Sounds good, Finally a suitable Pregame show. Everything sounds pretty good...

It's pre-beta...so it could very well be the build that Donny and Josh played on for their thread...it's nice to see "most realistic football ever..." but based on 09...that isn't hard. I now find myself distrustful of everything they have been saying...seems like typical EA style...it's weird that my faith in the game can be shaken by one preview but...them's the breaks.

Yeah, they are all tuning issues. The thing about it though is that the new slower game speed made it very easy to pick apart zones in the CD build. That's why, while the game is slowed down, the Dline and blitzers must not be slowed down.

''But honestly, I didn't feel it much in my demo with a pre-beta build. I was able to still hold back on the left stick and run away from my offensive line before flinging a pass thirty yards to a receiver. I never got sacked and rarely felt pressure from the outside like the new pocket design intends''

I know it is a work in progress, however this must not be in the game...

Yeah, your right, I will change that, thanks for the heads up.

I just think it's premature at this stage to make any decision off of one preview.

Disappointing to hear that the camera options are still completely broken at this stage. The stuff about the pocket did not sound very promising, either.
