I don't understand we pay $60 for a game and we can't alter something as minuscule as a glove color or shoe type? I wouldn't complain if the person in charge of player modeling/design could get it right. These player models have been screwed up since Madden came to the next gen console. I just can't buy this it's unacceptable!

Damn. I guess EA didn't get the memo.

I would like to believe this will be fixed in the final version.

Like the new physics. I like the new sound, more like a real game. But...WHERE are the classic controls??? The developers said both games, NCAA and Madden, would have the same controls. That is hard to do when Madden only has the strategy pad controls. Sure, pumping up the crowd and kicking are now the same. I mean, these guys at Tiburon must realize that people who haven't bought the game in years are going to get the game due to the new physics engine. They have to realize that just like when it was first introduced, many won't like the strategy pad, me included. I really hope this is just for the demo.

Actually we are all wrong. Each team only gets a possession if the team that gets the ball to start ot doesn't score.

So if they score on the first drive the game is over.

U misread it. Only if u score a td on first poss. I scored a fg. So the other team was supposed to get the ball for a chance to tie or win

If first team to score just kicks a Field Goal the opposing team gets an opportunity to possess the ball. If first team score touchdown game is over. This applies to both regular season and playoff games now.

Just played another game of demo and this is the first time I can say the demo isn't getting old fast.

LIKE: I like the new engine for the most part. The commentary is vastly improved so far as I can see from the demo. The crowd is exceptionally better. The presentation is a lot more inviting than before. Pile-ups are nice. I like how running up the middle works with guys stumbling and what not. As long as it's not too over done it's a nice addition, but as far as I could see it worked well. The Broncos weren't in it so that is also something to like. I don't like them.

DID NOT LIKE: The coaches are some of the fugliest looking creatures I've ever seen in my life. I would almost rather not see their nasty faces when I play the game. The jersey colors are a little off it seems (particularly the Seahawks uniforms). They are almost grey and can hardly tell the difference of which team is which when I return the ball. The only thing I can do is run away from the people that are running toward me. Sometimes the engine is a little wacky, but that's to be expected. I think that can be patched. The AI play-calling is a little stoogy at times but I think I can fix that with some sliders kicked in.

OVERALL: I have really enjoyed the demo. I'm excited to use the Chiefs and get in on some CCM. I really think the game came out pretty great and it showed a lot of promise. Hopefully the lighting gets touched up on; I don't expect them to touch up the coaches faces at all. But who can blame them, they are so ugly they probably just gave up cause they were tired of looking at them.

I'll buy the game.
