One other stupid thing is, if you take a QB knee with Rodgers the crowd cheer, and if you do it with the bears they go silent NOT realstic at all there, I guess its programmed to cheer if you lose yards at the home ground

just played my first game. i was packers. i played on all pro. left everything default.

i won the game 10-7 in overtime. i kicked a 49 yard field goal with mason crosby to win it.

i threw 2 picks with a rod, but i loved the passing aspect. it felt alot more true. i see alot of others saying they dont like the normal speed setting. but it felt very good to me. i will try slow next.

i picked off cutler 3 times. and sacked him 5 times.

i didnt have alot of the play action problems others said they have. i also didnt have any morphing.

wish i knew how to surprise onside kick.

i saw the most beautiful pass and catch animation ever

a few things i am curious about for the final build.

is the sliding fixed? there are waay to many big hits on what seem to be simple wrap up tackles.
how bout punt return blocking? play action blocking, i didnt have any issues. but im sure they are there.

i also didnt really see any difference in relation to dpp ...but maybe next game

I don't wanna offend anybody, but while I do see people commenting on here about noticeable things are wrong in the game, I also see a ton of nitpicking. I played the demo two times today, and I loved it. It was smooth, I didn't find a lot of flaws. Through my eyes, it's a great football game. I'm no madden fanboy, I hated last years game, and I want 2k football to come back too, I like that game, and I hate EA. But 2k5 came out long ago, guys. Move on. It came out in 2004. It's 2011 now. While I hate the idea of Madden being the single football game available, It's what we've got, and we've got learn to live with it. Again, I don't wanna be rude, but people are just nitpicking the hell out of Madden 12! It's a good football game! Learn to live with it guys, until 2k comes back. And when it does, I'm kissing madden goodbye.

My only big complaints are replay lengths and not enough stat overlays at times. While probably because of it being a demo, the replays will hopefully be longer after quarters, and especially at half.

Stat overlays aren't a deal breaker, but it would be nice to see more pop up during gameplay.

So far after 8 games I can tell I'm really going to enjoy madden this year. Visually looks amazing, plays smooth, I'm on very slow with 0 threshold. A small thing I'd like to see in retail version tho is the degrading of field unis and helmets ramped up alittle. Don't get me wrong I'm soo happy it finally made it in, but maybe helmet markings are color of opponets helmet, stains on uniforms alittle more noticable, chalk on dark uniforms etc, who knows maybe this stuff is in final build, jus more polished up I guess you could say, maybe weather effects it who knows, but again its a small thing and don't matter much, game is going to be great! 3 weeks, hurry up!

Tried the demo just now. Glad you young folks like it, but this old man is pretty burned out on the EA football formula. Skipped last years and this year I know for a fact I am done with the series.

Not that the demo is bad, cause it aint bad at all, I just need something brand new, and from a NEW company with new and fresh ideas. The Series is extremely stale for me.

So on that note, See ya guys later.

As someone else mentioned the player models still have this child like look to them. It looks like middle school kids in nfl jerseys.

This has been an annoyance for years now, and I don't know if the players just are not lanky enough or if the ball is just too big or a combination of both.

Well from one old man to another,i agree with u on the kinda same ole MADDEN but at this point, in the game. And EA having the rights for a few more years and football being the only game i play.I'm gonna take what i can get.and from what I'm seeing this year aint that bad
