Some more vids for the fellow madden heads

Good question

The only way I could kinda see them being a 1 bar is if they are switching to a primarily man coverage scheme now that Dungy isn't the coach anymore.

I like the fact that a lot of dumb passes are being picked off, but I'm still concerned with LB's having hands of glue. That was a big issue in '09, and I've read some grumblings about this from others who've played '10. I hope that get's straightened out.

I also love that they break the huddle and walk to the line in plain view. It's very consistent, and not since another game last gen has it been this good. But the ONE thing I dislike, is that almost every time the huddle-break scene is shown the players seem to be nodding their heads and looking down all funny. I wonder if something could've been done to edit that? I know they've been able to make different limbs move independently via some new tech they put in not long ago. I would like to see the guys heads looking straight up-ahead and not moving around. You can see it at :39 of the Raiders-Packers video... it's a little strange.

I wish the movement was a little more dynamic as well and not the same every time (at least it appears to be the same). I wanted to see the QB sometimes adjusting his pads walking to the line (see 2K5) or just doing something other than just walking up and immediately settling under center. There's room for this next year though. I'm just glad they took heed to what we were saying and got the players walking. You compare the Madden pre-play sequence compared to what's seen in NCAA 10, and boy does it make a difference.
