How does the new kicking meter work? Is it just the right analog stick like it used to be?

Funny. I feel the exact opposite. Love player proportions. NCAA QBs and DEs especially were ridiculously proportioned. Most QBs looked like 250 lb middle linebackers.

I was reading a description of the demo on Madden's website last night, the description mentioned something about completing a hot route and it will be worth your while. I did this and noticed nothing different. Does anyone else know what i'm referring to and what changed?

Yeah I would agree with you, I find Madden to better than NCAA in that regard.

You have to score on an audible in order to get a code on screen to enter to win a free cheap car.

I did it but did not care about it

Sorry but this demo alone is light years ahead of NCAA retail. Graphics, lighting and gameplay as usual.

Ugh two games in and I've lost both. Had a 10-0 lead going into the 4th playing as the Bears, but Rodgers led a comeback and threw the game winning TD with 42 seconds left. I returned the kick to midfield and moved the ball, hit Hester in the endzone twice but he couldn't get his feet down

Hopefully third time's the charm.

Little gripe, but it looks like the shadows are very jagged on the player's faces.

[quote=radatdude2;2042705271]I don't know if its because i been really waiting for this demo or im not found of the teams, but i gotta say as much as i want to love this game im a little disappointed. I know its only a demo and the game is weird with no commentary, but the game doesn't play as well as NCAA and the player models only look good when close up. Right now all the players look very similar in size in the standard camera view, which isn't the case in NCAA. Im going to get some rest and put fresh eyes to this later.


I have to agree, there is something that's just not doing it for me. I cant say that he demo is bad because it's not. I just don't know.
