Before I get to my pros and cons I have to say this game, to me, "feels" like a game of football. This demo is without question LIGHT YEARS ahead of the NCAA retail build. I am glad I have NCAA to trade in for $30 credit should I decide to get M12. Is it a day one purchase? Not for me. I have learned my lesson from EA and even though this demo is remarkable I will wait a few weeks before "green lighting" a purchase. Now, on to the pro & cons.
PROS:
*Suction blocking? Almost non existent, on a few occasions I just powered through blockers using Julius Peppers (even pushing a FB all the way back to Rodgers, nice look and feel) without having the worry of being sucked into a OL block animation.
*Graphics/Presentation. Game is stunning and the Presentation is something that I have never seen in a Madden Game. Field/Jersey degradation, Paint/Dirt on helmets and players skin looks fantastic.
*Tackling and Zone coverage is much improved.
*No super LBs that I saw
*DPP is awesome, got to Ryan Grant early and he got the "doesnt fight for extra yards tag". Nice touch I attacked him early and he never seemed to get going.
*Kicking meter is nice. I dont understand why so many are bothered by it. The kicking camera is also very sleek and looks like a real telecast.
Cons:
*The amount of Big Hits is overdone and actually kind of phony.
*Physic DBs are unfortunately here, but this always been in Madden.
*D-Pad strategy pad is clunky and slow (this can be changed however).
*Player "floating" is kind of cheap, not stopping and cutting on dimes, but guys just seem weightless sometimes.
I cant think of anything that is "wrong" with the game. Barring an unforeseen tragedy in the retail build, this game has the potential to be one of, if not the best Madden we have ever seen. EA really did a great job.

If you watch the videos of the recent build of the game, it looks like the game has actually improved quite a bit since the demo. It definitely is more polished when it comes to throwing animations, ball physics, and replays.
