Leading a pass could be effective if the WR is smart enough to react to the ball, but so can a DB. Tipped passes could make throwing over the middle a dangerous proposition, and short QBs a little less desirable than a 6,7 one. Releasing the ball from the character should open up small thing such as fumble recoveries too. I think that is something we need to see from EA now that we are on next gen. NBA live is doing it so I see no reason for Madden to not follow suit ASAP. This is the whole benefit of ignite, is it not? Sharing tech between sports titles.

Hopefully this would make WRs run though the ball and dive correctly. Right now they sometimes speed up to purposely run through the ball or slowdown so the dive and doesn't overshoot the ball.

Yup that would be the hope. Of course, in theory it may sound awesome but it's all in the execution.

Is every blade of grass going to fix defense in this game? Im really upset with EA and the job they have done with Madden. All the money they make all these years and they still make a good football game

Exactly.

Looks like I'll be passing on next-gen Madden just like I did with current-gen.

Speed it up in real time and let's really see how the game plays!!!!

That's exactly how I feel too. Graphics matter, but when it comes to Madden, I really couldn't care less about the visuals at this point.

As long as they continue to keep making a bad on-the-field product, then I couldn't give two you-know-whats about what the jerseys do when the players move or how many extra blades of grass there are.

EA just doesn't get it at all. GAMEPLAY is what we've been asking for, not accurate wristbands and tattoos.

Some of the decisions made by EA boggles my mind. For example, why did they have tattoos on mouthpieces on PS2 and then take them out on PS3? Moreover, it took them like 4 maddens to add clear visors on current Gen Madden. Most NFL players wear clear visors not those stupid jet black ones they used to put on everybody. It looks like the finally fixed the dreads although I hope they have different lenghts. Finally, all madden players play the same. I'm not trying to compare games, but in NBA 2k, every player feels different with their own moves and unique set of animations particular to that player. In Madden, you get into situations where Joe Flacco looks like Joe Montana and Darren Sproles looks like Adrian Peterson.

Ya know, as much as I hate how they handle this game in how it plays... They have built some BEAUTIFUL stadium models.

Seems to be something EA always does extremely well across the board.
