You sound like Napoleon Dynamite. Get a new TV. LOL. That is a pretty lame glitch though. Please remember that it is a 1 minute demo. Hopefully these glitches will be fixed. I threw one pass with Roelthisberger that went right through Rolle's chest into Holmes's hands. It was really bad. That has by far been the worst glitch I have seen yet. All in all I still think the demo is pretty solid, but far from perfect. I wish 2K could still make football games.

That would be annoying. It's nothing special to see a play go less than 5 yards so why should they show it? Only kind o of plays they should show less than 5 yards would be on the defensive side of the ball. That's just my opinion.

Fixed.

after playing the Pre-order version i can certainly see the IAN touch here.... really a step up in terms of this being more of an NFL game.

Much less arcadey (regardless of all the piddly, nagging issues)

It is the first NFL next Gen game IMO and not just another Madden.

Quick question..and forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but is there no commentary in the pre-order demo? Im on the PS3 by the way.

That's affirm- no commentary or play-by-play.

It's nice that guys actually press at the line now (most of the time), but they immediately give the guy the inside route and let him run crazy across the middle. If you don't press, it seems like they give the guy a permanent 5 yard cushion, and sure enough they run wild all over you. -The zone still does not work properly. Instead of guys actually covering the receiver that comes into their zone, they just stay rigid in their pattern until the ball is thrown and then make a play on the ball. They basically ignore the receivers most of time. What defenses do you guys have success with? It seems like you can't go all out man, so (like I had to do with the last Madden) you just have to put everyone in zone and hope that the defensive pattern happens to much up with the offensive one. It's very frustrating that it's so unreliable. And to top it off, it seems that the CPU plays perfect pass defense. They press at the line and hold my guys there, and when they do release they are actually running slightly ahead of my receiver on their routes. Clearly the potential is there for the AI to play competent defense (even too competent), so why the heck does it only happen for the CPU and not my CPU teammates???

I totally agreee with this guy. My ONE gripe is that players don't play zone correctly and I get beat on slants when playing man to man. I guess I would just like to know what defenses you guys are using to stop the pass? I'm playing on the Gamestop ps3 demo if it makes any difference.
