Maybe it's the stadium but I will be playing on the zoomed camera.

I will too, but my worry is that the zoom camera will be too close when it comes to passing.

Still waiting for the PS3 to get the demo, then I can get some AI vs AI impressions... Hopefully...

Also, on a further note. All - Madden isn't quite as fun to play with as Heisman is with NCAA. Out of the box, Heisman plays very well for me.

All - Madden has -

- Too many dropped passes
- Confusingly bad throws at times
- Too much D line pressure in relation to how good the coverage is. In other words, one of them has to give. Either the LB's or DB's awareness needs to drop, or the pass rushing skills need to drop. It isn't a huge problem, can just lead to frustation at times because with Rodgers and the Packers, you would expect much more versatility in the passing game. This can easily be fixed with sliders, however they don't seem to work on the demo as editing sliders, instantly changes the difficulty to Rookie?!?

It would be nice to just see All Madden have improved CPU skill, but also smarter play calling. Rather than just downgrading your team so much that it stops making sense, and equipping the opposition with so much skill that they will outplay you, even if you are Clay Matthews, Arron Rodgers or Greg Jennings.

That's fine and I understand that it's going to be a universal setting.. So do you think it will be set on the "normal setting that it is now or do you think it will be on slow??

I highly doubt it will be slow. They call it "Normal" for a reason, because it's their base setting.

Then I guess you won't be buying it as they're not going to have the speed setting be adjustable online. It's a subjective thing and just because one person thinks it should be "Slow" and "45" doesn't mean that's what the other person thinks it should be. It will be a static setting....and it should be. I don't play the game at the default speed setting but if you're going to play online with millions of other people, you need to accept that a universal setting has to be chosen when it comes to stuff like that.

I thought with the new communities thing you can change your settings and sliders for online games. You'll just have to find a communnity that plays at the speed you like or start your own community with your own settings. At least that's how I understood it.

I own a PS3 and I haven't played it yet, but after watching the game footage why can't EA deliver a clean passing system? Why do QB's look like they aren't even throwing a good ball. It comes off their wrist and the motion is junk. Besides Vick and maybe a couple of other scrambling QB's why are they so FAST?

That's so unrealistic, I shouldn't have to designate a guy to QB spy every possession! This opens up a Wideout or HB that wont be guarded! I hope I can retract these statements once I play it, What does everyone else think?

If you play against the cpu then you will be fine.. It plays nothing like madden 1111 which is a good thing.. As long as you can set the game spped to slow then I would say it's better then NCAA.. But playing on normal speed is pretty acradey and yes on normal speed the qb's run way to fast.. Cutler and Rodgers move like Vick.. It scares me to think of a online game playing someone with Vick on normal speed!!!

Well I would think they would do something like that, I was just referring to random online games. I thought you could change the settings in franchises.

this game is whatever....... it don't make sense to complain because i knew this game was going to be this way. so sad, and this is nfl football.... oh i forgot this is the only choice!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360)

That is correct, the demo build is from early May I believe since it takes 2 months to get it through Sony and Microsoft for approval. This was before any major tuning was done. Demo builds are there to show off the bells and whistles and aren't completely representative of the final product.

Ah that's good to know. Because I have been regularly looking at gameplay footage from E3 etc, and the build then did seem alot better looking than this. And that is saying something!!

Looking forward to launch day even more now!

I hate the "halftime show", I think it is pointless. Where is Chris Berman when you need him? How about some halftime stats, highlights, etc.? Also, maybe in franchise mode, show scores from around the league as well.

Are online community games ranked??? I think you have to play with universal settings to play a ranked game..

You're question has probably already been answered, but if I had to guess, I'd say ranked matches will be on normal, but you can join an online community that will be on Slow if you wish (I believe).

Just shutup and leave then. We get it, you don't like it. And it's not even that easy to get from you considering how you "talk." Get off this board if you don't like the game.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360)

Does anyone know why there isn't any commentary? What's the reason behind that? I think the Demo would have a whole different outlook if it was included. What do you guys think?

I thought this was an impressions board? Those were his impressions. If you don't like it, why don't you leave? Last I checked we all have our own opinions...
