Playmakers, I love your sliders, but I have to disagree with you big time here. For most of us zone-coverage was almost unusable last year, and Defense was never a real prominent part of the game. The only way to get a low scoring game last year was through an abundance of turnovers, LB leaping swats, or stupid CPU playcalling.
Not only do we have improved zone-coverage, but we have consecutive hit tackling which is what 90% of us here at OS have been chiming for. I'll take that ANY day, and this is only the first day of announced improvements. They still have at least a month until the game go gold, which is a lot of time to tweek and major gameplay issues (suction blocking). All of this on top of some new and improved presentation. I know last year I would use your suggestions for crown noise and such, and the game still sounded a little bland. I'd have to think you of all people would be ecstatic that they improved crowd noise.
