It is still too early to say whether or not this game will be an improvement over 09.
In order to tell that, we are going to need to see an entire game, like Ian did with Madden 10. That way we can truly see the way the game plays. Maybe show us the sugar bowl or the NC game? Until then, it will be tough to make an official judgement.
It could also be due to the fact that the strongest part of Louisville's defense, the LBers, are all INCREDIBLY under-rated overall, and average about 77 in the speed department.
I like the fact the cpu is taking shots downfield. Also, on the replay you can clearly tell that procedural awareness (or whatever they call it) is working well. The other defender was right there in man coverage and since he didn't see the ball, he didn't break off his route to help out. I liked it.
