      Both sides of the ball? Not sure if your playing on hard or what teams your using but the CPU AI defense is fine and actually pretty good. CPU AI offense is the problem.

        but it says exclusive for gold members only. Even though it does'nt have the little red circle with the line through it...weird.
        Anybody else having this problem?

          I'm pretty impressed with the demo. There are going to be issues with this game. It's their first attempt but what they are accomplishing with player interaction is highly impressive.

          It's not perfect by any means, but compare this demo alone to any football game ever released and the BB team come out doing some things much better.
          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

            If you like to play online, you won't care. Also the AI is not "terrible" on both sides. I think human vs human is going to be awesome. The computer AI is pretty bad so far when it comes to QBs, but the defense is not terrible.

            That being said..how do we know that it is not like Tecmo Bowl where the AI sucks for a while but gets tougher and tougher the deeper the season gets?

              Dude you just read my mind! That is exactly what I was thinking, the CPU may ramp up as the season goes on or it my get better as you get better.

                why is it that the game plays alot smoother and faster on arcade mode. everything is alot better from the the Qb drops back, the tackling, just everything about the game beautiful in arcade mode. not to say that the other modes are not nice, but arcade is off the hook, and its not over the top stuff happening it actually gives you a better feel of the sport, check it and hit back. yes sir

                  I would say the arcade mode will more interesting than the normal mode.

                    Really? I need to check this out. I literally never once played the game in arcade mode.

                        I'm on the PS3, so no demo. Quick question. Has the camera made anyone seasick? I can't play 1st person games due to nausea, and even some 3rd person games make me a little quezy. I'm hoping the BB camera doesn't have this affect.

                          It was mentioned early in the thread, yeah. My wife can't watch me play for the same reason.

                            Not to say the game is bad but I'm having an awful time here.

                            I don't understand how the passing works? I'm just supposed to press up for a normal pass and down then up for a lob pass,I get that part but how do I aim/lead a reciver? The ball just seems to be going in random places.

                            Also is there some sort of defensive player lock? It keeps defaulting me back to the same outside LB. I haven't had time to switch a few times.

                            How do I call a fair catch on punts?

                              To lead or aim a receiver you have to press in the direction you want to lead after pressing up on the stick. So for instance if you want to lead a receiver in front of him to the right, push the stick up and then move it to the right immediately after. At least I think that is how it works.

                              At the play call screen on defense there is an option to lock on to the player you want. Forgot what button it is though.

                              I think you press Y to fair catch punts, could be mistaken though. It is one of the face buttons.

                                Note that all the leading and stuff can only be done in pro, not arcade mode.
