I think the INT's being a little high is also because of what CreatineKasey pointed out earlier in thread. Defensive players seem like they try to pick the ball off almost every time instead of knocking it down. Hopefully that can be tweaked somehow or was tweaked for the final version.

Having a lot of fun with the demo. I can't find anything to complain about except the quarter length. C'mon son. All kidding aside this game is showing great promise and I can't wait till June 1.

Still I think BB needs to cater more to madden gamers if they want to steal us. We are dying to switch, just give us reasons too.
Like-
-More camera options-Im sorry I never liked close up even in madden
-Pre snap adjustments-We want control
-Full controller configuration-What makes madden so great is the button layout
-Jump/swat/strafe/catch button for offense and defense.-the beauty of madden is doing any move you want at anytime.
This alone would make the transition much easier and a more well rounded game for everyone. I want this game to succeed I dont think these adjustments would kill the feel and look BB is going for.

It seems like guys are only programmed to either hit the guy catching the ball or go for an INT, never knock it down. Catching is pretty high, but I've seen defenders and offensive WR's drop passes so it's not automatic. Still... we should be seeing some swats IMO.

Honestly, if someone sees a genuine swat from a DB instead of going for an INT please let us know!

It seems like all football videogames need defensive players with hands of stone to not have too many ints.Hopefully there are at least catch ratings that can be tweaked down some or qb accuracy hiked up.

They have made it pretty clear on numerous occasions that they aren't trying to cater to Madden players. They want this to a completely new and different experience for gamers. The camera and control scheme are the clear two areas they are looking to do that.

There is actually a alternate controller configuration that is closer to what you would see in Madden as well at least for passing.

I just don't understand people dismissing the control scheme and camera before they even have a chance to get used them. Reminds me of how I used to be food, unwilling to try anything new. When started to try some new things, I actually liked them.

I've seen many swats...DBs jumping up and knocking the ball down(or trying to, anyway)

I actually went to buttons and have since changed back to the stick. I'll probably do that more until I settle, but I'm guessing I'll end up going stick.

btw...haven't seen this mentioned - slowdown, choppiness and load times are virtually non-existent.
