      I liked that I was timing a pass on a cut route, and as he was cutting (in the snow), he fell down - ball rocketed past him for an incompletion.

      Nice little touch.

        What are the similarities and differences? More/less/different animations?

        Do they block on punt returns or are two or three guys always free.

        I'm a fan of the Gameplan feature in NCAA. Is this or anything similar in Madden? Is there any way to tighten up zone coverages? If the cpu does snap the ball rather quickly this at least allows you to make some adjustments pre-snap.

        A lot of people complained about pass rush in NCAA but I really didn't have a prob with it. When controlling D-linemen are you able to get pressure? Again I wish we had the Gameplan feature to aggressively rush the passer.

        Run game sounds good. Noticing any differences when running with different backs? Power backs vs. shifty backs?

        Is covering crossing routes a little easier? Are linebackers getting better drops in coverage? Does the secondary play better down and distance football? i.e. if it's 3rd and 7 are they tightening up the zones a bit or are the still taking 15-20 yard drops?

        I've seen passes sail out of reach any come up short or low?

        Thanks.

        The game feels nothing like NCAA...the speed is way slower and there are tons of animations that you do not see in NCAA

        No gameplan in Madden

        The pass defense in All Madden is sick and much better then ncaa

        All Pro not so much

        All Madden I saw no pass rush from me but on All Pro i was all over Ben


        Linebackers do drop back better but hard to gauge until sliders are tweaked to get a balance between all pro and all madden

        Running game is the best...Wells was powerfull and Arrington was shifty and quick..

        Using the left stick gives you the quick juke...Nice new touch

          3 seconds left kicked a game tying (sp?) FG . Time expired. Got a holding call and lost the game. Really EA?
          Well, thems the breaks, right? I'd be more disturbed if they explicitly blocked that possibility. But I thought games couldn't end on a penalty. Did you re-kick and miss?

            Damm I was not aware that you could change sliders in the demo

            You can change them in the MY Skill section when selecting teams and difficulty and change the sliders to your choice

            Once again I see no cpu sliders....

                  Also the computer didn't run the ball and clock when it was winning. They kept throwing in the 4th quarter

                      MLB the show has the same issue with cutscenes....I never seen a game that has perect cutscenes that run with real time

                      I skip through them all anyway...and this is already on the first day with a demo

                      I have seen them in videos enough to know they will get old fast

                          Can the cpu run the ball on you in All-pro?

                          I know it's probably too early to tell but does the game seem to play better on All-pro or All-Madden? If the sliders are good I usually tweak from all-pro. But sometimes all-Madden just plays a better game.

                                The demo is not doing a good job of selling the game to me.

                                I play as a Defensive End on defense and I'm STILL getting "stuck" to offensive lineman, even when my back is to the QB and I want to turn around to get the QB... I'm STUCK facing the Offensive Lineman... which means he's holding onto me and not letting me turn around. That amounts to a HOLDING PENALTY in the real NFL, yet in Madden it's considered a good block?



                                I thought they fixed suction-blocking?

                                Why isn't blocking more collision/spacial based? Why does it have to be "sticky"?

                                This is the type of stuff that is clearly an engine limitation and the reason they need to dump some of the canned stuff and go with a more collision-based engine.
