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

I've also noticed and if you're keeping notes for bug fixes and changes...

Example:
Matt Forte impacts Defensive backs Collins & Burnett splitting the defenders but instead of doing that, he stops dead in his tracks and falls back with a tackle. That has to be fixed and it's plagued Madden for years. If two defenders are coming from each side about to sandwich me, I expect him to break the tackles or have one guy tackle his legs. He stops, hugs the ball and expects a tackle to happen.

I haven't downloaded the demo yet (silver user) but this has been one of many things that has bothered me with Madden. Even when you look at the Eagles vs Falcons gameplay video (Madden 12), Vick runs backwards with his eyes down the field ready to throw and still looks like he is running like 100m champ. Same with some cornerback play in that vid. Corners run backwards and then do 180 deg turn in like 0.1 s.

Explain to me how this gets by QA? 2. The game feels more arcadish than previous years. 3. I kicked a FG and it was good, but I didn't get 3 points, I got no points. 4. I threw a long pass to Jennings on a streak route, and he didn't even turn around to look for the ball. Not only that but the ball MORPH'd through his back and into his hands. Thats enough for me to decide on my purchase. I understand Franchise mode got an overhaul this year, but if the gameplay and animations are bad then it kinda makes it pointless.

yeah right I don't believe that I played the demo about t20 times haven't seen snubbing that ridiculous. I think you guys over exaggerate somethings.

For people with both system demos is there a big difference in graphics like NCAA has?

I have not gotten Madden in a few years but after playing the demo I think that might change. Presentation is the biggest thing for me for a sports game and in this game the graphics and presentation is awesome.

Does the demo not give you the option of hot routing receivers or changing their blocking assignments ?

Has anyone else noticed this?

My decision to purchase this game will be based on the retail .
