Not sure if it is a coincidence. - Player control feels great. - The commentary sounded improved. - Blocking was improved. - Hit sticks felt satisfying. - I threw intercepts that were not ridiculous. - The scores felt realistic Cons: - Could still exploit the defence with streaks on the outside when they are in zone. - CPU completion percentages were too high (around 90% both games). - Too many injuries (and I was one of the people advocating for more injuries). - I had Lamichael James stiff-arm and truck two defenders in the one play. Ultimately this did what every demo should do. It made me excited for the game. Another quick note, the skills trainer was working for me. Had a message before each playing saying to do a move, I would do it and it would work.

I always wanted the hit stick to be a big reward for the gamer for timing it right. That's why I like Madden 10, I could put on a brutal hit stick and a lot of times I could get a fumble out of it. I hope the hit stick is more important like it used to be, it's a feature that I think they neglected last couple of years. Downloading demo now.

And for those whining about not having the demo, give us Gold guys some love, we gotta get something worthwhile for being gold! haha. Besides free full games of course.
