I am starting to hate the passing game.

I'm not sure this is in 09. Now this isn't a big deal, just an observation. I did like the closer zoom in on the players in 08 though. Made it feel a little more like tv presentation.

I noticed that, and I seriously came to the conclusion that I'm too used to looking at 08. The insanely shiny uniforms just seem more "clear" compared to the 09 demo. Doesn't mean they're more realistic, but I was so used to looking at 08. So, given that 09 actually looks more realistic in terms of uniforms also means I think they're worse graphics because they're not shiny and overly done. Hope that makes sense. They look normal, not exaggerated.

Plus, the field looks 100x better than last year, so I will take these uniforms with that field, easily.

Adam, I really enjoyed the mascot game in the demo as well and I'll admit it in public!!

I'm trying to change your mind, but why do you think people consider controlling the players more along the lines of "steering" if it was better in the PS2 version?

You had to steer your players into open spots and the players with higher rated agility could not "cut on a dime."

I enjoyed the controls but I wouldn't necessarily call them better. With the addition of foot planting animations I honestly feel they are employing a more realistic degree of movement with the players on PS3. It's not 100% yet, but it's getting better every year.

There's no convincing some people. They always have to have some kind of beef with EA of some kind. First it was 2k vs EA now its EA vs EA(Past Gen vs Cur Gen). It's ridiculous and immature.
