That's a big beef I have with this game and the same problem exists in 09 (and most EA games the last few years). The inside move is FAR more effective than an outside rush. They still haven't done the outside rush properly where the DE gets upfield without getting slowed down. The great speed rushers will just run around OTs and get the QB at times. The OT will still get a piece of them but it won't slow them down much. EA has always struggled with that due to suction blocking (the DE never fully engages the OT). That aspect of the DE pass rush really needs to be worked on. Maybe guys have figured out how to do it well in the demo but it's something that I've largely given up on.

I'm a tourny player I can tell the difference between a rocket catch and a regular user.

I get some nice Moves against OT, a couple times I went right past the guy with a rip. It works really good one run plays it's nice how you can break off a block and make the tackle without switching guys. DT is a little harder I seem to get pushed down a lot, but I can get pressure.

Even though 09 had some issues, I still had a great time playing it. I still am playing it for that matter. Based on that, do you guys think that I would like 10 or should I skip it and just keep going with 09? Of course I do realize that you can only base your opinions on the demo.

One thing that I would like to say about 10. I think sometimes expectations can be just too high. Without telling my age I made my start on the commodore 64 and I will have to say boy have games changed. Having played on that system, I appreciate the games today. We could still be in an age where the players in Madden still looked like blocks from space invaders. I know technology is far more advanced and capabilities are far greater. I agree that there are too many bugs that slip through the cracks, but most of those do seem to get fixed in the patches. I also agree that 60.00 is alot to ask for a game with issues out of the box, some major at that.....

Sorry, didn't mean to be long winded...

Anyone notice that the controller responsiveness is much better playing on All-American than on Heisman?

I think the button/R-Stick responsiveness while playing on AA is much better than Heisman. After playing about 15-17 games on Heisman and 5 or 6 on AA, I really feel that Heisman has more of a stiff feel to it. Maybe the difficulty won't let you pull off or chain together moves as quickly or whatever, but that's what I am seeing.

FYI - I am on PS3.

I absolutely love the demo though.
