If the cpu does snap the ball rather quickly this at least allows you to make some adjustments pre-snap. A lot of people complained about pass rush in NCAA but I really didn't have a prob with it. When controlling D-linemen are you able to get pressure? Again I wish we had the Gameplan feature to aggressively rush the passer. Run game sounds good. Noticing any differences when running with different backs? Power backs vs. shifty backs? Is covering crossing routes a little easier? Are linebackers getting better drops in coverage? Does the secondary play better down and distance football? i.e. if it's 3rd and 7 are they tightening up the zones a bit or are the still taking 15-20 yard drops? I've seen passes sail out of reach any come up short or low? Thanks.

The game feels nothing like NCAA...the speed is way slower and there are tons of animations that you do not see in NCAA

No gameplan in Madden

The pass defense in All Madden is sick and much better then ncaa

All Pro not so much

All Madden I saw no pass rush from me but on All Pro i was all over Ben


Linebackers do drop back better but hard to gauge until sliders are tweaked to get a balance between all pro and all madden

Running game is the best...Wells was powerfull and Arrington was shifty and quick..

Using the left stick gives you the quick juke...Nice new touch

Well, thems the breaks, right? I'd be more disturbed if they explicitly blocked that possibility. But I thought games couldn't end on a penalty. Did you re-kick and miss?

Damm I was not aware that you could change sliders in the demo

You can change them in the MY Skill section when selecting teams and difficulty and change the sliders to your choice

Once again I see no cpu sliders....

Also the computer didn't run the ball and clock when it was winning. They kept throwing in the 4th quarter

MLB the show has the same issue with cutscenes....I never seen a game that has perect cutscenes that run with real time

I skip through them all anyway...and this is already on the first day with a demo

I have seen them in videos enough to know they will get old fast
