Things that bother me:

-Pick 6's
-Terrible terrible commentary, and lack of any emotion by Hammond.
-And WTF is that Quickies thing that kept popping up?

Rookie QB against a good defense - off course there will be pick-6s. It happens in real life all the time. Rookies, as a rule, don't just come in make good decisions and not throw pick-6s. Also, on occasion, all quarterbacks have bad games. Peyton, Brady, Romo! (the big choker), etc...

Now, it will bother me if all qbs just throw picks. However, if I see the good qbs generally perform much better than the bad qbs (and rookies) I'm good.

Just checked out the three videos, and im walking away a little optimistic. On the second video at the one minute mark the Packers call a toss play, and the pulling left tackle makes that god awful sudden jerky cut to the inside instead of continuing to the outside. And he didn't black a soul. Sucks that they didn't address that.

I did like the on run inside to the left by the Lions, you seen the LG corner block the DT to open the hole. That was pretty nice to see.

I don't like advertisements popping up over the score-ticker bar...

At the 8 second mark...

"QUICKIES"... WTF?

That looks really out of place and stupid. Why would you stick in a pop-up add like that during the middle of a game? It's HIGHLY intrusive and annoying.

We pay full price for Madden, do we not? Why are they smearing ads all over the place?

I could accept the ads better if it helped LOWER the price of the game.

But it doesn't, so it just comes off looking like more business greed.

wow. each of those picks were thrown in single man coverage (though the first one was just the cpu quarterbacks bad judgement).looks to me that man coverage is going to be a beast this year...not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing?

I had a video on my cell phone where I grabbed an INT and ran down my teammates sideline and they just stood there like zombies. Unfortunately, I couldn't pull them out to show but I'll use my camera the next time.

There should be an interactive sideline, where teammates are edging me on as I run past them to score.

And that 2nd video is so painful to watch because the QB is back to pass (and since there isn't any playmaker feature), he should have scrambled but chose to pass and his receivers gave him no kind of help, they just stood there and it was a gimme interception.

EA needs to tune the offensive AI of the receivers so that they should automatically make adjustments after they execute running their routes. They should be on the move at all times, finding ways to get open (effectively utilizing the route running and awareness ratings) until the play is dead.

Please people yall need to co-sign on this.

Williams is the fastest CB the Packers have. I don't have any issues with that.
