Thumbs up Re: Full game w/ EA Designers (Colts vs. Vikings)

Great vid, especially since my Colts won. Okay, on to business now.

The Good
1. The strip ball animations look good, you can really see the defender going for the strip

2. Collinsworth sounds great, his commentary is flowing within the game and is very elaborate, unlike Madden's short comments in the past.

3. This is minor, but when the game was paused while Collinsworth was talking, then un-paused he was still talking. Most games interrupting speech will stop the whole comment all together.

4.Gang tackles look pretty good

5. Dallas Clark dropped a ball in the 3rd and the defender made him pay big time!!! Can we stop abusing my man Dallas in vids EA lol.

6. The draw play ran early in the game looked great, just a very very bad decision to bounce it outside.

7. I love the pick by Bob Sanders at the end and the broken tackle. It looked like he was going to take it back to house. This was definitely not something you could do in past Madden games. The defender would have taken Bob down right away.

The Bad

1. QB Mechanics need work

2. Don't really like how tackles are occurring out of bounds

3. O-Linemen are jumping all over the place like they're Lebron to avoid other players

4. The one pass to Dom Rhodes in the flat(3rd quarter) was way too high. I really hope that was an unintentional lob and not a bullet pass.

5. This may be kind of minor, but LB Victor Worsely(#51) is light skin not dark as shown in the video. If I found this, it's possible there are other players that may need to be looked at.

6. Some players bodies need work. For example Tony Ugoh is a very athletic looking LT, yet he looks so chunky in the game.

For the most part, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Keep up the good work EA!!!
