This is weird.....Demo should be available to xbox silver members today. I tried to download it
but it says exclusive for gold members only. Even though it does'nt have the little red circle with the line through it...weird.

Both sides of the ball? Not sure if your playing on hard or what teams your using but the CPU AI defense is fine and actually pretty good. CPU AI offense is the problem.

Anybody else having this problem?

I'm pretty impressed with the demo. There are going to be issues with this game. It's their first attempt but what they are accomplishing with player interaction is highly impressive.

It's not perfect by any means, but compare this demo alone to any football game ever released and the BB team come out doing some things much better.

If you like to play online, you won't care. Also the AI is not "terrible" on both sides. I think human vs human is going to be awesome. The computer AI is pretty bad so far when it comes to QBs, but the defense is not terrible.

That being said..how do we know that it is not like Tecmo Bowl where the AI sucks for a while but gets tougher and tougher the deeper the season gets?

Dude you just read my mind! That is exactly what I was thinking, the CPU may ramp up as the season goes on or it my get better as you get better.

why is it that the game plays alot smoother and faster on arcade mode. everything is alot better from the the Qb drops back, the tackling, just everything about the game beautiful in arcade mode. not to say that the other modes are not nice, but arcade is off the hook, and its not over the top stuff happening it actually gives you a better feel of the sport, check it and hit back. yes sir
