A lot of the other tackles attempt on a player I simply see my players simply "slip off" from the player as if they were "buttered up" or something.

One big thing I like about the demo is this; it seems like you can actually catch LB's who make INT's and run them down to make the tackle. In past Maddens, a LB would pick off the ball, and even those with average speed would turn into Carl Lewis, blow by everyone and score a TD. It seems more realistic this year. I threw a pick to Farrior who started running down the field, but I was able to run him down with Boldin, which is how it should be.

Does anyone else think of Pirates of the Caribbean every time the demo orchestral song plays on the demo?

I'm not saying this to be mean, but I think that Apex dude has OCD and has locked in on Madden right now. I hope someone can help him break his pattern and pull him away from all things Madden.

Besides that, there really is only one bottom line: will you enjoy the game or not. Every game can have nitpicking, heck every real NFL game has plenty of mistakes. If the game is as good as or better than the demo I know I will enjoy. Last year I didn't enjoy it so I sold it on Ebay and moved on with my life.

Commenting on the video a few posts above. Casey Hampton is off balance and falling down and I have no issue with Beanie breaking that tackle. Completely realistic. Take just about any running play in an real NFL game and slow it down and watch the guys who miss, why they miss and I think you would see somthing very similar.

What I do have a problem with is the fullback, sliding through the defender and joining the scrum as a blocker, That was weak and the video slow down version was very helpful to see that in slow motion happening.

i agree with you man.You dont leave your feet to tackle. that is the cardinal rule. that is why the arm tackle by Hampton failed. as far as the rest of the run, Wells still had his momentum going forward.

as far as the morphing, i have not seen it or it has been really minimal. it still is a video game and this stuff will be present.

Gideon can make some good points , but at times he is really stretching it to point out nonsense. that demo is an early build. i have not seen this in the dall/ giants demo

Spongedaddy;

I hear what you are saying.

I just discovered something about this impression thread.

The people who are enjoying the demo are playing it and not posting much in here. The people who find a few flaws in one game are either posting videos of such or listing over and over their list of complaints.

I'm not saying everyone that is listing complaints is doing this, just a pattern I noticed with some.

Back to the demo.
