Really? Damn, I cannot wait to play this game.

For a demo this is a really good showing, little things to fix but this is much better than expected!
I am very happy with the results, and what a platform to build on! Lets go Madden devs you get 2 thumbs up

The half was ending and Neil Rackers was out to attempt a 40 something yard field goal. I was playing as the Steelers so I called a time out. I then saw a Cutscene of Rackers and the Cardinals Coach talking on the sideline. Rackers then missed the kick lol

I did make an appeal at CD for them to not ship this on slow speed. I still say doing that will be a mistake, but what's done is done...

I don't have a big problem with the slow speed, but I'd prefer normal and since I got to play it on normal at Community Day and did enjoy it, I'm pretty comfortable in that preference.

What I'd like to see from computer controlled players on human controlled teams is ACTIVITY. I want to see the offensive linemen working hard against these top flight guys. More pressure and penetration. What I don't like is when guys are stonewalled by inferior linemen. The whole stonewall instant death grip is what I don't like. Overall though I guess it's something that can be tweaked with sliders so it'll probably not be a problem but, players should play to their ratings regardless of whether you're playing on all-Madden or not.

I don't think people realize how hard it is to get a sack. But it's not always about actually bringing down the QB. Sometimes just getting pressure on him is enough to have an impact and that's what the d-end is trying to do.

I really liked seeing you get intercepted when you dropped back 20 yards to pass at 3:50 of that first video.

i like the demo, the game is a definite improvment over the last version.

one problem still exists(psychic D):

the D knows exactly when the receiver has the ball

during pass plays once the receiver catches the ball the entire defense turns in unison to pursue the ball carrier no matter their position on the field or assignments(not facing the play,man coverage etc..)...it doesn't matter they all turn to the ball carrier.

i wonder if this will be adjustable with a defensive awareness slider????

i will be picking the game up on release day...good job guys.
