If a WR is going to be doubled, everyone knows it before the huddle is broken.

Its only a quick press of the analog stick up....And actually, in the past on the current gen you could hot route your safety to double team but you could also make it so that he didn't run over there until the ball was hiked.....Just like you could keep your corners on the outside when the opponent came out in goal line...I understand what you're saying but it doesn't take very long to do the basic coverage audibles....Now, when you have to actually click on a player and then choose what you want him do, I agree that takes time and thats what you'll have to do to double team....

All that's good and well but only if EA changed the way the CPU runs thier O. Right now you barely have time to get on the man you want to control before the ball is snapped..

I'll still have the game day one but I'm not expecting it or touting it to be the "great" game some think it is.

Honestly, I don't think you are in the minority that think Madden doesn't look good. I've never seen so much apathy towards Madden like this year. I don't mean the usual anti-Madden stuff but rather people are just getting Madden fatigue.

And EA isn't dropping the "killer features" for the game. That's the most disappointing part. What are they doing with the 100 million Madden takes in?
