Fat chance. :y4:

EA hasn't gotten that smart yet.

even as a madden guy i found that funny

Answer: (Pick one)

-The same thing all other defensive backs will be doing.
-The same thing the DB's did in Madden 2004.
-Showing you the power of the Xbox360 with Tiburon at the helm.

I'm just having some fun with this...

Don't worry, they'll have that fixed in next year's version.

Just saw this... to be fair, it seems like he's covering his man. I'm actually glad he's still covering his man.. that means the DB's react to the play, not have the "god-like" knowledge and turn around as soon as you hit the button to make the pass!

Maybe EA was able to program the exact tendencies of the actual player. On more than one occasion, while watching the Cards play, I've caught myself wondering WTF is he doing!

I'm fine with the player models but for the record, Lloyd is pretty skinny and actually probably could be mistaken for a college or high school player. If you're talking about him specifically then he's probably a bit thick, but if he's in a range of players that gets that body type shown then I think it's a pretty good size.

As for the DB, I think it goes without saying (any more) that he's not lowering his shoulder for a tackle there. He's not close enough to be in tackle animation, not looking at the WR considering the distance, not taking the right angle to tackle and looks to be running the same way he would be if he were still chasing the WR (the WR that's now jumping toward him, btw). No biggie though, we're still playing video games and will be reminded of it many times I'm sure. The worrisome thing is the gameplay effect of him clearly not making any play at all on the ball.
