is there a link?

I am glad they did put it in with all its flaws, because if they did not, would not be buying this game again this year. I could not take another year of canned animations.

I have to say, I really like what I See from the Infinity Engine. I played the game on Normal, and it felt too fast and then I saw some funny stuff with the infinity engine, but once I turned the game speed down to very slow everything seemed more crisp, sharp, and the funny stuff occurred FAR less frequently. To me, this madden feels like it's built to play on a slower speed than normal.

But you have to remember, this is a demo it doesn't mean it is final build. The demo offers us an opportunity to decide on if you want to buy the game or not. If you decided you don't want to buy the game because of the demo, then your doing right by saving your money.

There is definitely some stuff I hope gets fixed by launch or with a patch, but I didn't see anything game breaking. In fact I noticed the infinity engines impact right away, a lineman fell over and Marshawn Lynch stumbled and ultimately fell down because he couldn't quite step over him. Then I ran into the back of my Offensive line and fell down because i got tangled up with their legs and lost balance (both situations put a smile on my face). The Infinity Engine is perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. But ultimately, I am really looking forward to CCM, and that is why I am going to buy the game.

Here is the thread. There is also a video on page 2 of a game at FedEx showing the lighting is better there.

There are still a couple strange moments but nothing like the demo and the shaking of the tackle at 1:09 by Garcon was really cool to see.

Even though he should have been tackled for a 1st down. So many facepalm, cringe worthy moments just playing a 20 minute demo. I can't imagine how frustrating this game is gonna get once I start playing 16 game franchise modes on 15 minute quarters. EA Tiburon continues their legacy of fail.

Yeah, I remember playing against the 49ers, and every 1st and 2nd down I'd stop them easily, whether it's a run or simple pass, then EVERY third down they'd get an easy pass to the flats to a guy whose WIDE OPEN, whether I was playing man for three straight plays or zone, it didn't make a difference.

The more I play the more I hate RTP. I seriously hope this isn't the way retail plays. Tackles just look extremely goofy and unrealistic. This is backbreaker all over again with the weightless moon men. I thought RTP was suppose to respect weight and momentum, cause if it is I'm not seeing it at all.

All the other changes I like alot though, mostly the changes to play action, makes a huge difference.

Yea it is ridiculous.

I am -almost- to the point where my NFL fix is not enough to buy this garbage anymore.

there's a after taste in my mouth that i can't shake. the infinity engine i thought would change the game completely from the old madden's but EA hyped the living hell out of the engine. Holy Crap. I was expecting a tottaly new game with the download but i was completely wrong. I just hope CCM isnt a huge disappointment like the engine.
