I'm going to delete the demo, read your post a few more times, and forget that I ever played it. Thanks for giving me some hope, because this demo really killed the spirit I had just yesterday. Looking forward to playing the REAL game, that you mentioned in your post.

C'mon man. If the demo let you down to the point you are going to delete it why in the world do you feel the retail version will satisfy you. It's not going to be that drastic of a change so might as well come to grips with that. I'm going to play the crap out of this demo until the retail version comes out. This is going to be a very solid football game.

Anyone else sick of the tackle animation where the ball carrier flys in the in air and lands on his back. Looks like he got hit in the gut with a cannon ball. They finally get rid of the Shot in the Back tackle but it looks like this one (which is just as bad IMO) seems to have replaced it.

On the plus side, it is the only bad tackle animation I have seen. (but I do see it an awful lot).

Just DL'ed both 360 and PS3 versions and judging by the demos I'm gonna go with the 360 version again this year.

Actually it is I don't know if I will ever be able to say that again, but this demo can't even be in the same room with the retail version of the game. Now don't get me wrong the finished version still has its share of issues (pass rush, kick offs, excessive drop backs, etc...)

But its a very good game this demo is trash to me. In the demo the option is broken, the juke animations are stiff/laggy, the speed is off, the kick off %%$^%%$ is still in there, the yellow zones don't work (thats why the middle of the field is wide open all the time) etc...... You should be able to score 50 in the demo without even trying.

I will stop there now don't take this as a stamp of approval on the finished game everyone should still play it for themselves, but I wouldn't put a ton of weight in the demo if you don't like it.

Anti might not like the retail version either and its his decision to make just like yours. However I would give this demo a 3 and the game I played at community day a solid 8.5 based on gameplay alone. When we get that patch I think the game will be a 9. I'm just saying for those of you who don't dig the demo there is hope.
