Im really hoping its just the demo im sure it will get a fresh coat of paint before release , ill check 1 min psn next week also but so far its fun to play and I wanna see how all Qb play .

Are you going to continue to litter every page of this thread with these dumb videos.

I'm definitely enjoying the demo and it has some fantastic features (over the shoulder catches, the presentation, stats, banners, refs etc).

Two things I wanted to point out to Ian and crew, if they read this far.

- When a ball carrier goes into Pro-Tak animation stuff, it seems they slow down significantly. I hit Fitz on a crossing route, and a DB started the Pro-Tak pile up from behind, and rather than keep moving forward, he went from running full sprint to tip toeing along. It seemed his momentum shouldve had him still running forward at a quicker pace

- THere are times on running plays where instead of me seeing the runner go down and then switching to a cut scene, it switches to the cut scene before he hits the ground. Almost like the play is out of my hands so we switch to a different angle.

Overall though, I'm loving it ( 5 min demo on All MAdden if it matters)

It's hard for me to judge this game going by a 5 min demo. I didn't like NCAA10 demo but I like the game. Don't like this demo either. Maybe because it moves way too slow, players are jogging.

Game Speed-Deceasing the game speed was the right decision, but I think 10% was a bit too much. I know we have the ability to change it in the final build, but still I think it should be at 5% for online matches. Line Play-Just like in NCAA, the CPU QBs have WAY too much time in the pocket. This has to be addressed. Everything else was good.... Presentation and more specifically the post-play cut scenes were awesome! All-Madden appears to finally be challenging again.

It is at 5% for online matches.

I know I've said it already, but I absolutely love the running game this year, especially with the slowed down speed. Making the subtle cuts/jukes and getting "skinny" to get thru holes is a thing of beauty.

Also just a tip if that, but for those that are struggling with pass rush, use the r-stick and L-stick in unison. I'm trying to figure out how to get across what I mean, but I was Berry for the Cards and I got pressure on Ben by pressing the L-stick to the right(towards the line) and then pressing the r-stick up/left diagonally and the l-stick to the left at the same time away from the line and I was doing a pretty sweet swim move to get around the tackle. I only got to Ben once, but I forced him to step up in the pocket a few times and he tucked and ran once do to pressure.

Hope that made sense.
