360 version played good..No problems at all..You must of been playing the PS3 version; I heard people were having some issues with it..

There is a replay compression issue with the PS3 in the demo...it's not every time, but we definitely saw it. You can watch replays and they look like they are barely running, the ball isn't spinning, etc...like you said.

It has nothing to do with normal gameplay though.

What does that even mean???

I am going to go out on a limb and say he meant that they don't feel natural... It's not that hard to interpret was trying to get across. That being said, I felt the same as I was running all kinds of crazy angles trying to get to that darn mascot lol.... The desperate scramble looked weird and sometimes ended abruptly when I couldn't get to the mascot in time. The experience is a strange sense of emotions as at first your thinking, "heck yeah! I scored a touchdown!" and then your emotions move to desperation as you frantically try to get to the mascot in time. Is that a large enough explanation for ya?

um ok then

[Exonerated]

LOL. Just don't run to the mascot then...

And as Ian said, the compression on PS3 replays makes the rotation of the ball funky and the replay funky as well.

Hopefully this is not the case in the retail version.,

Ian do you know if these things are fixed for the retail version

Some people have an answer for everything, I was just saying that it feels unnatural. Nice suggestion, genius.
