Find it funny the jumbo-trons say "block that kick" which is not really possible in Madden.

-They have several hundred facial scans.
-Replays track the ball more realistically.
-Pass rush is pretty good on both sides(HUM and CPU).
-Camera switching on the fly is real smooth.
-Plenty of dropped passes.
-Lapses in coverage seem pretty good.
-Does seem like slants are opening up after they cross each other and reach the 10-12 yard mark and the other side of the field. Has been open nearly every time.
-Camera cannot be changed on the fly if playing same console co-op.
-Seeing a good amount of stat banners, but like said before, they do disappear rather quickly.
-Each coach has unique bodies and details in their outfits. No longer do they have turtle like traps(shoulder muscles).
-Throws are off target in a good fashion. They aren't being thrown at defenders or receivers only. It seems like most incompletions are missing everyone altogether. It might be a coincidence, but it almost seems like they are being placed in areas that WR's will only be able to reach instead of just being off target at random locations. Lots of routes on the outer half having the ball being overthrown into the sidelines limiting interception opportunies and preserving possession.
-Despite all of the new cameras and replays, the post play cameras are still kind of ugly. For example you still get that same Madden zoom in on the ball after an incompletion. More of a small complaint, but it gets older after it being that way every year. Also seems like the ball dies after a bounce or two and looks bad.
-Terrible AI behind the CPU offense at the end of the half. No timeouts, 10 seconds left, they throw a pass in the middle of the field 5 yards away from the endzone. Should have taken the FG to make it 6-7, instead ran out of time.
-Halftime show is short and basic. Shows off a few plays, generic commentary about it and has a ticker showing stats on the bottom of the screen.

Halftime show...very very basic

I appreciate the effort, but the halftime show was still underwhelming for me. It isn't as polished as the halftime show of a recent game that was developed by a competitor and released in 2007...

What is going on before the halftime show stats are shown. It shows Brown dancing, some guys laying on the ground.

Still no commentary for the stats.

Highlights are still short and dont show the whole play

Some highlights didnt have audio attached

Still not much approved over the E3 version. Not sure why they would hype it up on the broadcast
