I'm having a little more luck with DE pass rush than on 08 but my DT's seem useless.

I'm still a little disappointed we don't have different QB passing animations. That is still really sloppy and they've managed to look past that aspect again.

how can you tell playing with the same 2 qbs?

[Scoop 24]

just curious anyone figure out how to showboat on a breakaway on Ps3?

[Exonerated]

how do i trigger celebrations besides the mascot one [ps3]?

Bobble catches and tipped interceptions are bloody amazing.

I like the feature when you get burned showing what play the opponent picked and getting a composure lift. What exactly does this do though? Boost stats temporarily?

Adam,

I'm one of the few that isn't impressed with the demo whatsoever. Now, I realized I asked this question in PM, and you responded the very next day, unlike the Madden guy who refuses to address this issue... but I have to ask again. Honestly, is the CPU AI improved whatsoever from the awful '08 title, or will the turnovers I've seen in the demo, still be there on the higher difficulty settings? The response I got in PM was positive, and I was counting down the day until the release, but then I played the demo - and I'm not liking it whatsoever. Now, I'm not judging the actual game based on the demo, so I need reassurance once again...... Was the CPU AI at all improved? I'm talking about CPU only... CPU throwing 4 picks per game (which happened in every demo game I played), CPU refusing to pass the ball deep (Not a single deep pass thrown by the CPU in any of the demo games I've played). You seem like an honest guy, and I really don't feel like wasting $120 on two games where I'll pick the CPU off 4 to 5 times per game again. Also, do the game play sliders mean anything at all this year, which would really help us fix the lack of CPU intelligence?

I feel the Madden guy is avoiding the question, though.. I'd be happy with even a ''No, the CPU stinks again this year'' answer, if it's going to save me a few $$$.

Thanks again.

It still amazes me that people continue to say the interceptions are very abundant, because I am not seeing this whatsoever. I'm not saying it is not happening. Apparently, it is according to some.

But I know from last year, it was clear as day for me. On this demo, I don't see it.


Are these people blitzing all the time or what?

Ints and fumbles aren't that common.

Its a game by game basis though. One game i picked off 4 and recovered a fumble. Others there are no turnovers watsoeva. Some games are 28-7. others are 7-0. well imo, i think its going to be a great game.
