sounds great

The emphasis on Defense has gotten my attention big time. Now if this is not merely advertising, but actuall 100% true, then I'll be all over this game.

Nice find. Im getting excited for Madden as well. Yes you usually know what your getting with Madden, but it plays a damn good game of football and has probably the best franchise mode of any football game.

2005 is about the three or five step drop and release. You hold the ball any longer than that, you tuck the rock and try to run, and the defense pursues you like they're trying to remove your head from your body…or at least your helmet.

The intriguing thing about this is that it may actually be true. We haven't seen enough videos to say otherwise. So, it's a possibility which would be great.

DB's are great at jumping routes, adjusting to where the quarterback is throwing the ball, and reaching up to make a play.

DB's were too good at snagging INTs out of mid-air in last year's game. I wonder how this will play out.

When you run a wide receiver in motion and hike the ball while he's in between the tackles, the wide receiver will now stay in and automatically help with the block. Last year, the receiver would release through the line and the A.I. wouldn't know who to cover (a move that's illegal in tournaments). This year, it's helpful if you think your opponent is bringing the house with a blitz and you need that extra player back there to give your quarterback more time to throw the ball.

Excellent.

Madden looks like a solid title this year. I think quietly it may suprise some people. Like I said before, we just don't know because of the lack of videos. I think EA is showing their poker face right now.

EA just copied the shoulder charge button from ESPN. But the rest of the game does look solid.
