    Dude, thank you so much for posting! That just made my day cus I was worried about the slow demo speed being the default online speed. Thats good news, and I think I will be rolling on normal game speed on August 14

      Same here, sure NCAA looks like crap compared to the Madden demo but it plays great and I love college football more than I do NFL.

We shipped the demo on "Slow" game speed to showcase those major differences and make the game slightly easier to play for those that maybe are new to the Franchise. You can bump the speed back up to be exactly what NCAA's is.
        So is this to say that the speed of the demo is not the default speed of game? I was playing the demo and thinking to myself "is Willy Parker really that slow?". I understand that in prior versions the speed was too fast, but the demo seems too slow to be realistic?

            lol, NCAA itself is slow as hell...Madden is like playing on a field of molasses.

              NCAA 10 may be a lot of things, but it defintely is not slow.

                  Exactly. I barely got through 5 minutes.

                  Madden's demo default gamespeed is awful. I feel like it was built for a senior citizen. No football game should ever move that slow. Ever.

                    MAN, do i ever agree with you on this one. I played one demo sitting of Madden and went back to my NCAA dynasty, which is getting really good, 3 teams with 2 losses in ACC battling for division titles and ACC championship berths. GREAT drama!!!

                      I like that both games have a different feel to them. NCAA = faster and lighter physics. Madden = slower (which is how I will play it) and weightier physics. There's plenty of room on my shelf for both of them.

                        After reading so much about Madden, I expected to be blown away by the demo. I downloaded it yesterday, started playing and was like "eh". I turned it off and went back to NCAA.

                        Of course, I prefer college football to the NFL.

                          I'm enjoying NCAA so much that I'm not interested in playing Madden I've always been a madden guy and just decided to give NCAA a shot over several years. This game is solid and far surpasses last years madden so I'm refreshed by it and will hold off on madden until the price goes down.

                            I'm 100% in agreement with these 2 members here.

                              I had the same feeling. The Madden demo was pretty polished and pro-tak is nice but it didn't blow me away. The wheel never got re-invented. And the lack of commentary and the game speed are turn offs for the demo.

                              Totally agree about the guys above stating it was way too slow. On kickoff returns and in the open field you feel like you are running in quicksand. I'm sure it helps guys read the defense but I don't want it to feel like stratomatic football. I want to feel the speed of a great football player. Instead I feel like I'm running in quicksand but at least you can change that on retail (should have made that option available in the demo). And I don't like that camera either.

                              Overall I think Madden will probably be a very good pro football game and it has a lot of customization options. But I'm not sure the actual gameplay will be upgraded to the point where a college football fan stops playing NCAA to play Madden.

                                I just played my first game on the PS3 demo version this morning and IMHO it's a night and day difference. Madden (even in demo format) is a vastly superior game of football; it is more refined and polished. Being an NFL guy doesn't hurt the cause either, but I may be trading NCAA 10 in to get the $40 towards Madden. NFL 2K5 and APF 2K8 were already better football games than NCAA 10, and now it appears that Madden will be as well. I'm truly in awe how of much Madden improved in 1 year. Hopefully, the retail version doesn't disappoint.
