Good Stuff.
1. Liked the juke and spin moves. Peterson looked very fluid breaking in and out of the tackles.
2. Corners and safetys played less agressively. Went for the knockdown unless they had a good chance of getting the interception.
3. Playbooks looked very nice. Seemed more suited to the individual teams.
4.Kickoffs and punts looked just about the right length.
5.Commentary by Chris seemed accurate.
6. The different camera angles pre-play were inplemented well.
7. Long passes looked much better than 08.
Not So Good Stuff.
1. Offensive line still missed alot of blocks, especially on the outside blitzers.
2. Quarterbacks did seem a little fast when not scrambling.
3. O-line does not seem to block much differently for pass and run plays, although it was better than in 08.
4. Hammond seemed very dull and uncaring.
5. Seemed to be very little interaction between Hammond and Collinsworth. Also seems strange that madden doesnt talk with them during the game.
6. Fan interaction seemed low. The stadium seemed real quiet on the TD plays.
Overall, I like the way it looks so far. Most of the issues in 08 seem to be either eliminated or are no longer a significant issue. Gameplay speed worries me a little. It seemed a bit fast on some plays, and Im not the one holding the ball. Obviously wont know for sure about any of this until I play it myself, but it looks good so far. Keep up the good work!
