I think 1 thing that reduces Super LBs is the ability to decrease Defensive reaction. I seen slower reactions to passes and rushes.

Just saw something very cool. Rodgers (CPU) threw a deep ball to Jordy Nelson..who then ran onto it..i managed to chase him down, and strip the ball out on my own one yard line. Briggs recovered it and then Nelson just lay there with his hands on his head, motionless for about 5 seconds. The camera just cut to him and it looked so awesome! I wasn't able to capture it live obviously but his animation is in the replay, check it out. The little things make all the difference.

Some gameplay I recorded
Overall I think its an improvement from 11 bit still not digging the running animations which look and feel funky and the tackling while improved still doesn't look to be up to 03 or 2K5/8 standards but maybe it will be improved in the full game.

What difficulty was this on? I'm concerned that there are too many big plays on both defense and offense. The Bears went almost the entire length of the field on 4 plays. Both the running and passing looked to explosive. On defense, Rodgers had 0 time to throw the ball, horrible O-Line blocking.

Jay Cutler runs like he is Vick. His speed is wayy too high

Pro. I also played it on all pro and was still able to hit some big pass plays and run the ball effectively but also threw 2 picks to super lb urlacher lol.

Gameplay wise, I think with a good slider set this year Madden is really going to be a blast with all the new presentation features.

Things I like:
-New visual enhancements. This game is very aesthetically appealing.
-The game feels a little smoother than 11 (similar to NCAA).
-I actually pay the price for poorly thrown balls (but at the same time, I'm mirrored all to well)
-Running feels realer

Things I dislike:
-Special teams are a disaster. No blocking, no lanes, no realism.
-Defenders don't jostle for the ball. I don't know if this is accounted for in traits, but what defender stands in front of a receiver (not running), waits for him to catch it then tackles him?
-Poor playcalling. If they really wanted to speed up games, they'd fix gameflow. At this point Gameflow loses you games, end of story.
-It's dumb to play this game on All-Pro or higher. The game knows which play you call and the only way to really move the ball is to audible every play, which just takes the fun out of it. If I run 3 plays in a row for significant gains, I should get them to bite on a PA pass. But they know the playcall before I line up.


That's all for now.

Thats pretty it for me too. These flaws are just too glaring and can't believe its even in the game. I'm buying tho hoping these get fixed.

After playing a few more games in the demo, I am starting to actually like it more now. Not sure why. I can live with a few of the glitches as they aren't exactly gamebreaking.

Rogers broke a 35 yard scramble on me. He was juking, spinning and stiff arming his way down the field. Then afterwards that S.O.B got off the ground and celebrated. I was like WTF......no he didn't just show boat on me after that awesome scramble.

So far out of all the QB scrambles in this demo, I haven't seen them slide yet, which is a GOOD thing. They go after it and TRY to get a TD with EVERY scramble.

Way too many times in NCAA 12 QB will slide way before anybody is even close to them.

I like the over throws and the WR reaction of where the hell were you throwing to. It cracks me up.

Punt returns and kick return blocking needs to be improved on both sides though. Nobody gets more then 5 yards a return.

But DPP is the REAL DEAL.

I got after Cutler one game with some sacks, dude got happy feet & was running quick. Then when he was throwing he was missing people because he was forcing it a lot more, accuracy was way off.

When I made Forte fumble, his whole running style changed and he was covering up the ball with 2 hands. I was like damnnnnnnnnnnn that is awesome.

Kind of don't want to play NCAA 12 anymore now.

Graphics look great except when you are actually playing the game.

Isn't that like saying, "She'd be a really hot girl if she didn't have that giant cyst in the middle of her forehead?"

I've played a couple of games so far and I am actually fairly pleased with the demo, I couldn't say the same for the NCAA demo I couldn't get into it. But with Madden it plays fairly well from what I was expecting.

Still unsure if I will buy Madden especially after the issues with NCAA, but I think I will play this demo a lot over the next week.

Just started it up and first quarter after playing a drive on both sides of the ball gotta say I'm very impressed.
