Love the gamespeed!

Pro-tak looks awesome... it really does make the game flow smoother.

Block shedding = improved! I am able to use my R-stick just like APF's reach tackles to manipulate the block and make the tackle.

The pass rush and pocket are both things I've never seen in Madden before. On a 3rd and 3 I tried to scramble for the 1st with Eli and the DE kept his contain very nicely.

The momentum isn't perfect, but it's there. Ideally this year we'll have to respect the laws of physics at least somewhat in terms of changing direction and speed loss.

The graphics are easily the best I've ever seen in a sports game personally. My gosh those players look and act lifelike.

As someone else stated, the celebration right after the score looks really sharp. last year's dead time in selecting the area of the endzone to celebrate in kind of killed the moment.

I saw new tackle animations immediately. I personally have no beef with canned animations, just need huge variety.

The increase in difficulty on the hitstick is a very welcome addition.

Honestly it feels like EA has catered to my concerns very well. Maybe they actually did read what I wrote. It feels that way because the game feels very much like I described wanting it. Running animations never even crossed my mind. I was too busy admiring the improved collision detection! EA made a big step forward on a really strong principle = player interactions! I was begging for 2 things = player interactions and momentum. I got them both. Seeing those LB's shed blocks got me SO jacked up.

Coming from a guy whose favorite game is APF= Madden football is BACK in 2009!

Xbox Live has Dallas vs NY - 1 min quarters demo. PSN it comes out on July 30th.



I can't stand folks here who throw the demo on for the first time and switch the difficulty on to All-Madden, and then start complaining about how bad it is after 2 games and they can't do anything.

Play on a lower difficulty, you're not that good people.

Thats why I play on all-pro.

Why are players on the sidelines wearing coats during cutscenes but they're not during gameplay? WTF? Although the cutscenes do look great, why can't we have the players on the sidelines look like the do in the cutscenes during gameplay? Sideline players still look like cardboard cut outs. It kind of defeats the purpose of having cutscenes. It's almost as if the beutiful cutscenes magnify how ****ty the sideline players look during gameplay. I don't want to hear that they have to sacrifice stuff to get the game to run at 60fps. With all the power of these "Next Gen" systems this shouldn't be the case. Also, we need some collision detection for the sidelines. We still have players walking through players on the sidelines after the play. Hopefully next year this will be at the top of the list to get fixed.
