Yeah I got it once. The ball went right under AJ Hawk's legs and Robbie Gould dove on top of it.

It feels much tighter, looks amazing and I can already see myself putting in hundreds of hours in franchise mode for a few years. If the enhanced franchise mode features and DPP come through this game will be a classic. I have always loved Madden and been a Madden guy. This game will not convert you if you have been down on Madden. I feel the game will blow away 10 and 11.

How do you KNOW its an early build? I have tried on Twitter several times and not one person will confirm this is a PRE E3 build.

so far i like how the game plays

HOWEVER 2 THINGS
1. idk if its just me but i seems ea has turned down the speed, players dont seem as fast as they have in past years
2. switching between formations seems a lil laggy

The LB's swatting passes meant to be about 10 to 15 yards down the field away from them to me has always been the most annoying problem... Followed by o-line shedding blocks to quickly and ofcourse the infamous psychic DB's. I'm more concerned with the offense as you control most of the action then on the defensive side... Which my only quarrel has been user dropped interceptions. What bothers you guys the most in past maddens and now in this demo?

I'm personally liking everything about it, sucks it has no commentary... But on Xbox 360, the controls are spot on and not delayed. It's a smooth feeling when running and when you get some good blocks, getting in the opening is great. I intercepted the ball and ran it back 20 yards before getting laid out. Last minute the CPU was doing hurry up offense plays to try to score again.

And trust me they did, then tried an onside kick, I laid the hit on him and he fumbled it, and I won the game.

Love the cutscenes to the sidelines with players not wearing helmets and their faces are on point.

Got a really large hit on my QB during a sack, and the guy gets up and celebrates with this big grin on his face. The facial details are remarkable.

I am playing this on a 46" Samsung D7000 LED and it looks fantastic. even tried to simulate a 2D-3D...and it was cool too.....

Love this game it's great so far, just from the demo.

ok after another go at madden 12 im loving what i see, the all madden level is officailly back (but ill wait til im with my team and playbooks of my choice before i make the final word), if really feels like your watching a game on sunday (causing you to not skip the cut seens and appreciate the graphic)

Playing on Very Slow seems like Normal to me. Why did they speed it up? Isn't that the point of being able to adjust the speed? Could they patch this or is it a foregone conclusion?

Yea All-Madden is going to be beast mode this year. I might not have to crank my sliders up full blast just to get some competition from the CPU this year. I been having a rough time so far with the Demo. Haha! But I don't have my playbook and team so I'll see how it is at that time. Damn I can't wait until the game drops.. I hate the sliders are broken on the demo. I couldn't tweak nothing because it automatically drops the level down to rookie.
