if the D keeps up this way i'd definitely try to get a league together. really liking what i'm seeing on the defensive side but more games will be needed to see. it really seems like everything is improved on defense. from man to zone to defending the read option. there is still bullshit like there is in every madden but i feel like i could get a stop on defense if i needed one.
splat is also correct on the running game. because of the new "true step" or whatever stupid ass gimmick name they gave it it's very hard to make cuts on a dime.
it's unfortunate that the game LOOKS like a ps3.1 game because the gameplay is decent. if EA actually put in the time to make this look like a knockout people would have been jocking it more
