My third post about the Demo.
its mostly con's. personally, as far as gameplay wise, I don't feel that the game offers enough new features or change to warrant a purchase.

The new defensive adjustments at the line of scrimmage offered a lot of potential. However, the user will in all likely-hood have issues making these adjustments on the fly, because the AI/controlled team never runs clock or take their time to audible etc. The most defensive adjustments Ive been able to make is just the typical guess run left, run right, pass etc. and tight coverage, but there are so much more adjustments one could make. Again, the pace that the CPU/Ai controlled teams use make it impossible.

EA's CPU/AI clock management has always been horrible and now they really stand out.

The IE has been cleaned up, but last years version had more umphh too it, despite all the weird tackles.

Where are the penalties
QB's are too efficient.
Commentary, From what I can tell, not that much of an improvement from last year.
wont comment about sidelines, etc.
crowd/stadiums seemed livelier in last years version.

the demo should have offered us more camera angles.

Maybe the be a owner mode will be the saving grace for this title.

I believe that the budget for Madden probably went into the next gen version. They just cleaned up the IE in this version.

Im on the fence with a purchase. I may just play Madden13, or get my fix with 2k.

not bashing EA, IM just saying.
