I can't believe so many people are throwing tantrums about the strategy thing, which takes 2 minutes to learn, and nobody is talking about the horrific pass blocking. Before I can even read the defense I'm getting destroyed. I look at the replay and 2 or 3 linemen are getting beat clean. It looks like my tackles are wearing grease because DEs are just sliding off them. I changed the CPU pass rushing to 15 and the 1st play of the game I got sacked and fumbled. Looked at the replay and the NT was on the outside shoulder of Mangold and a LB was showing blitz on the outside shoulder of Moore (RG). Common football sense would have Mangold take the NT and Moore take the LB. Instead Mangold took nobody, Moore took the NT and the LB took the ball.

This year I finally can say I see an enjoyable game that, while not close to perfect by any means is the nearest thing to 'sim football' this gen. Little things like the running animations, the lighting, the footwork and acceleration that kept 2k ahead of Madden have finnaly been done well by EA. I played the demo this morning and saw a lot of what I loved about 2k in this game, which is a great compliment to this years edition. I fully expect the retail version to be the best football game this gen.

I agree 100%!

Gameflow is the same as "ask madden" except you get the audio and text.

And you can set up you own gameplan that gameflow then uses.

No, not really.

It plays to each team's tendencies, it has a better sense of the playcalling situation (3rd and long - pass/draw, 3rd and short - run, etc), you don't have to go into the playbook, from what I've noticed it doesn't tell you to run a fake punt run on every 4th down, and it's just all around better than Ask Madden.

Demo up for PS3

Just played the demo and gave up on around the end of the 3rd quarter. The game has definitely improved but there was still a few minor errors.

1) I just barely made a 54 yd field goal and Collinsworth and Johnson are talking like i just missed it. It was one of those kicks where it morphed into the post lol

2) It was 2nd n 5 and Addai got a 4 yd run so it was 3rd n inches but Johnson was talking like it was 4th down and we had stopped him.

3) Also when gameflow was activated, i never heard the commentators voice for some reason, idk if it was messing up but after i clicked on gameflow each time the whole stadium got quiet until either I hiked the ball or they hiked the ball so it was a weird moment of silence.

After that like i said, just got bored of it but the kicking meter i do like and the gameplan should be good to use, but i don't think its worth a purchase as of right now but when football season comes around i might need my football fix n IDK if NCAA can do that.
