I like how If you throw across the body the pass doesn't come close to completion. And I like the placement of the balls thrown on deep routes. I really wish we could play defense. My only nitpick are the damn colored visors. Clear and tinted grey/black are the only ones allowed in the NFL. Yet B. Meriweather has a red one. B.Westbrook has a green one (doesn't even wear one). P. Wilis has a red one and Ed Reed has a purple one in the screens I've seen on here and demo. I'm still pumped for the game though.

I don't think anyone in their right mind can dispute that. -I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but I feel like there's too much loft on some of the passes. Maybe that's just me. -I'm not too impressed with this highly touted breakaway animation engine. I was looking to see some new creative tackle animations and break out of several of them. But for the most part, the tackling doesn't look or feel much different than that of Madden 08. After seeing the clips that EA marketed this year regarding the new animation engine, I expected much more. -All in all, it feels like good ol' Madden gameplay. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing depends on what side of the fence you sit on. I do hope to see the game speed toned down in the future though (along w/ players walking to the line of scrimmage ).

Keep in mind..your playing a 1gb demo.. do you honestly believe all the tackling, breaking out of tackle,etc animiations are crammed into a 1gb demo?

Damn, I just missed a huge opportunity. I scored a touchdown with 3 seconds left, but it might of been out of bounds. Anyways, it let keep playing! I scored the extra point and kicked it off. Unfortunately I should have kicked it out of bounds or something so I could have played 1 play on defense. But instead I just did a regular kick off and the return took the rest of the time up. Oh well...

I did the same thing, but it ends after you tackle the return guy even if you have time on the clock. It was cool running down and making the tackle though.
