How is the passing game?? Is there an actual pocket like 2k5? Is the DB/WR more realistic--eg catching ball in triple coverage?

Thanks for the information TC! Can't wait to get the game!

I kind of touched on the fact that anytime a receiver has been covered, he hasn't made insane catches. I've had some catches in tight coverage, but it was just a perfectly thrown ball, and my corner made the tackle immediately afterward. As far as pocket, well...that's up in the air. I'm still in reaquaintance phase, so I find myself running around far too much. You can just hike it and let your QB avoid the rush this year, however. The pass rush just seems to nail me so fast if I let him stand there, so I'll have to test it more later.

Whenever you get a chance, could you find out if changing the uniform colors is the same as last year, or you get to keep your teams logo. I want to give the Packers an all white road uni. Thanks

How balanced is the game play in terms of passing versus running and further more, deep passing versus the short pass and running inside versus outside? I prefer to run a balanced attack and don't like it when I'm rewarded for playing a particular style (always running outside or throwing deep) particularly when its not very realistic.

Will the CPU still run the ball when its down (ex. by only 7 in the third quarter)?

Heya Big T. Thanks for taking the time to respond to questions.

I have one question, relating to pre-snap options..

On defense, is doubling up a receiver, setting formation shifts, and coverage manageable prior to the snap, or do you have to be lightning quick to get the changes in?

I guess I am asking two questions here.. The first relating to the ease by which these changes are made, and the second relating to how much actual time the user has to make the changes,

Thanks again!

About player moral:
1)If a player has a good or bad game does it effect their moral?

2)If a player's moral goes up or down, does it effect their attributes at all?
If not that kinda sucks since it's only for free agency then.

thanks!
