I'm highly appreciative of the community involvement that the Madden team is showing and I like a lot of the changes that they have been showcasing. However, this seems like a wasted opportunity.

Our blocking is basically hosed right now (sweet day to do a blog on running)...so I had to shoot around a lot of stuff (meaning tighter shots instead of full gameplay camera). That will come in due time...but I am begging you not to give me any grief on this stuff...I have been so frustrated trying to capture stuff for this blog (spending way more time than should be needed) - so if someone just bitches about there not being enough stuff or some jerk posts a poll about "how disappointing was this blog" I will strike down on that person with a vengeance! ... Or at least add him to my ignore list. It will be up soon.

My own bolding

Missing blocks happens. Believe me i know. But show me a video of someone in the pros, whos assignment is to seal the edge, yet they turn around and try to block someone that is already blocked. I'll garuntee you that guys not in the league or he played for the raiders.

EDIT: Just saw Ians post on how the logic of blocking was screwed up, so no worries for now

Where are the run-support assignments on defense?

Where are the alignment audibles to get my defenders in position to stop this cheeze?

Where are the custom zone coverages to stop the little dink and dunk passes it will produce?

Where are the weapons on DEFENSE to stop the cheeze on offense?

And if I can't have those tools, WHY CAN'T I CREATE MY OWN?

Helmet is still wrong on the dolphins (Im sure they know) and the Dolphins still need the dark blue/teal belts (I think they know too)

But the turn upfield by the tight end is bad, there is no momentum too it he is just able to turn on a dime.
