So the CPU takes control of your QB for the first few steps after snapping the ball? I don't know if I like that.

It makes passing harder because you have to anticipate and lead, and that's a good thing. However, I can see how some people who are used to the old Madden passing mechanics will think that it's broken and way too slow.

You are spot on here. I was EXCITED when I read their complaints about pass speed. That's realistic, pass speed in Madden was far too fast in my opinion. We definitely want control over variable touch passes, anticipation, and leading passes like you mentioned. We should all be happy to read this. Good information!

Edit: Just read Ian's comment... lol I can understand their complaint.

Play Madden 09, record it, and play back at 90% speed.

LOL I'm hoping Madden 10 footage will look a little bit better than that.
