Good game. And for once, I feel like the PS3 didn't get shafted because it really does look great all of the time. The sound is a nice improvement, too. You can finally hear the crowd getting into the game. I like this.

Edit:

I thought the lighting of the Redskins game was fantastic. I liked how I couldn't really tell who was who on a kick return because it was dark. Not sure if that would really be the case at 1 PM. But it did look pretty sweet.

After playing 4 games on ps3 here are some thoughts...

Good
Commentary is so much better. Fluid and mostly relevant.
Running is def smoother and much more responsive.
Passing feels natural. Usually throws the ball the way I want it to.
Lighting is excellent.
Feels like a new game
Receivers are generally smarter.

Bad
Some really braindead AI. Horrible clock management.
Wonky cutscenes. Had DeAngelo Hall practicing game winning kicks.
We need late hits after the whistle. The new engine certaintly allows for it and it happens often.
If you sort a category in stats it jumps back to the first stat column every time. Def annoying.

Overall its still a buy and I think I will be satisfied.

I've never claimed to be a great Madden player against the AI lol, bt I was whooping them on all pro. These things don't happen to me haha. I think the engine has alot to do with the movements and overall flow of the game now and the breaks can make a huge difference now.

i thought it was my tv/xbox setting i guess not though... yea the lighting needs a touch up on that stadium or maybe it just a lighting glitch in the demo for that game because the giants san fran game looks fine....it just in the standard camera play angle that it seems too dark

i hope they included that zoom camera in the retail version to show off the much improved graphics and overall lighting...i would even like to have the ZOOM camear angle from madden 12 in this year as well the more cameras the BETTER

I agree. I was playing the Giants vs 49ers game and I was up 14-10 in the 4th quarter with :59 seconds to go and the 49ers ran the ball three times (including on their last play of the game). Everything else was great, but THAT needs to be fixed asap.

I dunno if I'm just heavily into NCAA or what but I can't get into this game on the defensive side of the ball ;/

I saw no issues with the lighting in my game between Redskins -Seahawks .

The only problem I have with the demo is the commentary. I love how the intro skit is put together in the booth, but I would rather not have that and have a more in depth HT show and more enthusiasm when big plays happen. I just finished up a great OT game running with the G-Men vs the 9'ers... I was down by a TD with 7 seconds on the clock as I connect with Nicks in stride to tie the game as time expired and I tell you the commentating on that play totally killed my buzz. They simply just stated that it is now a tie game... Then I hit a game winning 48 yd. FG, still absolutely no energy in the final call of the game. Very lackluster to be polite, other than that I love the way the game plays out. A solid slider set will have this game in my tray for a long long time lol
