I didnt see any running backs throwing around DT's but that all depends on player momentum and attributes.

Not sure on jersey pulls but i did see several new tackle animations that were slick including a shoulder pad grab tackle... almost a horse collar.

Were you able to tell if all the new camera angles and pregame cut scenes tied together with commentary/stat overalys to create more of a broadcast feel? I noticed that in NCAA, the team intros at the beginning of each game seemed to have been on their own, with no broadcast feel to it.

Every camera angle you see at the stadium is in the game in one way or another. That is every camera angle from EVERY stadium is authentic. Wait til you see the different field goal cameras (Oakland especially). I didnt notice much difference in the WR DB interaction, but it may be there... really didnt focus on it.

Oh no worries as long as everyone behaves and has some patience and respect for each other.

Im not sure if it was mentioned or not but there are a TON! Especially the the going up for the ball/receiver getting laid out animations.

no I didnt see the ball morph at all, but i'm sure its going to happen... thats nearly impossible to correct without adding a ridiculous amount of contact points on each hand.

and yes I saw a little corner back tackle Hillis high... Pissed me off! lol... a CB should piss his pants when they see Hillis coming.

I never switched cameras from the default. but it seems to me that the default has been zoomed out a shade... I may be wrong though.
