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

Don't know if any1 has done this yet, but when you are lining up for a FG, you can pause the game, go to replay, then go back and resume game and the camera switches to behind the FG post(like on tv). I don't know about you guys, but I wish this was the camera angle for FGs.

Ok... So I gave this demo a couple tries with sliders adjusted ad with game speed on very slow and threshold on 25. I started on pro and raised CPU to all 60 and downgraded me to all 65 and to be honest with you it felt great. I didn't feel cheated ad it was a close contest at 23-3 which doesn't sound close but I made two great plays on D when they were in the red zone. I could run a lil and pass a lil with more positive frequency. I saw little to no jumping LB's and psychic DB's. I felt pressure in the pocket but had enough time to make the right play. So for now... Things went from not buying to maybe giving it a try after all. I'm still upset I have to tinker with it so much but oh well.

Are you nuts have you not played any of the previous maddens the demo is awful its the exact same game as last year. The blocking sucks theirs still morphing and the all around physics is pathetic. It may feel different but at the core its the same don't let them fool you. Personally I think EA sees the writing on the wall, their license is going to expire and their incompetent reign will soon come to an end this will be the first year I don't get madden. They really shouldn't of put out a demo because of the demo I'm not gonna get it. They could of fooled me one more time. Fortunately I have NBA 2k12 and MW3 coming soon I was thinking about getting Battlefield 3 but after the E3 presentation and more research, not to mention the fact that its made by EA I have decided against it.

Also they said they fixed gang tackling B.S. I have not seen one yet and I've played about 6 games. It seems like when ever a 2nd defender comes all he does is knock off the first tackler and maybe in EA's twisted mind they think thats gang tackling. Oh and if you dont believe me on the blocking try running a draw play then go to replay and watch your offensive line. Haven't you also noticed that receivers catch everything even if they get popped.

Hey man was up nice to hear from you

Yes we both have a different reaction to the Madden demo for sure, and nothing is wrong with that. In my eyes we are both right for what we like in our games.

I will still give the retail version a shot. I have a strong feeling that this demo is not the retail version at all.

No way it's close to the retail, it's an earlier build than E3 so I assume some of the linebackers-morphing-thru-the-QB and other glitches to be fixed

And you are correct. AJ confirmed that the long ball has been fixed, running QB's fixed and one other thing that I can't recall fixed.

So, it's all good.
