Are we seeing decent CPU offensive AI for once. I mean, the QB (Palmer is gone, but it's him in the game - still, his ratings aren't that great) actually moves in the pocket some - he reacts to pressure and gets rid of the ball where he should, not forcing a deep ball.

Also, after watching this 100 times in a row, I do see the LE and LB both crash in, yet they disengage back out around the RT coming after Palmer.

Camera looks to have been placed further out in the Madden 25. Also the colors don't quite pop as much in the Madden 25 screen. Not sure if that is better or worse.

I believe the picture from Madden 13 was captured off screen, Madden 25 seems to be from a direct feed.

That is moving too fast for me to break it down, glad you are able to. So are you saying that the LE and LB are doing what they should or what they have always done?

I did notice the LT and DE engaging and the DE keeps coming after Palmer even while being engaged, which is nice to see.

Actually, just watched it over/over some more. What I'm seeing is the DT and LB crashing straight down, then they disengage, kick out around the RT and come after the QB. The LE crashes inward taking the RT with him mostly, and then the LE disengages to the inside to go around the RT after the QB. All this, and the RT does spin around to try and engage the LB coming around the outside (but the camera pans right too fast to see what else could have occurred). That alone is something I've not seen before or to that degree any. That's a big deal and pretty impressive. Maybe it's happened before and I just didn't notice (in M13, which I didn't play much at all). Still...impressive...and much appreciated.

I would have liked to have seen the RE/OLB get more of a push rather than becoming fully engaged but the fact that he's getting upfield, didn't get locked in place and continued to move towards the QB after he was engaged, and would have had the sack had Palmer held on a little bit longer looks promising. It's hard to say how the other side would have worked since the user dropped Miller into coverage but if you can get that sort of look coming from both sides it would be a nice improvement.
