    Next time you kickoff, as you're running down the field, go into aggressive mode and when you approach a blocker hit up on the right stick. LOL. I just leveled a guy.

      Looks like the demo doesn't have local/splitscreen multiplayer, unless I'm missing something.

        If you want a challenge play with either Charleston or Columbus (?). One of the two "average" teams. You'll see where ratings matter. I feel like some of my guys are being dominated physically. I just got my linebacker put on his *** coming in for the blitz. The CPU QB had all day to throw and dropped it in over the coverage for a 50-something yard gain.

          After playing some more I think Hard is the way to go, CPU plays smarter and it feels fair. CPU doesn't feel overpowered on Hard at all.

          Not sure if anybody saw this yet, but I just saw a couple of cut scenes in the game I just played where guys were jawing at each other.

            That's one reason why I love this game. Makes you really feel like a QB under fire.

                Im a football fanatic so this was always going to be a purchase for me. However now im much more excited.

                If only EA and 505 would come together and combine the best parts of both games to give us the ultimate football game. Sadly this will never happen.

                Anyways im excited about the game now, still hate the camera angle tho. Im sure ill get used to it over time.

It's much better than anything we have played, period.
                  On defense, during the play selection screen, it looks like the offensive personnel is missing. Please tell me I'm wrong.

                    Does playing on hard fix the roughing the punter 100% of the time thing (only played on easy and medium before I had to pack up my 360 to take rock band and instruments to work)?

                    Pretty fun, look forward to playing it more over the weekend and getting used to the controls some more. I'm not sure I've successfully fielded a punt/kickoff yet, lol.

                      I don't want EA anywhere near 505 or this engine... Let them build this game up from what it is to the be on par with EA. And let EA innovate themselves. Only then will the gamer be rewarded.

                        Sorry if it's already been asked, but how do you intercept and swat a pass? What button do you press?

                          Youre wrong. Choose "by formation" or another option on the playcall screen, give it a couple seconds, and the personel should come up at the top of the box on the right.

                            Agreed
                            HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                              It's just tackle alley but, i don't think there have been enough comment on pursuit angles.

                              I've been just running down the sidelines and at least in tackle alley(which is the only thing i've played so far) they have great pursuit angles.

                              Also I just seen a guy level me and we slide about 5 feet out of bounds. WOW......I'm only 4 or 5 minutes in and words just don't do justice for the kind of tackles I'm seeing.

                              And don't worry I've seen plenty of wrap tackles but, when the the defender gets a good angle on you and your both running at full speed. Well...I can let you guess what will happen.

                              Wow AGAIN. I just drug a guy for a couple yards. He was late coming in and he grabbed my waist but, just couldn't quite get a hold of me as I ran past him.

                              I will say this though the ball carrier isn't as slow as I thought.

                                One little thing I dont like about defense is that when the ball snaps, you dont really know what player you switched too because everything is going so fast. I just wish they had the little circle like in Madden, showing you the name so I could be more aware of what guy I am on because I would have to move around just to see what person I have,
