In year's past, this could not be turned off and it looks like it won't be turned off this year either. LAME. 2. Audibles. Why have a different audible system than NCAA? I HATE Madden's audibles. In NCAA and previous versions of Madden (before last year), it was quick and easy to show blitz or change a play but that is not the case in Madden anymore. Both of these issues are deal breakers for me and I will NOT be purchasing Madden this year. I will play NCAA much more. NCAA blows Madden out of the water.

So because you have to press A twice, you won't buy the game?

And dude, you can change the audible/strategy pad to what it used to be.

Stop bi****ng, seriously.

I don't really think you should be able to go through your whole playbook. I could be wrong, but I think in the NFL, most teams go to the line with one play and then a few others that they may switch to.

I just wish they would bring back the r-stick quick audibles. That's far better than the system they have now.

Overally I enjoyed the Demo
At first I couldnt move the ball, then I changed Game Speed and Thres. and some sliders, then I was able to move the ball.
I lost a game 10-6. I couldve won, but I gave up a TD with 20 secs left. Devin Hester beat Tramon Williams deep for a 40 yard deep and then Knox finished up with a TD. It couldve have been 10-9, but I missed a FG.

Same thing happened last year. And then suddenly, when everyone got used to it, kick offs were too easy.

Now that I got my biggest gripe off my chest, time for my favorite addition so far:

Comeback routes are finally effective. Just threw a beautiful pass to Johnny Knox on a come back route towards the sideline and he made a nice one-handed catch and tapped his toes in bounds.

What are the overtime rules in the NFL now? lol I just let the Bears tie it up to see what would happen, and then in OT, the Bears kicked a field goal. I then went down the field and tied it with a field goal. Then the time ran out in OT with the Bears getting stopped at the 12 yardline, and all of sudden it puts another 5 minutes on the board and the Bears have it at my 12. They kick a field goal. Game over.

Well, if one team kicks a FG, the other team will have an opportunity to kick a FG or score a TD. If the FIRST team scores a TD, game over. If neither team wins when time expires, I think it SHOULD be a tie. Not sure about that last part though, just look it up.

Another nice addition: Route running really seems to matter this year. Johnny Knox ran his comeback route to perfection, meanwhile I just had Hester run the same route and he rounded his cut out, which, had the defense been playing man to man would have allowed the CB to easily jump it for an INT.
