lol. Looks like a psychopath. I like the ball being true to size in the game. I went into replay and when I passed the ball I paused it and zoomed in on the ball to see all the details it had.

Just had my first 'glitch', Davis was running the sideline and I went to tackle him but my player seemed to go right through him. Again this is the 1st time I've seen this glitch, or any glitch. I went back to replay and it showed that I actually outran Davis and pressed tackle, but Collins was sucked and warped awkwardly and he missed completely. Could be glitch, or could be that Collins has poor awareness or tackle or something. I was wondering if anyone else has seen something similar.

Other observations:
-I love that bobbled passes can be caught by the WRs fluidly now. I realize virtually all Maddens have this but one play stood out: Jennings caught the ball. He got hit right away and bobbled it and caught it as he was coming down. That was very nice to see. Also, players for the most part seem to be going for the ball.
-Minor glitch: players go through refs sometimes. I'm sure this one was pointed out many times.
-All of the INTs the CPU had felt natural and I felt like they happened due to my poor pass placement.
-I've only had maybe two or three dropped INTs. I'm talking about the times when the ball goes right in the CBs hands and he just drops it. Glad to see this was reduced somewhat. Of course, CBs are not WRs for a reason, they don't catch well.

I got your beast mode here buddy. Don't hate! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1De48tvrdk

You need to play around with sliders and speed. You can't expect the game to run perfectly out the box.

Also this is a small detail and maybe someone can shed some light on this but in real life I have seen Soldier Field with the grass the way it is now in the game (with the vertical lines) and I have seen it with no vertical lines. Which way do they normally have the grass in real life?

Ok so I decided to play the demo another time to give a chance.
And I thought it was alot better the 4th time I tried it, my only gripe is this and EA needs to know about this.

I went goaline formation Qb sneak for two full drives and scored twice on All-Madden, Cutler right up the middle 6 yrds,5yards, 11 yards etc...
Please fix this before the retail game.

Madden 11 sucked so bad 12 had to be better by default. I can actually tolerate this game. From my initial game...

Pros:
- crowd was live; great atmosphere
- graphics
- player movement
- not Madden 11

Cons:
- Jay Cutler was throwing deep crossing routes like an a'hole
- phantom tackle/fumble (see video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HFILm02AQU)

Pretty fun. Have not purchased Madden since 06. But I am going to buy this.
