Hope this is informative, just discussing some issues/much discussed topics with the game. I'm not trying to say I'm for or against this game, and I'm certainly not trying to sway people one way or another. That being said I hope you all enjoy!

The qb is fast in demo because the game speed is to high. Very slow solves all.

It's a 2 month pre alpha demo. No need for 15 demo review.

And from what I've seen in the demo, the AI seems be incapable of getting called for an interference penalty

You must be new to madden. All my life there are barely ever if that pass into on either side.

So i downloaded it last night, played one game as Packers on All Pro, 25 speed threshold was only thing I changed. I've got to say, outside of the little nuances and bugs that is expected with a demo, I was blown away. The graphics on my Sony Bravia had me in complete awe. I was going to instant replay every other play just to look at the graphics. This is the most gorgeous sports game I have ever seen. The little scuffs on the helmets, dirt getting on their arms, the grass stains, the 3d grass, the crowd, the colors, the reflections, the stadiums....oh and the crowd noise is fantastic. I cannot WAIT to get this game. I loved the gameplay as well, and I came back from being down 17-7 with 2:30 left in the game, and scored 2 tds to win 21-17. It was an intense, fun, realistic game. I am going tomorrow to pre-order this game. Thank you, EA.

So the camera angle (especially on running plays) is futher back than NCAA? Im worried it will be too far back because NCAA had it perfect.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that about ncaa and madden.

Something is off with the helmets or body proportion. It's more pronounced with Devin Hester who looks like a bobblehead doll. It looked really comical on a close up replay. His helmet is oversized and/or his shoulders too narrow and arms too short. I'll take a screen cap next time I play.

The broadcast view cam in between some plays is awkward.

The players' faces look more true to life. Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers et al. are immediately recognizable.

The graphics are gorgeous.

Gameplay still seems solid.

I didn't notice the signature throwing motions in the demo but I hope it's still in the retail version.

I have only played a handful of games so far, but I love the little details, such as the grass building up on helmets and the pylons getting knocked around when diving into the endzone. I also love the ability to set sliders so we can get a better feel for the game this year.

Game is better than madden 11, but where is the pass interference calls at?? I havent seen one and i have controlled the cornerback and ran into the reciever. Please fix this before retail version, because this has been going on since next-gen madden started.
