Played my first game of the demo, All Pro, I used the Packers.

PROS:
-Graphics and presentation are both finally up to par.
-Gameplay seems to be a step in the right direction. There are still the same typical 'Madden' issues, like certain plays almost always being more effective than others (Slants).

CONS:
-Scrambling w/ Rodgers for me was too easy, and I echo those who are worried about Vick cheesers, particularly online. Just seems like QB speed in general should be toned down, b/c I could run at will w/ Rodgers, which is not a good thing. Once or twice is fine, but the CPU should adjust and be able to stop it eventually.

-CPU AI still seems to be bonehead at times. Bears (CPU) down 4 /10 sec left, 1 TO left, 2 & long at their own 40 or so, and they run a draw play and have to use their last TO. And then 3rd and long w/ no TOs and 7 sec left they run a draw again. Don't know what that was all about.

I'm still torn on this game. There are definite improvements but there's still a feeling of 'meh' for me. I did like it better than the NCAA demo, which I didn't like at all. Will wait and see what others think before deciding whether or not to buy.
