Really no point in posting this, over 1,000 replies..

Pros:
Tackling is awesome.
Presentation AMAZING!!
Graphics were good.
Just feels GOOD playin the game, much better than Madden 11.

cons:
Feels like there isn't much weight to the players..weird.
Punt returning was a pain, no blocking at all

2 Questions:

1) Seems whenever I try to hit-stick someone, my defender misses and 'whifs'. For the hit-stick to work does the defender's trait for big hit's have to be YES?

2) Like I said, I don't feel the weight...When I run w/ hester its the same as running w/ forte. What threshold do u guys use? I use 25 on the 'slow' setting

Gave the Demo another go, and the demo has pushed me further away unfortunately.

Again I do not like the results when tackles take place. The over feel of the game feels wrong to me.

I'm not going to go into details, because with so many things being said. Im sure what I feel is wrong has been mentioned, or maybe not and that's ok anyway.

even with how the demo has made me feel I will still give the retail version a try. I will just barrow a copy first, or buy the EA season ticket. Madden isn't the only game I want to demo before purchasing, so maybe the ticket would be a better decision.

Anyways what has also pushed me further away is after playing the demo. I jumped on to playing NCAA 12, and NCAA 12 felt much better. I actaully starting appreciating NCAA 12 a lot more after playing the Madden demo.

Hey, bud how is it going.

The demo had the opposite affect on me. Pushed me closer to Madden. I think it's because I know college is buggy and waiting for a patch.

I just downloaded the demo...played one game. How do you perform swim moves/power moves with the d-line. I could not figure this out, and I couldnt find it in the controls?

Um hit the Right Stick (left/right) for a swim/rip move left or right. That's the only move's I know, don't do bull rushes..
