Well this isn't LIVE gameplay like they're advertising it to be... the teams just switched uniforms lol. It's like weird unattached highlights and explanation/advertising.

Yeah weird video I watched 2 minutes and closed it.

Going to be hard to judge their coverage when they keep usering the LB and leaving gaps everywhere. Not interested in hearing these two talk about the game, wanted to see raw gameplay.

Cannot wait to play the game myself.

Done watching that mess, but I will say it's nice to see the AI Defense constantly shutting down TDBarrett's little fade to the outside right of the pocket that he does on every single play. Defense wasn't letting him do that at all and it wasn't the User he was playing - it was all the AI.

Even with all the user LB play, you can see pretty easily that country Cover 3 leaves the seams wide the hell open.

Gonna be a lot of four verticals this year with the de-emphasizing of match zones, just as I feared.

Ive never been big in to online play or the YouTube people who play for the videos, but do these guys not know how to step up in the pocket with their QB? They could reduce the amount of sacks and rollouts if they step up in the pocket. Heck there was one play where had the guy not rolled left and, instead, stepped up in the pocket, the whole right field was open.

Hopefully we get some more videos.

No because they'll just cry on Twitter until the devs nerf the pass rush. Rinse and repeat.

To be fair to them, stepping up in the pocket has rarely been a skill Madden emphasized.

Madden 22 in particular disproportionately rewarded leaving clean pockets early, to the extent than any pocket formed (as opposed to a wall) because tackles did not get depth in their pass sets and edge rushers could not continue moving forward while engaged with an OL.

I only watched a little but I definitely saw 2 instances where pressure was applied via the LB and the O-lineman just kind of moves out of his way and didn't even attempt to block him. He wasn't engaged with any other player so it looked oddly like he was just letting him rush the QB on purpose. once time they focused on the replay and it was glaringly obvious because the linebacker was running right at him and he didn't engage.

I can't tell much at all from this video overall though.

By the 2nd half of their game each team was just running 4 verts and passing to the seams every play. Really glad we got "gameplay" from two MUT guys.

So disappointed the first gameplay release is cheesers playing on comp. There is a video released today on Youtube called "Madden 23 Gameplay BIG Detail Improvements With PROOF" from a user named Im that Matt that is showing some of the real gameplay improvements, specifically the run game control, the parts of him usering Saquon and Kamara are what I experienced in the beta and make for some of the most eye opening footage of Madden 23's potential I've seen. very nice video. I watched it on mute so I can't speak to his commentary, and It's obv footage from the beta so Im not gonna link it, but I will say it looks A LOT better than the trash they showed this AM.

That just shows that line play wasn't a focus just speed of Defense and pursuit. Line play needs to be the next leap for 2024. It's bad like horrific bad...that was my gripe with the coverage in the beta. Boosting everyone to play faster doesn't fix it just bandaids it. We need ratings to determine who plays faster and who plays slower. Not boost everyone for the sake of boosting. Every team isn't an all Madden roster of 99s

I don't know why I expected anything other than this terrible display. Back of the box features are for tighter and smarter coverage yet they promote MUT Verts all video with braindead defenders letting players run wherever they want on the field.

My hype naturally has gone down. Now I have to see if Sim setting in CFM is a polished version of the beta like they promised or else it'll be another long boring year.
