I need you to tutor me cuz I never usually run kicks back!

With NCAA I felt like I needed to go down a difficulty level from AA to Varsity...but the more I play this demo the more I think I may need to go to All-Madden...odd

Well, it does seem as though the blocking is a lot better, I am stillseing a little bit of suction blocking. It's not nearly as bad as prior, but I still saw some of it. I also saw a blocked field goal! In 20 years of playing football games, I can count the number of blocked field goals I've seen on one hand. I hope it wasn't an abberation and I'll actually see more of it in the full game.

Also, I am crazy, or can you not view stats in the demo?

Note to EA: Aaron Rodgers is not Michael Vick when it comes to running...WTF??

I've played 6-7 games on the PS3 so far. I must say I actually like the demo. It's not perfect but it actually plays a good game. I went 3-3 on all pro and 0-1 on all-madden. I didn't notice the super lb or psychic dbs, I didn't feel cheated at any point.

A few concerns tho, (forgive me if they have been mentioned) all-pro running game does seem a little too easy. I ran hb slam out of gb's full house formation and went over 150 yrds wtih Grant, added another +40 yrd run with Starks and Jackson both. The cpu could not stop it.

I had a extra point blocked which I thought was pretty cool cause I have never seen that in Madden, but the guy who blocked it came in off the edge, that's almost impossible on an xp. I hope it's not over done as EA tends to do.

3rd and 4-6 yards was almost always the same play by the cpu. Passing play but the qb would scramble up the middle. Became very predictable. Chicago tried it on 3 straight 3rd down attempts in one of the games.

Overall the game has its problems but it's fun to play. I haven't been able to say that about any other nexgen madden. Now I just pray a tuner set doesn't change my mind.

Anyone else notice how much better the 360 version looks compared to the PS3 version?
