How do i download the demo?..everytime I click download it says its for xbox gold members only. Do I have to pay an upgrade to gold in order to just play the demo? Thought it would have been free like other demos I've gotten. Please help..

Played all the match ups in the demo. I will try to give some objective opinions.

Negatives
-I have seen on a few occasions the receiver warp to catch the ball. It doesn't happen every time, but did a few.

- I have also seen some bad blocking logic on the tosses and sweeps.

These are the only negatives that I have noticed or bothered me so far.

Positives:
- Locomotion is a game changer. Player movement hasn't felt this right since last gen.

-Looks like there are a lot of new animations. I have seen some brutal tackles.

-Blocking is much better overall. Best its been in Next-Gen.

-No more zig-zag running.

Overall I think its pretty awesome. IMO its the next gen football game we have been waiting for.

Just played the demo for the first time, and I had a blast with it. Pretty fun game, sucks there's a month until it releases though.

I did incur one strange glitch, I haven't read through the whole thread so I don't know if anyone has noticed it. I was running the option and I pitched the ball to my RB, and it fell to the ground but was ruled an incomplete pass. From the naked eye it looked like it was pitched backwards, although with no replay I couldn't be 100% sure. Was wondering if anyone else had noticed this?

yes, there is an option for it in the game control option on the pause menu. it is off by default.

So, I'll just say your completely right, EA is not known to have glitches in there final build, they never let us down there By the way, I'm sure the majority wouldnt touch that beer until it was ice cold.

Of course EA is known to have glitches.

Football gamers are ALSO known to leap head 1st off of tall buildings, usually resulting in catastrophic bodily harm.

Point of the beer analogy is that its a sample you can have over and over and over. It may not be perfect (or ice-cold) but it is free.

Point is, guys who are having fits over a demo (not you, the guy you qouted) need to sip some of the beer I spoke of earlier and just relax. I understand the problems with EA's football titles...really I do. I just can't understand why anyone would get SO upset over a demo. I'll wait and get my scrip for prozac AFTER the game comes out....all I'm saying. Take it for what it is and wait to go bear punching when the retail version drops.
