No, there hasn't, and actually at this point I'm a bit concerned.

Hey, I'm impressed initially like everyone else, but there are troubling things you see the more you play. The speed isn't an issue, you get used to it. And you will be able to adjust that anyway and they have said so.

I'm concerned about other things like the collision detection issues when the ball actually travels through my receiver in the endzone instead of him catching it or dropping it. That shouldn't be happening.

Also, I just called a 6 man pinch blitz on All-Madden, and what I see on instant replay is really bad.

Dansby, my best linebacker at 89, awareness 85, comes around the corner totally unblocked in the direction of Roethlisberger. He comes flying around the corner within about 3 yards of him, and I thought Ben was toast. But before I can switch to him, instead of going after Roethlisberger, he does almost a complete circle on his own actually running back towards the line away from Roethlisberger, because he notices Moore has come open out of the backfield.

1) I did not ask Dansby to cover Moore, I told him to blitz!
2) Moore was already at least 10 yards away from Dansby and 7 yards past the line of scrimmage when Dansby decided to start to go after him, while Ben was only 3 yards and half a second from being on his backside.
3) To make things worse, after Dansby almost returns to the line of scrimmage after making almost a complete circle changing his mind and going after Moore, he suddenly reacts like, oh, THAT's the QB, and decides to go after Ben after all.
4) Ben has had enough time now, and throws a 35 yard pass for a TD.

I wish I had the video to show you how bad this looks, (I don't have the means of doing that) but maybe someone can re-create this for themselves by calling 6-man pinch blitzes against offenses with the HB coming out of the backfield and watching what the blitzing linebackers do.

And I keep hearing that the pass rush can be fixed with sliders, but why on earth is a blitzing linebacker going after the HB anyway especially when he's 7 yards away from him and only 3 yards from the QB? If that can be fixed with a slider, I'd be surprised.

Anyway, it's things like this I hope they are aware of. For now, I'm heading back to NCAA 10. Hearing how bad the NCAA demo was, I'm still holding out hope for the retail Madden.

Yezzir! Most times if the demo is not a cut of the actually game its from another build of the game...graphics and gameplay have been different in many games i've played...not just football.

pretty much what in c in the demo is how the game will play its just not enough time to fix it they will say they will fix it madden 11 trust me

Is anyone else dissapointed with the graphics in this years football games? The textures in some cases just look washed out and odd, not at all what the graphics looked like in the HD gameplay video on youtube and other websites. Is this just me or...? My other games in HD look incredible but these football games just look raggedy.

You don't need to call anyone a fool or a liar on the net.

You don't know me and I don't know you.

Just leave it as that.

Thanks.
