Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

I haven't touched the demo in a week and just had a great animation play out. Hester caught one in the back of the endzone and was clearly out of bounds. He signaled to the ref he caught it and started pointing up to the replay booth.

Nice.

Didn't see that in prior games.

I feel this is the best presentation for a football title, just curious if any1 agrees or am I just caught in the moment ? honestly

Maybe it's just me but I thought the players looked great.

I like how defensive lineman/OLBs are quick to react as soon as the ball as snapped compared to previous years where they look like they run out of quick sand when the play starts.

I went back and played some 2K5 the other day just to see how things compared and I have to say, I think Madden may have surpassed it this year for me. Now, I should point out I haven't played 2K5 for quite some time so I'd forgotten a lot of the controls and things like that which didn't help but just the overall look of things is so much better in Madden now and the gameplay is pretty much there too I think.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Madden doesn't have it's issues, but I think it's time to stop comparing it to an old game that was great in it's time but is no longer relevant. As long as the retail version is better than the demo and not worse then I think we have the best American Football game ever. It's not perfect by a long way, but I do think it's got potential to be one of the best we've had.



I'll probably hate it 2 weeks after it's out won't I? Haha!

IMO this demo is crap! They move to damn fast. The last game I played A. Rodgers sprinted fast as hell up the middle broke a DL arm tackle, trucked Urlacker & scored a 20 yrd run. BS! I still will buy it though hoping the retail version will be better.

Sooo, turn down game speed.
