    Small thing but check out what happens when you play Colts vs Colts or Jets vs Jets. Collinsworth talks about cloning.

    But the more notable thing is not that they bothered to record dialogue for if you play with the same team but that there's multiple takes. When I did Colts vs. Colts, they said completely different things in the beginning than when I did Jets vs. Jets.

        LOL...I've played about 9 games thus far and in every single one, Bob Sanders comes up lame at some point.

          I really don't like the new audible system. New gamers might like it, but anyone that is experienced in Madden will absolutely hate it. It takes more time to do less. It feels like you have to click more buttons, to make less happen. I have no idea what kind of a parodoxical world they wanted to create, when making the game faster with GameFlow, then slowing it right back down with the "strategy pad."

          For me, this has made the demo absolutely unplayable.
          i agree exactly with u on every point

            God I hope the game is far more polished than this. The play art is downright ugly, it's almost impossible to set up your offense or defense with the "strategy" pad, and running out in open field is boring. It's boring because you can't cut back. I thought their approach this year was complete control with the left stick...you can't stutter step, you can't make a quick cut, the running game in open field seems completely off. NCAA's demo seems a lot more polished and is a lot more fun. And their approach to play calling makes tons more sense.

            Also, personally I think they should just make the game normal speed. I think that they should get rid of the speed sliders because it just makes the game seem like it's not finished and they're depending on us to complete the job. That was all good last year, but I think they should've upped the anti this year. I'm going to redownload it and see if I can get accustomed to it, but my first impression is that madden is a pass this year...again.

              you cut back and make your moves using the r-stick. You can lean, cut, juke, spin, etc...using the right analog stick.

                played my first overtime game. Beat the Colts 13-10. Scored 10 pts in the 4th quarter to tie the game and then won the toss in OT, and kicked a field goal on the opening drive and left a minute on the clock. The Colts drove down but I was able to get to Manning with around 30 seconds to go on a key 3rd down from my 40 yard line. After that, they had to try and heave one deep and get out of bounds, but Revis knocked the pass away from Gonzalez.

                I like the new OT rules.

                  I hope they slow it down because it seems to move to fast for me at least

                    Gameflow -is cool but nothing more..

                    Gamespeed- is really slow and its annoying. Yes the gameplay needed to be slowed down but not this much its ridiculous. I dont feel like im playing with NFL players in a game this slow

                    Player Models- NCAA player models are leaps and bounds ahead of madden.. the player models look last gen but in HD..

                    Locomotion- NCAA feels much mure fluid it can be due to game speed but idk

                    Animations- NCAA>... Gang tackles, broken tackles, catch animation. You name it they all look better in NCAA
                    Agree completely. What does Ian and gang think they are doing? Jeez...

                      interesting.

                      someone else had a game go into OT..kicked a FG..game over...no new OT rules in effect in his game.

                      he started a thread on it

                        thats what I was expecting to happen, that I would be declared the winner after my field goal, even moreso with Gus saying that I had indeed won. But I was taken back to the play call menu where I kicked off and the Colts had their chance.

                        Pretty entertaining. Love shutting down Peyton Manning.

                          I gotta say, aside from the audio, which is clearly somewhat messed up in the demo, I'm loving this game more everytime I play it. Player models look and move great, most, if not all, of the animations are completely improved, and the graphics look VERY good with the improved lighting.

                          August 10 is going to be a good day for me

                            Couple more impressions after playing some more games:

                            1. Why does the air horn sound after kickoffs? That got annoying really quick.

                            2. The game is unbalanced towards offense. In about 23 plays my last game, I scored 24 points with the Jets. I really hope the sliders can even that out a bit. That would be a 48-56 point game if we had a full game of 50+ plays.

                              The Jets sound an air horn in real life after each kickoff by them.

                                After a few demo games, I've decided to skip on Madden for the first time since I can remember. The lack of multiple hit tackles, the boring presentation, and the eyesore of players warping all over the place just sucks the life out of the experience for me. I feel like the chess match of Madden is a thing of the past.

                                Passes are still always on the money, and the game compensates by having DBs drop INT's. Problems that have plagued the game for the entire life of the franchise on next gen still exist. This game doesn't feel like they put in a full cycle of work in.

                                The last 2 sports games I really got into were MLB The Show and PES, and Madden just doesn't meet that level of quality, unpredictability, and immersion.
