Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[mva5580]

- Graphics look great
- The new camera angles are excellent, especially the FG/XP angles to properly represent TV. EA, take note: A subtle change that is a huge positive addition to the game. There are A LOT more opportunities for these
- So the demo press release noted that Olsen was off the Bears, Williams was on, and that you should complete a Hot Route pass and that "it will make sense later." 1) The roster changes weren't there, and 2) I completed a hot route pass, and nothing happened.
- The main thing I didn't like about the game was how far away the camera view is after the ball is hiked. I'm hoping there is a way to have a camera view closer to NCAA Football's in the final version.

Overall, I had a very positive first impression. Looking forward to the 30th.

Rodgers is way too fast haha, he went all Denard Robinson on me one play.

I will say, if the QBs' speed ratings, or at least acceleration, aren't adjusted, then I refuse to play any team online with a fast QB.

Only played a half.

Feels a lot like NCAA, except it seems like the lighting isn't quite as good. Not sure why.

Game seems more..."sterile" than NCAA. Don't know how else to explain it.

Didn't notice anything glaringly good or bad. Just wonder if it will be fun enough to want to play for months.

I enjoy it a lot. . . that being said the game isn't without it's problems. . .

#1 The game speed is far too fast. . . easily corrected with a game speed SLOW and threshold to 35 change.

#2 Too many big hits. I grow tired of seeing big hits that have little to no momentum behind them.

#3 Dropped picks, enough said. . .

#4 Jay Cutler seems insanely fast, switching game speed to slow helps some but still running with the QB is much to easy. With it in default settings Peyton could easily scramble for 10 yards.

#5 Cutlers arm didn't really feel "strong"

#6 Still no inside/outside shade with man to man coverage.

#7 Not enough of a pass rush, especially when playing defense.

#8 Too difficult to recognize certain defensive players (due to camera angle/lighting and position of players)

#9 Feels much to easy to run the ball. Both demo backs fall forward almost every down (nice touch but overdone).

One of my favorite things about this game is the kick meter. It rocks!

So I've noticed that the D-Line pressures the QB better. I had 4 sacks on Aaron Rodgers through 3 quarters. I think the Packers sacked me twice.

Also, I broke a tackle with Forte, turned the corner and broke off an 80 yard TD run. The home crowd ERUPTED.

Are you kidding me Cutler's arm feels like a cannon as it should, I'v squeezed some nice balls inbetween defenders.. Only to be dropped because of how bad my Bears WR crew is. On All-Madden I won 10-7 felt real nice, the 3-4 actually worked like its supose to!

One quick note guys on kickoffs. If you tap the B button twice really quick you can do a fake kickoff and pull off an onside kick.

It was kind of fun to see

I didn't say anything about speed in the post of mine you quoted, bro.
