- Didnt see an issue with that. The safety play was solid in the run and on pass in the time I played.

- Didnt control the MLB.

- No but it still concerns me a little. From watching and playing the game, I didnt see any abilities that made me think they were impossible to stop. With that said, the beta will give us more time to see if they are op.

- The running game feels GREAT. Me and the guy I played against loved it so much that we were pausing the game to comment on how smart the blocking was on run plays. The only issue is that I had to call run blitzes in order to consistently stop the run. My guys werent good enough to slow down the run with just using my front four and my LBs reacting. That could be a good think or bad thing.

- Liked the RPOs alot. My only issue was that sometimes the actions of my players didnt match the play call. For example, I called an RPO with Jackson and faked the run to Ingram. My WR was supposed to run a route thatb only went 5 yds but the actual route he ran was actually 10. I completed the pass but that threw me off.

- Really the run game was the biggest positives. The biggest negatives was actually all of the presentation cuts like no longer seeing players walk up to the line. It actually is a HUGE problem when you call no huddle because the time doesnt go off of the clock. For example, you have 1:30 in the game and call no huddle, the screen will switch to your team being ready for the snap.....with 1:30 still being on the clock. There was no runoff.

I'd agree with that statement.

Didnt play enough to answer that question.

Aholbert,

Not sure what speeds you’ve tried before but does it feel like last years default, slow, fast?

I usually go with slow and this was clearly faster than slow but not too fast. It felt realistic to me. Others may prefer that it is slowed down a little but I was fine with it.

from the gameplay footage, I thought the speed of the game, the player animations, looked smoother than 19. Looked like the players were playing with purpose; which would make any coach happy.

The OL line looked smarter, I even recall a play were a lineman turned towards teh QB and ran towards the defensive player that was free and threatening the QB.

From someone that was at EA Play:

Player movement is super smooth from what Ive played. Just a completely different game and its something everyones gnna have to get used to. I can tell this is going to be a great game. Super excited for this year

I feel like that is said literally every year.
