In fact, would they have already lost the playoff spot before the overtime period even began then, since it's impossible to score 7 points on a single scoring play? Then why bother playing it out? Why would the extra points at the end of regulation count for a team, but in overtime they wouldn't? That seems very strange to me.

ummm that example wont happen in the NFL cause playoff spots are not determine by points scored. or maybe im confused at what u getting at?

I loooved the overthrown passes! So awesome. However, I did not like the DB AI, specifically on the crossing routes. WRs are still wide open. Defenders still don't know how to stay with their receivers in man coverage.....

Then the Eagles failed to reach their goal in the first 4 quarters. No playoffs.

I'm confused. How is the game tied in overtime and the Eagles need 7 more points to clinch a playoff spot? Once you go into overtime, the team that scores first(a touchdown, safety, field goal, etc) WINS THE GAME! The extra point is not needed because they've already broken the TIE after scoring. If no one scores during overtime then both teams lose. Ex: 2008 Eagles.

We don;t know the difficulty setting that was being played on, I'd assume knowing IGN they did it on Pro or rookie so that would explain why WR were grandly open. I'm sure when bumped up to All Pro or Madden we'll see less of that.

What I'm worried about is whether the cpu will automatically sub out those players in red til they are back green again.

1:50 of the PIT/ARZ vid is a nice example of Pro-Tak in a "normal" situation (ie not breaking a 5-man tackle). All 3 guys were clearly on Parker as he was going down.

Looking forward to seeing this myself tomorrow!

Man the graphics look sweet, the crowd sounds good. I really like the way the helmets look. Only thing i didn't like was Hines Ward getting stuck with his man while in motion.
