so far now at least.

imo, they messed up on the demo, as far as having 2 minute QTRs.....very simple mistake that can affect what they are trying to sell...

2mins is not enough per qtr...the CPU plays different as well as the Human Player..... you don't really establish the run...and you are kind of forced to not use the different teams to their strength.....and that can affect some gamers view of the game, like for example passing..... if someone is using Chicago, they might be forced to pass the ball with little time they have.....and that team is not made for that.....and this also effects how the game can come off AI wise when the CPU might be using Chicago and they are forced to pass more...and of course they look horrible doing it because of that...

5min per QTR for at least 2 qtrs would have been better.....
Yeah the time per quarter was a poor decision and really hinders the demo.

Getting it for damn sure. I think a lot of people will not like it out the box because it represents a change from the usual. I'm already looking foward to BB2! GO HAWKS!!

Leaning to pass. The camera angle is a deal breaker for me.

I wasn't interested in buying it before and the demo didn't change my mind.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Def buy! the game is worth it for the tackle alley alone. I was having real troubles running the ball but now that im using the red team which i think is the Oakland Scourge im getting busy with long runs. The game is very different and worthy of a purchase not because it's better then other offerings ( i think they are still needed ) but because variety is needed.

I've played three games and I'm already seeing things in this game that i havent seen in any other football game to date. Whats really impressive so far is how tight the controls are and the play execution. Once that ball snaps you know collisions are about to happen not some canned animation.

From leaning to buy to leaning to pass. If I pass it'll be a discounted purchase later on just to mess around with it for sure.

I think the game looks great, but I already knew I would like the physics/engine/environment before the demo. What I wasn't 100% about was the camera, and I tried to get into it but I don't think it's my style. If they patch in another camera angle I will re-visit my decision.
