Vick Touchdown Pass: Rivers Touchdown Pass: Matt Cassell Sack: Carson Palmer Sack:

Omg look at the RB on the Cassel sack...looks like backbreaker

Yea, I'd like to know how u know this...and by scoreboard, I assume u mean scorebug

....and I hope this is true!

Anyway, I just want this damn game. Lol. And I hope I don't get bored so quickly as I did with 12, which surprised me with the new tackling system and improved graphics and lighting initially sucking me in, especially in the demo. I played the demo a banillion times but it felt like once I played the early release download, the excitement went away after a bit of play. Then I bought the actual game around official release day....
Well, I just FINALLY finished A SEASON in my franchise last week and I'm NOT much of an online game, at all, and played next to NO online games with 12 except one with a former co-worker. Hmm. Looking forward to more of a hook like 10 did to me, this time around/

I'm pretty sure it's the same as you will see here, but they did change the zero's. Hopefully they change the rest too before shipping it. I know Shop talked to Mike Young about it the other day.

Completely agree - hated that they took this out last year.

Minute detail buts add so much realism.

Hasn't it been out since like 08? I don't think they have had it for a few years.

Two things I liked. The crowd during some of the scenes definitely sounded like a real NFL crowd which is thanks to the 24 mics that they used. The other thing was seeing two people hit Palmer at the same time. As the one was wrapping and lifting Palmer up, the other seemed to wrap him up as well.

I agree with you on that. I seen this same thing during the gameplay playbook for NCAA13. Where a a WR was doing a drag route underneath and there was a LBer in postion to knock it down as it sailed over his head and he was looking at. He did not even attempt to knock it down. He just stood there. I'm just really hoping they are not dumbing down the D to much just to give the offense big lift this year. That would kill the fun of the game.

LOL True that. Just about every player looks the same size to be honest. Can't really tell a difference.

I don't get the BB reference but it kind of annoys me how the RB ends up behind the qb when he should be pass blocking. This seems to happen too much in Madden. I think it's rare in 12, tho.

I totally agree. They should find a balance. But that has been the problem with EA for years with Madden and NCAA. They have not been able to find the right balance between offense and defense. The really need to balance it out according to ratings of the player. That would be a big step in the right direction. They really need to do something to make sure that either side doesn't have the upper hand.

All we can do is hope that they were playing the games on "Varsity" and "Rookie", explaining why certain players didn't react in the Gameplay Videos.

Well I hope. Because if not. Then I will disappointed about it. I'm so glad they have finally made it where the offense and D guys have to see the ball before been able to respond to the ball. But on the harder settings like All Pro and All Madden I don't want to see the AI responding on both sides of the ball like the setting is on rookie or pro setting. I just hope this is the case tho. That those videos was been played on rookie and pro settings. I guess we will get a bigger picture of the gameplay come E3 next month.
