Until then it's going to continue to look like a nice paint job. Personally I wish they would have went all in on revamping the entire wr/DB-passing engine. The passing engine hasn't been touched since ps2. The graphics look promising but as far as gameplays goes in the reveal trailer it looked the same as far as the players giving up the edge.

The passing engine has changed some this year, DBs now will begin to react as the QB gets in throwing motion not just after a button is pushed. They brought in two Steeler DBs to teach them how DBs respond to QBs on pass plays. Rex Dickson goes into detail on the passing game improvements in the podcast. Also WRs and DBs now will react and stretch out or leap for overthrown balls, no more standing still as the ball goes over their heads, assuming the ball is in a realistic distance from the WR or DB.
