I think previous Madden releases have used a speed cheat to control this - making almost any QB lame and slow out of the pocket, instead of having different defensive logic. Is that still how this is controlled? In Madden games, once the QB gets to the outside, a skilled player can buy an inordinate amount of time to throw and can hold the ball waaaaaaay longer than a similar situation in 2K8 (or 2K5). This also leads to unrealistic rushing gains when the Madden defenders in zone defense fail to react to a running QB until he has past the LOS.... Other things that looked good:

I like the points that you brought up, the only problem is with the second pic. I hope that DB does not move up on the QB until the QB passes the line of scrimmage, considering that the DB is 15 yards off the LOS its definitely not his top priority.
