Moved from Florida about 11 years ago, can't say I miss the weather (especially the flash rain and tropical storms/huricanes), though I do miss the warm rain which we don't get in NC.

To add to the video, I hope switching to a slower speed helps the twitchy play and qb speed. It seems kinda sad when EA talks about Madden being all top notch and their default settings would make Madden himself vomit in the EA presidents lap. I thought John wanted a true to life sim game! Where has he been the last few years to kick these guys asses into shape!

Unrelated to this video, however does anyone know if there are videos featuring the Colts? I don't want to create an entirely new thread for such a simple question, so thanks in advance.

Part of the reason everyone thinks the game is so "fast" now is because they got rid of suction. Everyone that played the game at E3 says it feels just right and doesn't seem too fast at all, but more like real life. I think after we play the game we'll have a much better idea of the speed of the game. Everyone's jumping to conclusions about this game and hasn't even played it and the build at E3 was only the alpha build, and they are making changes to it as we speak.

And knowing that this is an alpha build puts an even larger smile on me face. One thing to note are the new defensive formations. I don't know if this guy is using the Eagles default playbook, but the Sub formation,the 5-2, and the Over Plus out of the 4-3. I'm intrigued by what kinds of plays are found in those. If only we had confirmation of whether formation substitutions in the main menu are in... I'd have a complete field day with the defensive schemes I could put together

my complaints too.

the formations in the Bucs D finally does them some justice. they are on of the few teams running 3/4/5 man fronts on a regular basis. I just hope they added some plays to the 3-3-5 formation that the Bucs like to use. Last years were pretty bland.

nice having a 3-4 set(Over Plus). I was using Jags playbook last year to more like the Bucs real play calls. lol

to me, i'd probably leave them as is with bowers as LE and Clayborn as RE. bowers was known as the better pass rusher in college and, typically, your elite pass rushers line up as LE. Clayborn was seen as a possible 3-4 DE and they're primarily run pluggers, which is what you tend to find at RE.

One question for you sir what position does Dwight Freeney play??? He has never moved from this DE spot in his entire career...somebody help my man out...this isn't a 3-4 defense

I think some are reading to much into this game! They were button masher players and it was on pro setting. The score was 10-7 not 45-38 Vick and Freeman throw int`s when dropping back and not stepping into pocket. Vick is chased quickly everytime he out of pocket another setting possibly sacked and he was sacked twice and had 4 int`s. graphics were excellent and there was a bit of slippage, And its 80 days away from release looking good IMO.

Actually, it seems like special teams is the exact same except for the new meter which I wish they would get rid of. My excitement from those initial announcements is fading fast. I think EA is more concerned with how long games are than showing replays & stats.

I have to agree with this as well. There are still just way too many fundamental issues that will hamper this game for me. It sucks being a Lions fan knowing that the Defensive Line play seemed to get no attention at all yet again this year. There is still little to no push by the line, and 4-3 DE's still do not appear to be attacking the QB, choosing to instead have a shoving match with Offensive Linemen instead of trying to get AROUND THEM. I just don't understand how most NFL coaches say that your team is built from the Offensive/Defensive Line out, yet this is one of the main aspects of Madden that EA isn't even close to getting right yet. That's just the tip of my issues, but many others have stated the same problems with the game that I have, so I will rest my case.

Elite Pass-Rushers line up as Right Ends, that's why Left Tackle is the most important/highly sought after/highly paid position on the Offensive Line.
