Some of them were user controlled (at least the really bad ones).

I was thinking the exact same thing. The Online Co-Op video looked just like Madden 09, I was just about ready to write this game off. But the IGN video looked nice, very nice actually. So one video has guys running with realistic momentum, the other one has Marshawn Lynch "treadmilling" into the endzone and Knowshon making cuts like his knees had ball bearings. Weird.

A couple gripes from the IGN video:

1. WTF was with Jenkins on that blitz, darting past McNabb like a lost little Peewee player? I realize he was user controlled, but I thought the whole procedural awareness was going to have guys looking at their target (in this case, the QB while on the blitz). Looked very unrealistic.

2. As another user mentioned, the strafing looked a bit arcadey (or 09ish).

Last message was directed at IndyColts2 by the way, don't know why the quote didn't show up.

I dunno...to me...I don't see anything in the video that could convince me this game is any different than Madden 09...It really looks like the same gameplay

Yeah but on the 2nd play, where the wr catches the ball on the crossing route and runs toward the sideline displays horrible defensive pursuit angles by the entire cowboy's defense. When he initially breaks towards the sideline and slightly turns upfield, the two defenders continue to run towards the sideline in a very ncaa 09 like manner...

I guess one of the linebackers is user controlled and probably gets in the way of the other linebacker; but the cornerback completely over-runs the wr and forces him back inside, instead of using the sideline as another defender and forcing the wr to run out of bounds. It's like his field logic is off; the cornerback is playing as if the play is going on in the middle of the field.

If Madden '10 has wide-open gameplay due to the same horrible pursuit angles that ncaa 09 had, then count me out now! Surely the would use the same improvement to pursuit angles that ncaa '10 is using...Right?

I don't know if this has been said yet, but did any1 else think Marion Barber's hair looked really weird at the cointoss?
