Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

One thing I noticed that was also in NCAA 12 is that if I audible the play from a pass to run vice versa, I am able to get better yardage than if I stayed with the play. If I change to a run play, I am able get better yards if I originally had a run play

A big problem with the QB running the ball is that the defensive AI is plain stupid.

It appears to be a problem with the zone defense. I just had CB Tillman pass on his receiver to another defender and instead of attacking Rodgers, who was running straight at him, it looked like he had to settle in his new zone first.

Jay Cutler just threw a 70 yard bomb. Overthrew Olsen by a mile but the safety was able to get to it. For some reason he didnt go for the pick, but the problem is that I didn't step into the throw at ALL. This needs to be fixed, saw the same thing with Tony Romo in the video a couple months back.

As far as the demo, I can see where they improved but the special teams is just awful, no blocking on punt returns. I'm not a fan of the broadcast view before a play, it interrupts the whole flow of the game. And the pre-play audibles messed me up and will take time getting used to. Other than that, a pretty solid game I will be getting. Also, is it just me or is there NO commentating in the demo?

Yep, it's just you. Every single other person who has downloaded the demo has commentary.

Wow...

Pastapadre has stated he thinks this demo is worse than what was shown at E3, so this must be a pretty early build. Also, throwing it out there that there is spectate mode so you can watch the new broadcast cameras.

turf does not look beautiful.... everything is a glimps being this a demo much isn't going to change
