Wow, way more penalties and lots more missed passes. Could this be an indication that EA listened to the guys who went to the event in New York?

Damn, if it wasnt for that damn line play I would be so hyped...Sick of seeing the QB drop 20yrds & then break right or left to no defense anywhere in sight. uugh

At the end of the video we saw that the FSU vs Florida game was on Varsity though.

I didn't see that. I saw a few penalties (which is a nice improvement from default penalties of last year) and a very few overthrown balls, but still a large number of passes that were on the money despite being thrown while scrambling or despite being thrown into tight coverage.

To EA's defense why waste time on building a new blocking system if only 10% of gamers use it. I dnt blame them ne more. I bet more people play mascot games. Silly hardcore football gamer

Not bad at all. On the FSU Florida game on the left, I saw a few really nice things. There was one play where there was a perfect pocket. Also it seems the defense was pretty smart in flowing to the ball. But it was head to head, we'll see if the CPU AI is as smart. But he wasn't controlling them all. Also I saw some really nice pans from in the crowd down onto the field level. Nice touch. There does seem to be a lot more atmosphere in the stadium this year. This is the first video that I've seen that gives a bigger picture of the whole deal.

Steve do you know anything about Bowl Presentation? Is there a special boost for the bowls, especially BCS and National Title Game? I know you didn't play it. Just wondering if the producers said anything about it. Big Concern of mine....But so far, back on board to purchase. Maybe they'll slow down the break-away plays a little before release....Thanks so much, Steve!

Did anyone else when they heard the guys arguing?

And yes...it seems that every video I've seen involves some geek who knows little to nothing about football OR someone who likes the traditional "sim" style of drop back 20 yards, rollout 30 yards, and throw a 60 yard bomb.

Yeah, I'm worried about that a little. But the pocket did form a few times. Now the D-line have to be able to break off their blocks into pursuit. But I'm still encouraged. Only thing I find funny is that these so called experts on Madden and NCAA are just cheesers. Not a bit of realistic gameplay out of any of them.......
