Wow. Just threw a under thrown bomb to Moss. And he came back for the ball jumped and made a twisting mid air catch. Looked great.

Pretty good.

Something seems like it's not quite smooth enough tho. Maybe it's just the demo and the retail will be smoother

Some more quick impressions.

I said it before that they need to turn down the big hits, and also the sounds the plays when it happens.

On All-Madden, the CPU pass rush is deadly and on top of that my WR are not getting open. I really think its the skill level because the Seahawks WR can get open and they are not that much better, if not better at all then the Redskins WR. Once again its a fine line EA walks with this because I want it to be realistic but at the same time I dont want it to be impossible to get a pass off.

In the future, I hope EA gives us the options to have a Real Time or broadcast presentation like MLB The Show does. After the whistle is blown, you can still see the new engine in work but only in real time. Players will get off piles realistically, but when they show players getting up in a cutscene, it does not look very good. Players once again move as if they are programmed (if that makes any sense). Although the engine still produces funky movements after the play it still is a thing of beauty when it works.

Once the honeymoon phase wears off, people will start to notice that every tackle plays out the same exact way 75% of the time. With two people simply running into each other like bumper cars. I would like to see more fundamental tackles. Not just head on collisions.

Cut to Eli walking away when outta know where he gets torpedo'd. I literally lol'ed. Super linebacker is def gone. I didn't see a problem with lighting on ps3. I think the reason for no replays in the demo is pretty obvious. I couldn't imagine the amount of Youtube videos showing every flaw with infinity. Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2

Ya, I find it kind of funny that there are no replays lol! This thread has blown up today but it would be double with replays and ya youtube too lol!!

It looks better when played on very slow with threshold at 2(personal preferance) Also, any issues I have with it is mainly after the tackle when players just mysteriously fall down from a small bump.

Goofy moments with new engine, but all-in-all, better than expected. I'm satisfied for now.

Just played my first demo as the Redskins and I must say I think this Madden plays SO much more better than last years. The physics works well although sometimes if I barely bump my O-line as a RB he will fall down.

My main problem is the lighting. I am using a very good HDTV on PS3 which has no problems in any of my other games but the players shadows are too dark. When the camera drops back on a pass it is really hard for me to tell who is offense/defense down field. No problem when running really just passing because the camera is zooming out.

Is anyone else having this problem?
