I guess I'm the only person who thinks the 2k running looked extremely odd. The players always seemed way to upright and they looked like they had a stick up their ***.

Okay moving on lol, I LOVED seeing the run plays develop and not having the defense blow up the sweep every time. The run blocking AI looks exceptional, but there still isn't a pocket. I'm drinking the kool aid again, but so far it looks pretty fun. Oh I also loved the bomb to back of the endzone where the DB didn't jump and try to swat it, it was a perfect strike from Brees. In Madden 10 I'm pretty sure that pass would have been picked because you weren't able to put touch on your passes, but it seems like you are able to now.

I loved the video, and the run blocking looked top notch. Pass blocking looked ok but the defense never blitzed at all in this footage so it was too hard to tell if a pocket gets formed. All they ran was zone coverages so we need more videos to tell how the pass blocking is.

And WR/DB interaction

I am going out on a limb here if you guys pay attention to details: this event was JUST to display their new gameplay engine, so I am making an assumption that they are using madden 10's graphic engine for these purposes. The reason I say this? In this video, Saints still have Pierre Thomas (now a eagle), all of the players look the same and like they are wearing the same equipment and the same dreads, AND, they are using the same replay wipes from Madden 10. This is strictly my opinion, but I have a feeling that EA is just waiting on polishing up the game engine before unveiling the new graphics engine. If things stay the way they are now, then NCAA is gonna look 10 times better than Madden in graphics department. And we all know, NCAA has never come close to comparing to Madden. If you compare the 2 side to side, NCAA blows it away at the moment. NCAA, however, has been in its development cycle longer and is further along. I have a feeling EA is going to slap on their new graphics engine after everything is polished up, and then we will see a noticeable difference in appearance.
