So far I've played probably 10-12 games.

5/6 against the cpu on all-pro (few games switching sides to only play offense).

5/6 against a friend who's better than me, also on all-pro (i beat him 48-7 with the packers last night lol)

I've played every game on normal speed, except the last one I played just now on slow speed. I thought everyone on here was crazy to switch the speed in the demo and advocate the slow setting so strongly. Well I was wrong, the game was much better on the slow speed setting. I had slightly more time in the pocket, saw fewer sacks, and the game played smoother overall. It felt closer to how madden 10/11 played.

Now I haven't purchased madden since madden 2004; after that I went with 2k5 and stuck with it until I got a ps3 a year or so ago. My friend gave me madden 10 when he got 11, and I've played it somewhat regularly, but didn't love it.

Madden 12 looks like it's going to be the one to get me back into madden. I love the new camera angles/presentation elements. The gameplay in the demo is the best madden has been since this new generation started. The new tackling system works pretty well. Zone defense improvements are good. Lack of suction blocking/tackles is great, and overall it's just the best madden is probably going to be this generation.
