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.

Uhh hate to break it to ya guy... but the demo is "downloaded" to the hard drive? No one is running this demo off of a disc?

does anybody know if u can see cpu vs cpu

I'm loving the feel...but the collision is waaay too much. I'm seeing guys falling after the whistle is blown. Big O-Lineman falling down by just walking into someone. A lot of very weird animations (tackling). Maybe I'm being too critical. I love that EA finally stepped outside the box, but the new engine MAY have been rushed.

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.

The individual pump fake was new in Madden 12 and never really worked that well IMHO.

I would have had much more yards, but, of course, the DT stuffed me in the backfield a couple of times because my guard inexplicably didn't block him at the line of scrimmage. Other than the dumbing down of my offensive line the Read Option was fairly effective on All Madden provided you made the right read.

LOL at running one play the whole game and your concern is the few times the guard didn't block.

after one game:

physics is really cool, but as stated above, there's some weird stuff after the play is dead.

on a 3rd and 2, i ripped off a long gain, got called for holding, and had a first down with the ball in the correct after-penalty spot. did i miss a rule change this year?

a couple of anomalies that took me out of the game, one was my fullback SLOWLY running into one of my pulling guards and getting thrown to the right like he was shot out of a cannon. it looked really bad.

overall, a good demo and i like the direction we're headed in. even though it sounds like i didn't like it, i really did have fun, and what's more important than that?

I didn't know you could pump fake to individual receivers last year. Seemed to work well for me in the demo..

Problem is, what is in the demo usually shows up on the disc! And this failure will be no different.
