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

so far i like how the game plays

HOWEVER 2 THINGS
1. idk if its just me but i seems ea has turned down the speed, players dont seem as fast as they have in past years
2. switching between formations seems a lil laggy

The LB's swatting passes meant to be about 10 to 15 yards down the field away from them to me has always been the most annoying problem... Followed by o-line shedding blocks to quickly and ofcourse the infamous psychic DB's. I'm more concerned with the offense as you control most of the action then on the defensive side... Which my only quarrel has been user dropped interceptions. What bothers you guys the most in past maddens and now in this demo?

I'm personally liking everything about it, sucks it has no commentary... But on Xbox 360, the controls are spot on and not delayed. It's a smooth feeling when running and when you get some good blocks, getting in the opening is great. I intercepted the ball and ran it back 20 yards before getting laid out. Last minute the CPU was doing hurry up offense plays to try to score again.

And trust me they did, then tried an onside kick, I laid the hit on him and he fumbled it, and I won the game.

Love the cutscenes to the sidelines with players not wearing helmets and their faces are on point.

Got a really large hit on my QB during a sack, and the guy gets up and celebrates with this big grin on his face. The facial details are remarkable.

I am playing this on a 46" Samsung D7000 LED and it looks fantastic. even tried to simulate a 2D-3D...and it was cool too.....

Love this game it's great so far, just from the demo.

Playing on Very Slow seems like Normal to me. Why did they speed it up? Isn't that the point of being able to adjust the speed? Could they patch this or is it a foregone conclusion?

Yea All-Madden is going to be beast mode this year. I might not have to crank my sliders up full blast just to get some competition from the CPU this year. I been having a rough time so far with the Demo. Haha! But I don't have my playbook and team so I'll see how it is at that time. Damn I can't wait until the game drops.. I hate the sliders are broken on the demo. I couldn't tweak nothing because it automatically drops the level down to rookie.

This is why I feel like it's a cheat in a way. If someone is bad at a certain aspect, why should they make it easier, instead of trying to get better. I don't get it, but to each his own.

How are sliders vs. CPU cheating? The paying customer has the right to tailor any aspect of the game to his liking. If someone gets off on beating the CPU 100-0 every game, who cares? The more customization options the better. If you don't want to use them, don't. I do get it, and to each his own is right on.

How do you KNOW its an early build? I have tried on Twitter several times and not one person will confirm this is a PRE E3 build.

They are around the same time. Remember, the demo is missing commentary because the file would have been too large. There are other things missing as well.... I will leave it at that.

I just played on very slow and it was much more enjoyable and realistic than normal. On normal, it felt like NFL Blitz and I got bored fast. Decided to try very slow and it was right on. I hope they change this online (UT) or I don't think I will purchase.

I've played two demo games so far; Both as GB. I have yet to score or allow an offensive TD. I lost the first game 13-6 (threw a pick 6) and I won the second 9-8 with a last second FG.

I have to say that Gameplay has exceeded my expectations. I usually don't play with GB but, it's going to be tough not to this year. I may have to use two teams in Franchise for the first time this Gen. I'm thinking of going with GB and Cleveland. That way I have a top 5 team and a team that's in the lower half of the league. It will be interesting to see the differences between the two throughout a season. What a great year for football fans.

i wouldn't pay attention to this guy....he's already made it known that he's set in his ways and sliders are only used to cheat the game.

Some of these fellas are making no sense at all

Is there anyway to turn off that annoying cutscene every time after you pick a play ? I just want to get my defense set up. I know you can press A to hurry it up but it is still pretty annoying.

Exactly. I guess it cheating if I play on default AA across the board with the exception of bumping the CPU Running Ability and Run Blocking +15 too, right? Especially, since in most football games I've played the CPU running isn't that great out of the box.

Sliders are as important to sports games as picking the minute per quarter that you play. They've done nothing but, make the user experience better. Personally, I wouldn't play a football, baseball or basketball game that didn't have them. The only game that I play that doesn't is UFC and I'd love to see THQ add them *crosses fingers

Exactly. Though I must add that NCAA plays pretty darn good on heisman with no adjustments.

I loved 2k Football.. My biggest gripe with Madden is the deep
passing (Precision) does not lead it to where I pass it..

The demo, not only could I lead guys, but I could moved them
off their route..You will still get a pass here and there that is
not in the direction you aim. I would say 70% of my throws
were where I wanted them to be.. I was also purposely
aiming in random directions to see if it would do it..

I am impressed with this..I am sure the demo is pretty
raw, so hopefully small details will be addressed.. I for
one had a great time with the demo..

I am leaning a purchase this year.. maybe even on release day..
