Has anyone gotten a tip giving you a code to possibly win a Chevy Cruze? I just broke a 50 yard run for a TD and it popped up.

I guess Cutler is superhuman... He broke Mathews tackle, than outran Shields and Woodson for a 75 yard TD. Wtf. I must suck! Haha

really enjoyed the demo.... downloaded it for the 360.

was very surprised on the presentation part of the game it blew ncaa out of the water kind of brought me to the last nfl2k that was released.

i wasn't that hyped but now i extremely am for this game, it probably has to do with those previous people that did madden for the past couple of years are let go if i am not mistaken now this is from a new group?

just gotta figure out which system to buy this for now ps3 or xbox360

This answer the question? I assume you mean the lines in the middle.

Anyone think the game speed is too fast. I know you can adjust it, but online games are set to default. I played a little '11, and a ton of 10. Was '11 this fast or did they speed it up a little. Otherwise the game looks great.

What I liked:
Way DBs played in Zone coverage, seemed to react naturally not jumping too many routes and fly to the receiver to make tackles(noticed this well on crossing routes in MLB zones).
Ball got tipped at the line and corner actually was able to run underneath it for an INT.
How routes were ran
HUM Pass Blocking seemed decent on PA.
Amazing Presentation/Atmosphere
How Aaron Rodgers stomped his foot and occasionally pointed to various defenders

What I didn't Like:
HUM Pass Rush was insane with Clay Matthews, but that is either accurate or will be fixed.
Couldn't run the ball, defenders came off blocks so quickly.

Is there a toggle for commentary? I have none.

Well, I should have left the difficulty on Pro. Played one game (my only game so far) on All-Pro and the Packers killed me 31-0. I couldn't do anything on offense. I held my own on D but the turnovers did me in.

I really like all of the stat overlays. The pre-game stuff is a lot better than last year. The replays look good and I like the stadium flyovers. It's nice to see the presentation get an upgrade.

As for gameplay, I'm a little concerned about the frequency of QB scrambles. The tackling is better, as is the blocking. It's good to see you can actually play effective defense again, as it was MIA in Madden 11. Nothing blew me away, but I did see a lot of good things.

I still wish we had a Player-Lock camera for defense; I really like using it in NCAA as it adds a lot to playing on that side of the ball.
