honestly..i wasnt impressed at all with the demo..understanding that it is very limited with what you can do..i didnt enjoy it that much..does anybody know if the final build was much ahead of THIS build of the demo? It doesnt seem fully developed and I got frustrated with it pretty early..

My sole point was I don't know why we are surprised that the DB's reacting to the ball without turning their heads first because we were told about it ahead of time. I am in no way shape or form saying its ok or acceptable, just that its there and we were told about it. Hopefully that will end this discussion and clear up any confusion my intial post caused. My fault guys. -CB

I give up

i think it's tight. if it was like NCAA i would've been pretty distrustful. i liked what i saw.

i was sacked, had pockets, had nice runs, bad runs. NE d challenged me pretty good, atmosphere felt superbowlish ...

if the sliders work, i'm sold.

I couldn't disagree more. I felt like it has a lot of promise. Unfortunately, as has been pointed out, the demo is so short that it's really hard to tell. I had a lot of fun with the demo and after playing it a few times didn't see anything that stood out as doom and gloom negative.

A lot of people want to hate this game. How some are making such incredible leaps of judgment on a short demo are indicative of mistrust/negaitve attitudes towards EA. See the one post above where the person thinks the reason the demo doesn't let you play defense is because EA doesn't want you to know the defense is broken.

Mistrust.

Enjoying the demo myself. Wish there was some collision detection for the sidelines. I think NCAA09 has some.
