There are a bunch of new previews up after a community day yesterday, and they all report a few positives:

- The option is much more realistic. No longer can QB's make great pitches while going down in the grasp of a defender.

- The game is more defensively oriented than a month ago. 14-3 and 21-3 scores aren't uncommon.

- A large expansion to most team's playbooks. Some teams run over 20 formations.

- No transfer kit needed for rosters. If you know the gamertag of someone who has rosters on the web, you can enter it and download directly to the console.

- Running game is improved from last year.

- Interceptions seem a bit more toned down.

Some negatives:

- CPU still quicksnaps.

- Short passing game is too effective, particularly passes to the RB's in the flat. (I think QB accuracy being turned down for both sides will be one of the necessary tweaks.)

- Too many big kick and punt returns are happening.

- Pass rush is weak unless you blitz.
