes the fun out of it. If I run 3 plays in a row for significant gains, I should get them to bite on a PA pass. But they know the playcall before I line up. That's all for now.

Thats pretty it for me too. These flaws are just too glaring and can't believe its even in the game. I'm buying tho hoping these get fixed.
