I agree that it would be nice to have certain defenders move pre-snap to try to time up the blitz. I do also think that you should have the option to show an all-out blitz similar to the one that is currently implemented, but not aligning defenders in completely unsound positions when their specific assignments conflict with the show blitz option.
All in all, the pass protection logic is very screwed up and has been for quite some time (I really can't remember a time when it wasn't). Most of the time, 5 man pressures should be able to be blocked by 6 man protections (your video showed only 5 man pro's), overloads or not, but not by sliding the un-rushed tackle across the formation. Those OL should all move together towards the outside rusher.
On a side note, I really hope that the NCAA demo is not too much of a prognosticator for what Madden is going to be (NCAA too, for that matter). I played about 3 quarters of one game before I had seen all I could handle. When I was on offense, I could pretty much shred the defense just running 4 vert variations with no hot-routing/assignment changes. Two consecutive plays when I was on defense broke the camels back: the AI QB through a ball into double coverage down the sideline, my safety (AI controlled) took a path that would have been good if the ball would have literally been overthrown by 30 yards. Then the CPU ran an option play in which the pitch man came to a complete stop and then reversed his field on the pitch, losing about 10 yards. There's no place for things like this...

shtty, my fear is A.I wise Madden is going to be very similar. The thing that will be different is physics. That's not a small difference I don't think. Just going off of what I read on some updates with guys at Tiburon now, I see how those outside runs in many of the videos happen. One of them reported that you cannot attack the gaps per usual with linebackers because with the physics, guys can trip and fall. I'm wondering if all the outside runs in the E3 videos were due to the OLB tripping and falling due to physics. I'm not sure.
On the five man pressures vs six blockers well the sad news from the NCAA demo is that the last set up for the 3 Overload Fire I showed, namely the outlawed version because of the Spy, with that one you can have seven man protection and the linebacker can still come up the middle untouched
This is why I said a while back if they do not catch this stuff online for NCAA is going to be very BAD.
