I really liked that Flacco forced some throws and really it really felt like he felt the pressure.

Forgot 2 other points I meant to make:

I wish the intereception rate was lower as it seems to prevalent (in this admittedly small sample), but I'm very glad to see that they aren't being returned for pick 6's nearly as easily as before.

Look at the replay at :45, in vid 3. I don't know what he's doing, but it sure ain't running.

It is a fun game to play, but it could be alot more fun with defense being looked at.

LBZ, You seem to have some pull here with Ian... I have seen your posts and agree with you 100% on almost all you write as far as defensive line play, OLB/ Safetie issues and outside runs, etc... Please have them fix defense! Defense wins championships! Did anyone see Ray Lewis in that video? He is a sideline to sideline guy and he couldn't come close to getting to Chris Johnson on the outside! It seems tough to run up the middle but easy to the outside. Everytime it's a run to the outside it's 1 on 1 with 1 man to beat for a td EVERYTIME it seems! Why does Ray Lewis attack the line consistently when the play is a toss or sweep to the outside? He takes himself right out of the play... Where is his play recognition of 99 or whatever he is?

I have posted this before about defensive line play and I know you have as well, but I would love to play with the star defensive lineman of the league and be able to have control with them and dominate from a variety of moves - swim move Right and Left, spin move, and power moves. If the offense is doing a dive and I am A. Haynesworth and he's coming at me and I'm being blocked and say he is going to the right of me then I can make a move to release from the Olineman blocking me and fill the gap and stuff him!

Defense is where it's at! You can't focus 100% on offense and not give defense the same attention! That makes for a lopsided game. No matter what they do with offense I know I can put up points on anyone. If they improved the defense then maybe that wouldn't be the case. Defenses should be able to dominate with the better defensive teams that is. Make that "in the game"!!! Runs to the outside need to be fixed somehow though! I'm not even sure if I was Ray Lewis and as soon as the snap of the ball and I knew the run was going right and i sprinted over there from the snap that I could even come close to being able to tackle Chris Johnson??? Is that realistic? I know C. Johnson is fast but c'mon! Don't make him unrealistic and unstoppable because there was lack of defensive adjustments this year as far as dline and linebackers go...

Make it happen LBZ PLEASE!!! We NEED YOU!!!

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Seriously, what is wrong with you people? "Chris Johnson doesn't run like he does in real life." Are you f***ing kidding me? Did Chris Johnson run like he does in real life last year? Has any RB ran like he does in real life on Madden? WTF is wrong with some of ya'll? If I was Ian I'd say, forget this. Next year, you'd be finding out about Madden at E3 if it was up to me. Now I'll admit, some people have some legitimate gripes, but this one here....this is stupid IMO. So you won't buy the game if they don't change the run animations.......so what. The game is already practically sold. It's already getting rave reviews from E3 and winning all kinds of E3 awards. You think the masses aren't noticing that? If you don't buy the game I guarantee there'll be 3 more people waiting in your spot. I really don't understand the complaint. Everyone was complaining about the old run animation, which I thought was fine, so Ian and co. changed it. They even got feed back from the community on some of the changes. Now they've changed it and you don't want to buy the game because you don't like it. Well don't!!! That was simple wasn't it? Man, I'm telling you........you guys are lucky I'm not Ian. I'd be like F U, F U, F U, You're cool, I'm out. Seriously! I'm in no way a Madden fanboy or anything, but this is ridiculous. You got posts talking about tackle angles and pursuit of the ball carrier and the pass rush or lack there of. Then here comes some guy: "I don't like the way they run." WTF? Is Madden really so complete that we can focus on how guys run now? It would be one thing if we we're talking about locomotion, momentum, or change of direction here, but we're just talking about the regular way a guy runs. Get real!! I'm sorry, I'm old school. I'd rather be able to do a screen play against a blitz before I worry about if the runner has enough "lean" in his run. I know some of you are not gonna like this, but I had to get it off my chest. It's the middle of June. The game is going gold next month. Guess what. That's how they're gonna be running when the game comes out. We don't need 50 million posts talking about how you're not gonna buy the game if they don't change the run animations. They're not changing. Therefore, there's no need for you to be around for awhile right? Since you're not gonna buy the game and all.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Ian - I cannot stress enough for me how impressed I am with the gigantic leap you and your team made from last year - specifically with presentation. I know this game is not perfect. I can concede ther are some areas that need improvement like the animations or the DL/OL blocking. But I can forgive these things as long as the game is fun. I wont mention the "other" game - but the reason people are partial to that because overall it was fun..and playing it was like an experience. The gameplay had more holes than swiss cheese at times..but you tend to forget that when you are enjoying the heck out of a game.

For the first time in this "next" generation - Madden seems fun. The presentation makes it look like an experience. And because of that - I am excited and I thank you. I leave it to the rest to disect the the passing routes, and the sock colors, etc. I am just happy to have some good ol' fashioned video game football. God Bless.

( Lendale White looked rail thin though)

Lendale White lost a lot of weight during the offseason.

No progessive lighting is a huge bummer for me. I was really counting on this being in.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Why is Chris Johnson rated so high 88 what did he do to be rated that high rush for a 1000 yards? And how come Ledale White is rated a 79? I thought he had a good year last year?

Thats nothing

What about Forte for the bears? What is his rating. Steve Slaton.

Everything looks great so far. Just those running Animations needs to be fixed.

Why after every tackle the players are on the floor sliding? Can somebody Answer that?

Am i the only on seeing that?

uh yeah he rushed for over 1000 yds and was one of the MAIN reasons we had the season we did...outside the OL he's the BEST player on offense.And for the record the bears nor texans made the playoffs but i'm suer Forte and Slaton are rated accordingly as they had GREAT seasons as well.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

My biggest concern is that if the defenses/pass rushes get ramped up too much then almost every teams defense will better than it should be. I'm not saying that the people that are concerned about the defenses/pass rush are wrong at all, I just don't want to see Ian go and tweak every defender to make the correct play or get to the QB every time, because that just isn't realistic either....some teams (yes, like my Lions) couldn't get to the Quarterback if they had 13 guys playing defense......just my 1/2 a cent...

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

I'm curious, for those of you saying the running animations are a game-breaker for you, have you played any Madden or NCAA next-gen in the past couple years? I'm assuming not, and here's why: NCAA 09 was my first next-gen football purchase, and upon first playing, I was pretty disgusted with the running animations. I thought for sure they were going to detract from my enjoyment of the overall experience. But in reality, after about 50 games (I played over 500), you really stop paying attention to how weird they are. You just get used to it, and before long you really don't notice it at all.

Ian said since day one that gameplay was going to be the focus. You get used to the animations and they don't detract from the real gameplay. I'm sure they will be modified/redone for Madden 11, since they're far from perfect. But I'm just saying, don't convince yourself they're going to take away the fun for you. Certainly don't pass on the game just because of the running animations, for your own sake.
