    What do you mean by off to the side? Using the left stick to place the ball?

      That shouldn't be the case though. This psychic BS is the first thing that has to go next year, it almost ruins the game.

        Yes. It generally works best throwing to the WR on the inside.

        There's definitely situations where it's BS, but the one he's referring to is not.
        NFL: Bills
        NBA: Bucks
        MLB: Cubs
        NCAA: Syracuse
        Soccer: USMNT/DC United

          Correct, what I'm referring to SHOULD be happening, it's just hard to get the ball in when they're so quick.

          Thank you

            Whoops, I thought he was referring to when the safety on the other side of the field knows exactly when and where the ball is going. Reading skills a little off on a Sunday All in all, they need to implement a system where the players can't react to what they can't see. I think it was FIFA maybe I saw they were doing something like this?

              After playing a TON of games w/ the auto sprint [OFF], I think the difference between not sprinting and sprinting is minimal, if that...

              Can someone confirm this? I need to know if I'm losing my mind or something.

              What I do is on big plays I'll switch off (sprint, no sprint, sprint, no sprint etc)

                That's a concept people like you will never get, and it's what's killing this forum.
                THANK YOU!! Someone finally noticed. Its all preference, the majority of the madden detractors were probably never really huge fans of the series. I don't play demos but I have been playing Madden 11 for two weeks (I just got it, paying 60 dollars for entertainment purposes just doesn't sit right with me anymore) and if 12 is an improvement over it, then I can't wait til christmas time to cop this bad boy. It should be around 40 bucks then right?

                  It should also be completely patched by then too hopefully.

                    The demo feels like a Re-made combo of 07 to 09

                      The demo impressed me a lot.

                      + The OL is smarter than it was in the previous versions of madden.
                      + Draw plays are now possible (i really hate to be "sucked" by de D-Line every time i run a draw play).
                      + I didn't see the "break tackle festival" i saw in the previous maddens.
                      + Presentation looks great.
                      + A 35 yd Field Goal attempt is no longer equal to put 3 pts on the scoreboard.
                      + The passing game is now better. You can't put the ball exactly where you want.
                      + Tackles are so omuch better now.

                      - Pump fake = sack
                      - Halftime still lacks a player comparison or something.
                      - Seems like they removed the player chatter during the game.
                      - The default game speed is ridiculous. I will play on slow or very slow speed, i'm still trying to decide what is better.
                      - Receivers can't adapt the route to the coverage.

Put the game speed on slow and you can even turn the threshold down to 35, and it plays at a perfect speed (with or without the threshold being lowered).
                        But that serves NO PURPOSE while ur playin ONLINE!!!!!

                            I see your point, but it does serve a purpose with online communities.
