i hate when those who complain act like they can change what they put in.simple solution,dont buy the game and please dont post about it.if you already pre ordered it,just shhhh!!!! you know that you are going to be jumping in joy and sleeping with the game case when you get it,lol.

its not worth compaining about if you cant change it and buying the game is easily avoidable.

after playing 1 game of giants and cowboys, my initial impression is this:

-the same "Madden Identity", just slowed down. I think I like the game speed slowing down, but everytime u hear a real life running back speak about the hardest part of the NFL is adjusting to the speed of the game.
-presentation is better. I actually saw Romo with his helmet off and he looked good "no romo"
-the ability to throw from the pocket is there. its so natural, I didn't even pay it any mind.

it didn't wow me because its the same "Madden identity" and I may be growing tired of that. its a good game tho. that's it for now. I'll play more of the demo when I get home.

Will there be a way to turn off the breakaway camera? I hate how the camera starts to shake when you break into the open field. I don't see how this could possibly be thought of as cool to have in the game.

All they had to do was do a facial scan on Ian for this.

Played it and..

-Seems like way too many cut scenes,whatever you want to call it, seems like the camera is hardly ever on the field and they want to try to get to a cut scene asap. I dont HATE it, but at times it gets a little crazy and jumpy. I do HATE how it jumps to a cut scene before a play is fully over or right at the end of a tackle. Hopefully there is an option to turn this off maybe? How will this perform online with all those cut scenes? Hopefully it wont freeze as the chain gang comes out on the field..

-These guys try to break every single tackle. I mean obviously a RB would do so, but sometimes its nice sometimes it seems too much. If you have one defender trying to make a tackle good luck. You better wrap up.

-Just a personal opinion..but I don't like the camera when you drop back and trys to show the entire field, seems too far back. Forgot the name of it. There will be different options to turn that off right?

LMAO at "No romo"..but i agree...Im on the Ps3 and downloaded the demo and i feel that it is a good game and I will be happy to buy it..I like that they slowed down the game and love that you can actually sit in the pocket longer.

In the Giants/Dallas demo, is the wind backwards? Meaning I select to kick with the wind but then the meter shows me going against....

Maybe it's still early in the morning.

LOL reminds me of Dave Chappelle's *****'s Ball. Anyway, the fight for the fumble was full of win. I made the CPU fumble the first play of the demo yesterday...cracked him dead on. I like the fact that you have to press different buttons... its like the ball is moving around in the pile, like it does in real life.

What do you know about football in real life? Have you played a down past high school? Did you even play in HS? The ball doesn't move around in piles when someone jumps on it. There's a lot of unpleasant stuff that goes on in a pile but once a guy jumps on it and secures it, 99% of the time the first guy to get it comes out with it. Fight for the fumble is lame and unrealistic. Bottom line.

I've seen it about 5x and each time, my guy jumps on it first, 2 or more guys jump on it late and because I didn't hit different buttons fast enough in a span of 5+ seconds, my guy doesn't come out with it? I could definitely do without this "feature". Thanks.
