meh, good and bad.
good - improved DB AI in many instances, nicer catch animations, run blocking seems to be better, digital number read out for accuracy/strength of punts/kicks now
bad - i also see terrible defensive DB ai in some instances, qb drops back 5-15 yards with little/no pressure, passes are still too accurate on the run/dropping back, spin move isn't AS deadly but still looks to be overly effective, very similar to last year, punt returns are still unrealistic.
punt returns should be a crowded mess. how many times in a game do you see the punt returner catch the ball and there are pretty much just 2-3 guys from the other team about 10 yards away from him? you NEVER see that. the punting team swarms the receiver of the punt. there are AT LEAST 5 dudes at or near the punt returner on most punts in the real NFL. but in madden i constantly see punt returners having 5-15 yards of cushion to begin their move. this rarely happens.
bottom line is no there isn't much to get "excited" about in these videos. they are good videos, madden will be an awesome game, but we just haven't seen enough "new" stuff in the videos to get hyped like ESPN.
one thing is for sure, ESPN's graphics are top of the line this year
