Maybe because I'm use to playing madden but, IMO the game speed is to fast. I'll definitley be turning the speed down. Other than that I'm really liking the game. So far so good. Can't wait to see what the pro game looks like after this.

Good job so far EA!!!

Hm, really? I was thinking they looked a lot different. Unless I don't know what you mean by "fixed." They look way better than last year, imo.

yea think the throwing motions actually look good for once. They have some nice deliveries in the game. I like how they actually look like theyre throwing a bomb and that the cpu waits for their WRs to get down field before throwing a hail mary.

I think the game is in good shape so far

Positives
1. great intro to the game, it really make u feel like ur going out to play in a real game
2. The Offensive line run blocking schemes are on point
3. I like the sideline interaction that goes on with players while either offense/defense is on the field
4.The replay camera angles
5. The equipment on players.(FS from Miami had on the 2 tone sleeves green and orange...sick)

Even tho this is a demo.. and im sure that EA is still working stuff out with the game these are just some possibilities that could be add..

What could be improved
1.I would like to see blind side hit from the WRs when a ball is cut back or even on punt returns
2. have some player celebration in the end-zone to show the emotions of a big play such as (hip-bump/chest bump or even have the sideline congratulate the person who scored when he comes off the field. (even-tho they are cracking down on the celebration)
3. Have the D-end at times take out the legs of a pulling guard/tackle/or FB to disrupt play and make it bounce to the outside.
4. The defense should have a break down in coverage at times such as when the crowed is to loud and u try to switch the coverage when u notice the offense formations

The game is WAY WAY WAY too fast. It feels like a video game, and looks like one. It doesnt look like real football.

Just downloaded the demo. I had exhausted my three free one-month trial gold memberships but they're running a special, $1 gold membership for one month, that I took advantage of (just have to remember to cancel it before the card is billed for the next month).

Anyway, my 2 cents: I like it.

Major, major upgrade graphically. This is just what I had been hoping for after seeing the initial screens. Just looks freaking stunning. I never thought they could upgrade this much. I figured they had maxed out the 360's graphical capabilities with NCAA 09, the last game I purchased. I'm going to pop in 09 here in a little bit just for comparison's sake. I really like Madden 10's graphics. But these are even better. The players have a 3-D look to them.

Only played 1 1/2 games: Beat Missouri 14-0 in the rain. Losing to Texas 10-0 at halftime. It looks like I'm actually watching the Red River Shootout on TV. Cotton Bowl looks fabulous.

Gameplay-wise, it's been tight (that's good), meaning I haven't had any WTF? moments yet. It's a little fast for my tastes, but I believe there's a game speed slider in the retail version (even if there's not, I can live with it).

My only initial complaint, like many have stated, is the cumbersome play-calling screens. It makes it a little harder in college because you don't have as much time on the play clock as you do in the NFL. But I think it's just a matter of getting acclimated with the screens, so I'm not really worried about it.

I can't imagine any major bug in the retail version that would spoil this game (except maybe something like the exclusion of CPU sliders -- brilliant move, Madden 09 folks!).

One question for someone who didn't buy NCAA 10: Were coaches in there? I noticed no coaches in the demo, but I'm hoping they're in the final build. I liked seeing them in last gen (even though you had to name them yourself). I can't remember if they were in 09, but I don't think so).

you do realize that it IS a video game. anyway, my only a gripe seems to be the run game is too good. blockers block who they're supposed to block, but once that happens it seems like the defenders can never shed thier blocks. hope thats adressed.
