There literally hasn't been a sports game since, let alone football or subsequent games by 2K, that has been able to replicate that, and this is going on 7 years now. I'll admit, the team intros and broadcast elements looked good initially, but I've honestly seen too many gameplay videos already to the point where those elements are already old to me. The best presentation in the world won't save stale gameplay in the long run, but that's just my opinion. I'll discontinue this debate on my end as I don't want either of us to catch any infractions for comparison debates.

NBA 2k11's halftime show was a lot better than NFL2k5's.

If you like to play online offense looks way to easy. Some good things I saw but I hate playing 35-42 games all day long and no defense will kill it for me.

zone is nowhere near as good as in ncaa. its actually pretty bad. hope they fix that before release.

It's a glitch in thinking then. Horrendous design decision and that is actually worse than it being a in game glitch because they MEANT to do it. Not good. We need to vote with our wallets on this one and maybe they will fix the error in their "design".

Interesting you say that, what difficulty are you playing on? All my games have been in the single digits to low teens.

The dropped passes in this game for users are still a shame, as well as the 1 second rush blocking system they use when they block until you get the ball then they let go no matter who it is. J. Finley has about 8 drops a game for me as well. Breaking tackles, missing blocks, and un-represented player attributes, Madden is terrible. You either beat down All-Pro or watch BS happen on All-Madden.

It has always been that way, all Madden has always been super human. Players play way above their ratings and very unrealistic. That is the intention. Even the dev team will tell you that all pro shows off the players true ratings.

First impression, really liked the demo, gameplay was fluid, game feels great on offence and on defence, zone defense is much better.
Some other things that i liked was that I was able to block a PAT and i saw a pass interference call on the CPU.
Also Jay Cutler was scrambling a lot, really good to see QB Scrambling
