If you went over to a buddy's house and walked in midgame, there is no way you would know if it was Play Now, Preseason, Week 1, Week 10 or Week 17. That's an issue for immersion.

I don't think I can tell that from the demo version, it's only play now games. Franchise might be different this year.

I don't get that though. I can say things and it is just fine and then times when there's little noise (and I've even went up to the Kinect and spoke) and it doesn't register at all. It's pretty finicky
Ok I turned the volume off and it's still hit or miss. Hope it is better in retail.

I'd be a liar if I told you I didn't want this game at this point. I enjoyed the hell out of the gameplay, and can't wait to see my BILLS in action. The buzzkill for me as you all know by now is the truly outdated generic faces on the STARS of my team and it truly does suck to see this.

I am kindly asking the GC's to please help us get some type of editing system in place to make our players more authentic, or just get on EA about updating key players on each TEAM, because it is a HUGE part of an authentic presentation.

All the airtime that Stevie Johnson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Fred Jackson got last season....If nothing is updated on these guys portraits or models by release, I will call BS and a travesty. I beg EA to get on this for all teams!

The commentary is so tight...like, I swear, as soon as the ball crosses the goal line, they say TOUCHDOWN. They seriously stop dead in anything they're saying to announce what immediately happens. Very cool.

Dude, I think folks like us are going to have some beast fun seriously just using Play Now Mode. It's pretty much going to rule. Making spreadsheets may well suck, but I'll be making them and sharing if folks want them.

I like the demo, overall. Need to get used to the slower game speed. I am used to NCAA 13 speed, I know it can be changed, but I'd rather play like it is. Also, the physics are a little over the top with the falling down after the play. but it is a good step forward.

Commentary is so damn good. Truly the FIFA influence in present in this game.
