Disagree. It made me feel like I was playing a Wii game. The game overall feels a lot better as far as tighter control but overall it isn't that different.

Glad to see they finally put in stadium chants, but I seriously thought that it was a back of the box (non)feature in 08 or 09. <--- Am I wrong here?

I would say this is a used only purchase for anyone that HAS TO HAVE NFL football this year. Otherwise, wait for next season.

This is a rent first in every sense of the word(s).

Well fellas after playing a few more games I can safely say, now, that EA is moving in the wrong direction once again. I truely thought they were goinng to take Madden 10 and build from that but they aren't building, they are going backwards.

To change a scheme that has worked for a long time (strategy pad) is just mind boggling. And then on top of that to say "it's for the nano blitzers" is just downright ridiculous.

Why can't they just fix the nano blitzing instead of being lazy and taking the band-aid route? This along with the tackling, the animations, the morphing, the audio team with the commentary, plus some other annoyances is just dissapointing.

If they are taking a year or years off from working on franchise then we expect the gameplay to be MUCH improved. But sadly, it isn't. There's just too many things wrong with the basic engine that it needs to be completely ripped up, thrown out and then re-done.

EA it's time to hire some contractors that not only know game design, but know football.

I think I was clear that I find it difficult to rememorize buttons.

I mentioned some old feautures about redesigning plays, but that really has nothing to do with why I dislike of the presnap pad. My PS2 reference about being able to take one formation and switch to another while keeping the same routes has been gone for awhile now. I liked it because certain routes can only be found in one formation of a playbook.

I think this game is like an addiction for some people. It's bad but people keep talking about it. They even keep saying the same things over and over. Just a bit of advice, but I just wouldn't play this game anymore. I think I'm done... EA basically releases the same stuff every year. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I honestly think EA caters to a certain crowd who buys their games, and thinks we are all stupid. There is absolutely no creativity in this game. The thing is NCAA is the same engine but it's sort of fun. Unfortunately even that game has serious issues. It's basically the same game sped up to make it more fun. It's the same game. Unfortunately it has serious framerate issues. I bought it. It was a waste. I can't do this anymore. That game was rushed and I would be a fool to then go out and get Madden. That's what they want. They do this every year. At least the framerates are solid in this game. But it's so stale it's ridiculous. Where have the creative juices gone? EA is basically a machine and it's like they just took last years game, put a better coating on it, and added a bunch of features that noone wanted that are completely useless. IT's not an issue with getting used to the strategy pad or kick meter. It's just who cares? EA are a bunch of drama queens who get attention from people when they repeatedly don't do what people want.

All i have to say is i hate the kicking system took me back bout 5yrs.

Overall game is good. still think players with high accl rate should be noticeable diff in speed not seeing any burst.

My colts are amazing.

I don't think it is. I tried searching this thread for answers, but how can you find anything when the thread is 40 pages and you are searching for "PS3" and "Demo".

Can the thread title be changed to let us know when it is available for the PS3?
