and I was glad to see he talked about all the adjustments u can make on defense.

This year in addition to playing loose and bump coverage with your cornerbacks, you can bring them in tight without playing bump and run, or you can run a disguise pattern which affects linebackers as well. You can change up coverage on man to man defenses so that the matchup the offense wanted changes. There's nothing better than having the other team have to call a timeout because all of a sudden he see a hungry Hannibal Navies (what a name for a linebacker!) shift over and start looking at the tight end you wanted to throw too. Another addition to the pre-snap adjustments are the ability to shift the linebackers as well as the front line. If you see your opponent audible into a open backfield Shotgun formation, you can now shift your linebackers back a few steps to protect the first down marker.

Yeah, except he didn't mention the defensive adjustments like "Defend Run Left" and "Defend Deep Pass" which *really* make a difference. If you learn when to use those, your defense improves quite a bit.

I didnt know we could do that with Fever, thats good to know.

Now this is an in-depth review if ever I read one. First one to mention the small things that really make the game shine. He didn't really talk about the running back pre-snap route changes, but he hit on many things that get over looked.

Look at the screen Spin posted, how many of you thought that would be part of it? Fever is really going to turn heads this season. *Note to Dan, don't do the Cribs thing or sell hot Dogs next season. Focus on Online Franchising, Online Trading, Online Owners, ONline, OnLine,Online....Also The Challenge rule needs to be in there.
