[Edi286]

I played a little bit this morning, was impressed with the presentation, overall look of the game

this will be the first Madden I've owned since 08, not because I'm anti Madden, but I've put off video gaming to focus on studies, so everything will be new to me lol. So it will get a purchase from me

I definitely agree. This is another EA hype/fail situation that will get ugly in a few weeks. This new engine makes the game like playing pin ball in a football game. If guys really tackled this way they would all have neck injuries. Very disappointed but not surprised that this won't live up to the hype. Anyone who says they can "feel the physics" are suffering from the placebo effect and hope that this is better. And the DVD9 is starting to show up on the 360 as the game is jittery and blurry for the most part.

I had a free Gold sub still sitting to activate from when I purchased my Xbox. I went ahead and did that, downloading now. Thanks for the info!

The textures of the Skins retro helmets are very nicely done. Looks great

Couple immediate reactions after about 6 games:

-All Madden is a little ridiculous with user dropped passes and CPU broken tackles.
-Passing is already 100x better. Passes are much better placed and just make more sense overall.
-Lob passes actually work and dont hang in the air forever.
-Receivers actually catching the ball in stride for once is awesome.
-New pump fake system is amazing. Pump fake a deep post to open up streaks down the sideline. Possibilities for good QBs are endless.
-Blocking seems significantly better.
-Trucking with the new infinity engine is incredibly satisfying. Do yourself a favor and use Marshawn Lynch a few times.
-Receivers jumping catch animations are quick and simple not long and drawn out.
-Defense overall just feels right. Seems to get beat at the right spots and makes stops in the appropriate situations.
-Aside from playing on All Madden and having the computer truck over my whole team with Helu, honestly no BS to report feels realistic and balanced.

Overall I am more than impressed. This already feels like the best Madden in years. Can't say enough about infinity.
