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

Downloaded the Demo and so far I'm somewhat disappointed.

There are far to many game changing plays. It's like EA thinks they need to shove 6 games worth of game changing plays into 15 minutes.

Looks like it's going to be another year of struggling with sliders to get something close to realistic.

I'm still looking forward to the franchise additions.

Ball physics are great, end of half cutler through it up fifty yards it bounced off the receivers hands then bounced off my defenders back a couple times then the receiver caught it. I watched replay and every little touch was respected, wasnt random at all.

only joy was not hearing Chris Cockinmouth calling the game. Other than that still a broken football game.

This is my biggest complaint. If I'm on offense I'm sure as hell gonna quick snap so guys can't setup any nano blitzes against me because I know that they won't let me setup my defense either unless they are one of those lame players that milk every last second off the clock all game long.

Same thing happened to me. Which means it happens far to often in the game. I mean, how many times do you really see that on Sunday. Really, what you described is exactly what happened in my first game.

The demo was decent, a major concern is sacks from the RE/ROLB will they be able to get to the QB. I did sack the Green Bay qb while controlling J.Peppers. I then switched the controller to cpu vs cpu and watched the game played smooth some tweaks are needed but it coming along tho!!!

I didn't take the time to read all the pages, but I wanted to bring this up if it hasn't been mentioned.

During the 4th quart at about 1:30 left in the game, Olsen goes out with an injury. Both teams had 3 timeouts before the play and guess what?! Both teams still had their 3 timeouts after the play.

I believe NFL rules state that an injury in the last two minutes of a half will use up a timeout if you have any left.

Can someone confirm this?
