Yes Sox! I was using the stick most of the time. But just before a tackle I used the B button and Jacobs did like a half spin and kind of sorta running with his back turn and then turning forward (the defender missed me by the way. nice move). That happen I believe when I hit the B button twice. But, when you are in the grasp you can now hit the B button and try to spin out. Watch out though. I did get stripped twice doing it.

Nice touch - when the defender is close press the A button and the person you are running with will try to do a swat or a push down stiff arm sought of animation. Works nice when a defender is coming in strong and you stiff him!! HA

Bottom-line you have control over the gameplay finally in Madden. In the past you were normally a spectator and the animation would take over and that was that.

I was trying to play NCAA earlier but could not stomach it. IMO the demo is wayyyy ahead of NCAA by far.

Agreed. I bleed with the cut from the lone star. Barber will be a 1,000 yard rusher in any league I am in. Provided I get my Boys!

lol...I feel ya. I don't really play online, so I guess I get my pick either way. I try to play a franchise with another team so I can build it up (can't bring myself to cut any of my 'boys...except maybe for you Roy). I'm looking at the Texans this year...maybe even led for a year or two by a certain pill-poppin' gunslinger

Let's lock and start a new thread since this one includes very few actual impressions of the demo.
