ELI MANNING SPEED:61

So I've played the Demo and I must say that I wasnt surprised leading up to this past weekend. But once I played the demo (even the VR training) I have now got my football teaser.

I'm a 2K convertee myself and I always liked Madden but loved 2K....but anyway.

I noticed that Eli was able to move around pretty good, which is a good thing, but then I looked up his speed rating...(http://www.sportsgamer.com/content/1603/madden-09-quarterback-ratings/)

only to notice he was a 61, and I remember Madden 08's J Campbell was not as fast as Eli is on this years Madden. Also Campbells rating is 69 which compared to Eli would be extremely fast.

I wasnt able to play defense in the demo (of course) so I dont have much to reference their speed to compared to corners, etc. I did notice that although Eli seemed faster than usual a DE for the Patriots was able to catch me when I ran which is a good thing.

But I guess my question is, is the overall game faster or did they make QB's faster to make up for some gleaming problem that I may be missing? Because last year the nano blitz was horrible for me, and was one of the reason my Madden 08 is still collecting dust.

But all in all I loved the demo. And thats coming from a 2K convertee!!!!
