Do people still really play on Normal speed?

NCAA 12 got the game speed perfect. Madden's players feel to light for me on normal though.

Actually, they changed the default speed to slow a few weeks after release.

That's not true. I've put loads of pressure on Rodgers and Cutler on slow speed at All Madden difficulty.

I played the demo last night on very slow and its still faster than it should be. I can Madden 12 will be more arcade based than simulation. Oh well, if franchise mode is fun, I'll deal with it.

I don't know, I found very slow was perhaps slightly too slow when I tried it again today. There are things I prefer about it but I think slow is probably the best setting for me.

I find it difficult to judge as, being from the UK, I've never actually played a proper game of American Football myself but having said that I doubt anyone on here has played in the NFL so guessing how it should be is just as hard.

I watch a hell of a lot of NFL during the season and in my mind the slow setting seems to play out the best to me from a TV standpoint if not an on the field one. I'm presuming the guys that like the faster settings are approaching it from the standpoint of being a player on the field whereas I'm after the look of a TV broadcast. Not sure why they should be any different but there you go, maybe it's just that you see more at once as a TV viewer and the slower speed replicates that more.

I agree.. if anything it seems like i get more sacks on slow because the QB doesn't throw the ball as quick either.

I've noticed this as well, get sacked and picked more on slow because it seems to slow down the QB's throwing motion and the ball more than it slows down everything else?

I think it was slow on 10 and normal on 11.. I have no problem seeing stuff develop on fast or very fast.. Once you get use to the speed it becomes normal. Plus I like the challenge of having to make quick decisions anyway. I don't need the game to be slowed down for me to make my reads. It makes the game real easy for me when I get online and play with normal speed because everything is slowed down on offense and defense. I wouldn't be able to handle playing on slow. That would be very frustrating for me.. But to each his own. Everybody has to play on the speed there comfortable with. I just don't like how people can come on here and say which speed is realistic when most people prefer different speeds..
