yes. Its disabled in the demo, but in the retail version you'll be able to activate it by turning off auto-sprint.

Just out of curiosity and trying to predict sales I checked the M10 demo impressions thread and after 2 days it had 1650+ posts and a thread rating of 4.25. This year 950 posts and a thread rating of 3.25. Doesn't look promising.
I think the O-Line AI is still really bad and for me kills what could be a decent game. Centers seem particular bad this year. Just snap it and get beaten immediately by any DT alot of the time.

Where did you get this information? EA hasnt said anything like that. They even said that they want to show the "new" audio presentation.

I see what you are saying. Others have said the same thing about 8. 9. 10, etc..., but OS is a small sample size.

It's not really indicative of the general gaming public. Sounds like you are rooting for it to do bad. I don't see why anyone(except people with a chip on their shoulder about the liscense still) would hope for sales to go lower from year to year. The more money they make the more they can spend on resources the following year.

For those concerned about the commentary, here's what Ian said today on twitter: RT @ian_cummings: @Shopmaster yep, it is. Commentary is not representative of final product at all...nearly 5 weeks outdated + trimmed for file size.

Not necessarily. In the past, increased revenue for Madden has led to increased apathy. Maybe this franchise needs a kick in the butt to really go back to basics of the sport, kind of like the FIFA franchise. It didn't make monumental changes until PES was killing it.

Talking about companies in general.

It's subjective if you feel that EA doesn't toss in revenues from the previous year.
