Has anyone else noticed any improvement in the AI department? I It seems that the CPU offense will exploit your defensive mistakes more now than in the past, especially in the passing game. The AI will make you pay for blown coverages, big plays don't seem as cheap. And if you make the correct calls on defense, you can stop the CPU even on all-madden. So far playing on all-madden I have seen no speed cheats, no robo qb's and no super backs.
The only problems I see so far is the CPU running game is kinda weak, maybe it's because I play with the Redskins who are OK against the run, and the o-line play is pretty glitchy. Olineman will frequently run down field and not block the d-lineman in front of them or just stand there and olay the defender.
On offense I've seen blown coverages by the cpu defense and defenders biting badly on play action but also good d-back play without the superjumps and what not. Initially people will think the game is easier, because there's less of an artificial boost, but I think it plays smarter. I broke an 81 yard TD run with Clinton portis on All-madden, which included a "getting skinny" animation, I caught them in a blitz.
Mario running is still there, but only when you completely miss the hole and run into a lineman. If you hit the hole cleanly but it's tight, you will see the "get skinny" animation. Mario running does not bother me as it does not affect gameplay, it just looks dumb. Maybe a better animation like high knees or putting you hand on the back of the lineman will help visually.
Hopefully next year they will add double team blocking and gang tackles, I miss the "clean-up" hits from the 2k series.

I was playing with the Eagles pre T.O suspension. I ran a fly pattern with T.O. McNabb took the snap and picked up the blitz. I threw a perfect lob for 40 yards to T.O just over the defenders head for the touch. I looked at the replay and it showed T.O. taking 5 steps and turning his head to the quarterback, which had the db jump the route. However T.O then turned back to the original position and ran downfield. That little hesitation let T.O. get space to receive the ball in the Zone.
