Love the demo, my only issue is the replays again. Day 1 buy for me

Zone D is MUCH better. The defense fooled me a couple times which normally never happens in Madden.

All pro is way too easy for defense. Held the Bears to 7 passing yards, -4 rushing yards, and had 10 sacks. Sliders should fix this.

Play action is still an instant sack. Tried in on 3 different occasions, never had a chance to throw the ball.

I've only played on quarter so far so I can't form an opinion yet however I'm seeing what looks to be a serious flaw so far. Twice The Bears have punted to me, both times my punt return blockers have just moved out of the way instead of actually blocking, allowing my punt returner to get nailed and he has fumbled both times. WTF is this?

New kick meter is excellent. Back to the game.

Just seen a few career stats banners pop up during the game!

Game looks a lot better than last years

called 4-3 cover 3 on my first defensive play and picked off aaron rodgers.

Kicking is definitely a lot tougher so far, the new kick meter is a little "odd"

Tackling is improved just as NCAA's was.

You can change sliders/difficulty, etc.

The passing/release seems to be similar to NCAA where you have to start your deep throws early or you won't get the pass off.

Drags don't seem to be as effective(thank god)

pump fake button still sucks, because you can't protect the ball as the QB when you get hit because its the same button.

Haven't seen the surprise onside kick option

play action worked well for me when i set it up, out of shotgun and i-form

Aaron Rodgers runs like michael vick

Crowd loudly booed when I picked off Cutler for the second time. First time I've heard that in Madden in awhile.

When showing a player getting up after a play, it seems refs and background objects/people will randomly appear and disappear.

While the tackling is improved, it seems every hit is a "big hit". Haven't seen much standard wrap up tackling. Every time I get hit, I get thrown in one direction

+ : Beautiful, EA television broadcast style is really NICE, OL-DL interaction better (like NCAA FB 12), zone D correct, no suction, tackling looks good, ball physics improved (not perfect but better) ...

- : Replays are too short & lack of "authenticity", QBs are way to fast, too many big hits, no WR/CB interaction, Super LB still here ...

Got a half in and was up 10-0 as the Packers. We picked off Cutler 3 times so I'd say that was pretty realistic

Enjoyed the little time I had to play. The players seem to have more weight about them than NCAA does which is a good thing. The Bears were able to bring some heat on me, looking at the replays my offensive line blocked the correct guys but I failed adjust my protection so they often out numbered my protection.
