A con I noticed;
At 1:07, the Giants line faced a 3-4 with the RB coming up the 3 hole. There was two TE on the play, therefore all the players had a defender man up. Pretty simple blocking right?
Well instead, the TE on the left went to the DE that was head up on the left guard, leaving the left (on the screen) outside lineback free to get the RB right when he gets the ball.
This is the type of stuff I'm talking about that killed Madden for me. The idoitic AI like that. YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE MAN UP!!! It's that simple. Why is my TE going off to block a defender that's man up on someone else? ESPECIALLY when the handoff is to his side of the field. Him doing a proper block would have change what was a loss of yards to a gain of yards.
Not impressed. I understand it happening to someone who has low AWR, but even still, it would be VERY RARE we should see that, because that's what get players cut from High School football for god sake.
Don't know what to say about the pass blocking yet so I'll shut up for that. I just hope the AI actually be in position for a proper pocket.
As for pros,
Presentation is better the last year easily. Would like to see the WHOLE starting lineup rather then weapons though.
Graphics look nice.
The collision animations seem smoother.
The Break-away camera is a nice touch, so is the user celebrations.
Overall, it's the con of stupid AI blocking wise I still see that I'm not impressed with.
