Pros

1-The Offensive Playbooks for both teams look terrific, lots of variety and new plays that all look like they can be effective. Also the grouping of plays looks spot on.

2-The new Running Animations look great, those little stutter and juke steps look nasty, cant wait for the first time im running up the sideline and get someone with a good pursuit angle to miss with a slight stutter

3-Receiving animations are improved, especially liked the Vikes TD sliding TD catch and Dallas Clark's bobble/alligator arms attempt

4-New passing camera, makes it feel like an entirely new game, a definite improvement

5-Not too many players fell forward when they were tackled

6-Tavaris had some accuracy issues especially when didnt have his feet set

Cons

1-No "real" penalties called, you need some holding and false starts in there somewhere its part of the game to have these things happen a good bit regardless of what the tourney players want

2-You gotta tone down the ability to transition in and out of running animations for some players based on ratings, marvin harrison and reggie wayne were pulling off barry sanders-like cuts

3-Would like to see some push outs rather than wrap-up tackles near the sidelines

4-I don't like how quick you can change your play at the line of scrimmage there needs to be some kind of animation of the QB signaling and calling out the new play, the colts are about the only team in the league able to come to the line and have multiple plays called on a regular basis outside of 2 minute drills

5-the crowd, they need to be more vocal in key spots and need to be quieted when stuff doesnt go the home teams way, they pretty much had one low volume all game long, sounded more like a baseball game

OS Criticisms I Dont Agree With

1-The announcers, outside of 2 incorrect situational comments I thought they sounded pretty good, even Hammond didnt sound as bad as I had anticipated, its not the announcers job to be overly excited about stuff all game long

2-Game Speed, its not too fast, stop whining, looks a tad faster than years past but thats a good thing, football is a split second game, everything seemed fine to me even the QB rollouts, you must not watch football, peyton gets out there pretty fast on stretch plays and designed rollouts in real life
