I didnt buy the game last year, I just hated the passing game, felt like I had NO control over my defenders or offensive players..but this year after playing the demo I don't feel that way. I don't think it's quite as responsive as the PS2 version, but that version was probably TOO responsive quite frankly. I'm pretty impressed, I think I'll pick up a copy come July 15th. Oh, and Beanie Wells is a monster. Wow you cannot bring that man down with one guy.

(PS3 version)

Yes it does vibrate, but a bit too much. It vibrates every time I snap the ball.

Which system to you like better overall? Why do you like the ps3 version better?

I have played the 360 demo and currently downloading the ps3 version so I'm trying to decide which system I want to get it for...

I also would like to know if it vibrates with the dual shock 3 controller for ps3?

I just seems slightly smoother but to be honest...I'm getting it for PS3 because the 360 is a P.O.S. It could red ring at any given moment for nothing. Just the other night my wireless controller wouldn't sync with the Xbox and customer service said pay 100 dollars and we'll look at it to see what's wrong with it. A 100 DOLLARS?! I never ever had to get a system fixed. Anyhow I ended up unplugging it from the wall then hooking it back up and it read my controller finally. I don't want to be in the midde of my dynasty/franchise and the 360 just dies for nothing. That's why I'm going to get it for PS3 but it does seem smoother.

Couple cool things I have noticed after playing about 10 games.

1. My QB threw a ball on a comeback route and the receiver jumped to catch it but it was way over his head for an incomplete pass.

2. I dove over a defender with Wells, but he got me as I was overtop of him, causing me to flip in the air and come down hard.

3. DBs will sometimes pick up a an incomplete pass and run with it while looking back.

4. SCREEN PASSES

5. CPU went deep a few times. One was on a 3rd and inches.

6. CPU back to pass, my LB is on coverage of a WR and the WR cut in and the cpu must have thought he was going to cut out and threw the ball way behind him right into my hands.

I think the people who don't like it already made up their mind before they even played it. I mean damn, this game feels so different then 08 its crazy. Tons more anims, improved graphics, players have weight and momentum. I for one cant wait till July 15th.

Agree big time.

I played the PS3 version last night and the main difference was the lighting/color was somewhat different. Not sure which I liked the best as far as that goes. On the field the 360 seemed a bit more smoother but overall both looked and played great IMO. Can't go wrong with either.
I also like the 360 controller better and the fact I'm in a 360 league (LIVE all the way) I'll be getting the 360 version.
