I personally thought they were flaws when I played. They both kind of took away from the immersion and presentation they were trying to improve.

My point was that FIFA experienced the exact same issues with wonky physics performance in the FIFA demo that were largely resolved by retail. No reason the same thing can't happen with Madden.

The first game I played I was not that impressed. The second game I played I started to see some thing I really like. Definately some strides being made but until we have competition again the improvements will be incremental at best. Going in the right direction though.

One small thing I was happy to see was the beautiful slo-mo replays that reminded me of the first madden on the PS2.

The only thing missing from this game is Jim Nantz screaming "BOOM SHACKALACKA!!!" because there is nothing "real" about this game. Also, I have and do enjoy football games plenty. Madden is not a football game. Its an abomination, a Frankenstein's monster of sports video games that unfortunately has the exclusive license of being called an NFL game.

You are 100% right!! I wish they would hire people with real football sense and build something totally different from the ground up because it will never get better at this point! The demo is weak and the final game wont be much better, again sorry to say! Wish we could travel ahead in time or start over in 2005! JMO guys relax!!

Try our user sliders if you have a buddy to play with on the same console, see my sig.

I love the new physics, but I do feel like there are some overexaggerated animations but that's expected, I guess.

One play, Frank Gore looked like he got shot in the back the way he went down.

Run blocking is very suspect on all-pro. It seems really unbalanced, the cpu can hit holes and hold blocks for what it seems like forever, even when I bring a blitz. While on the user side, as soon as the rb receives the handoff it's a defender in his face, hitting holes seems almost impossible because your teammates can't block for ish, and when you finally do get a big gain, it's a holding call.

Idk if this is just me, because I haven't played madden in a while.

Yeah I have seen a few surprises in the demo that weren't there in the builds I last played. Me= happy guy. Still wanted to see more though, the implementation of CCM will tell the tale for me.
