Thanks. Remember though (my little disclaimer...lol) that these are very quick things I noticed early on. I'm sure there are more little things both good and bad if you spend more time with it. For example, one thing I forgot to add is about tackling. It seems guys "clean up better than 08 and there are a lot less rediculous hits. You still see a few, however (and the one were you seem to just fall flat down like in cartoons upon impact is still in, though it appears not nearly as frequent)

I'd like to point out something. Yes the game does end when you score a TD but if you want to get the feel for the tackling, instead of scoring the TD kick a fieldgoal. This will then alow you to kick off to the Pats and you can see how the kick coverage works, and make a tackle. Once the play is over the game ends. This worked with the DVD demo so I'm guessing it will with this one also.

Also with 1:40 on the clock and 3 time outs you have much more then one play. I played the DVD demo non stop for 2 hours so don't be worried that the demo is short, you can keep playing over and over to try different formations and plays.

I'm at 55% now with the newer demo, if I notice any differences I'll post them.

Sorry I was incorrect, this demo only gives you one time out. The DVD demo gave you 3.

Ok very quick impression cuz I need some sleep! LOL. The gameplay feels very good. I completed one deep pass where my receiver had a step on the CB. Seemed very realistic. The running game feels pretty good and responsive. The o line seems to block pretty well. Not like NCAA 09, but realistic blocking. I did have to scramble and pass on the run and my pass was a bit off and incomplete. The graphics are awesome. Very crisp and detailed. I just hope there is some field degradation cuz that adds to the realism. The only negative that stood out right away was the sound. I thought it was awful. Like they put no effort into it. The crowd noise especially is garbage and very generic. Oh and that IQ thing was stupid. I most likely won't be using that feature.

Finished taking the Madden IQ.

Rush Offense: All-Madden
Pass Offense: All-Pro
Rush Defense: Pro
Pass Defense: Pro

IQ:539

As for playing the Madden moment well it was ok. The pats defense was ruthless didn't give me alot of time for deap throws. I like run along the sidelines move with Jacobs trying to stay inbounds.
