    I wish I was home to see this video
    WR/DB hasn't changed that much. The giants CB came up and just stopped Jemichael Finley dead in his tracks and held him there and they danced together before Finley could release. WEAK.

      Thanks for the insight, that really sucks though. Hopefully, there is atleast some more interaction down the field between the WR/DB. Why cant they just take the "josteling" system from FIFA. That would be perfect..

        It's just about 6 clips of game play.

        Quick observations.

        A. This was shot after the draft because they said Drew Brees made the cover.

        B. Nice endzone end of the line catch.

        C. Nice double team block for Brown on a draw play it looks like.

        D. No duck animation when Rodgers unloads the ball going into a sack.

        E. Much less skating vs the older video.

            The running by Ryan Grant down the sideline looked great, imo...it was like what I saw on the locomotion vid for NCAA.

            Hope that Henne play with him rolling out was just something on the lower levels...do not want to get online and THAT bs is still working.

              Agreed with all of this.

              On C. It looks like a Dive play out of Singleback

                Sorry, I was too focused on the game play. I'll check it out.

                  Hey LB when are they gonna give us some clips of the Ravens! Haha

                  This could be the first year ever the Ravens could be a top 5-7 team used on-line!

                  Its shaping up to be an interesting year in Baltimore...

                    You are probably correct on the dive play.

                      Don't know. My plan may be ruined though. I had planned to run a lot of TE Wide/Golden retriever, with the other TE on the line with Heap, Pitta, Dickson, but if they are going to get stone-walled by CB's and they can't use their height and bodyweight/strength advantage against them that's going to be weak. I want to run 3 TE sets, with one on the line, one in the slot and one out wide. That should be monster. But not in this game. CB just press someone a lot larger than him and push him around or stonewall him like nothing.

                        Agreed LB. Just saw the video on live. The gameplay as a whole looked great. But the WR getting jammed at the LOS like that by the CB was kind of ugly. Why don't you are one of the CD people send a message to Ian pointing this problem out. So Ian and his crew can tune this a little bit better before it goes gold. But other then that. The gameplay looks good.

                          I'm not sure what needs to be done in this area can happen right now because then the WR will probably always get open easy because there really is no technique played by the CB's. It may be programmed but it doesn't work out well. This was one of the big reasons the game's physics was scaled back last year. Last year on CD, I had a 3 catch 139 yd 2 TD performance with Yamon Figurs because the physics caused the CB's to not be able to respond to cuts well at all. It was a huge problem. I have communicated A LOT of things. But I don't think the things I've communicated in this area are going to make it. Run blocking did, so I'm happy with that part.

                            Is the timing in the passing game any better, or is the QB still finished with his drop before the WRs make any cuts?

                                I havent seen the clip yet...but did you just say you saw no gang tackling?

                                Because this is the very thing we have been discussing all morning.
