Hopefully for Madden's sake it means much more realism including full body scans.

I would like to see another 2 player cover - thus both Brown and Miller - which I would hope to suggest a balance of resources and improvements on both sides of the ball...

I would also like to see another zone area that would sit just under where the Yellow zones sit, thus allowing better coverage of the drag and shallow crossing routes, but at the same time sacrificing some depth that you get with the yellow zones.

Also, more stock plays with the purple zones would be nice.

and again, gap control/assignments.

Exactly man. That should be the case every year.

Yassss. AND, gap control, shadowing, and user-defined matchups.

Apparently some game assets have appeared on the XBOX Live Marketplace, and PastaPadre has been tweeting out what he's seeing:

Steve made a thread about the XBOX Live Marketplace assets so I'm closing this thread. Please redirect your discussion to the new thread. Thanks!
