I was asking about your experience with it, man. I know what it is myself but cool. I'm done.

San Fran is unstoppable, they have the best team on the game. You can ground and pound with Gore and Jacobs or air it out to Moss, Ginn, or Davis.

Oh yeah anyone notice how certain teams automatically know you're doing an out route when they slide quickly towards the left or right?

Yeah, if you know what I'm talking about, that should be FIXED!

For me all of my problems come from the sliders. it's obvious that game favors the cpu on all-madden and all-pro. Playing this demo for the last day or so, and noticing how little pressure the cpu qb get's from my Giants. I purposely ran a couple of blitz and some prevent defense(I put the cpu in a situation to use the hail mary), to see why no one is at less getting into the back field. (As it seems the cpu can always get into the back field.)

The blocking for the cpu is cheese, yes cheese. When you finally do get past a lineman, the back automatically clips you. From what I've seen, the ratings don't mean squat when it comes to o-line d-line interaction. I know this is slider based, so I'm not mad at the game. Other video games do this as well, but it's just so obvious I guess. The higher the difficulty usually the higher the sliders are for the cpu.

I'm hoping some slider adjustments and a solid roster can fix some of this stuff. I'm still having a good time playing the game. But blocking ai needs some work, maybe it will be better in the retail version. I'm hoping.

I've noticed that as well.

Well since my initial impressions on the 14th I've played several more games. I like what I'm seeing from the demo. I've adjusted the sliders, game speed, and I've got the game playing fairly good. I passed on NCAA 13 but I'll be picking Madden 13 up. The changes are positive enough to keep me happy for a year.

One thing I really love is if I make a bad call on defense I can get burned by the deep ball.

whenever I blitz the QB he ALWAYS releases the IMMEDIATELY when I'M RIGHT THERE. Read my posts above yours for more.

Played the demo for about an hour last night. Not sure what to say. But I like NCAA 13's feel, player weightiness, animations - practically everything better than this Madden demo. Disappointed - it seems like steps are being taken backwards. Just doesn't even LOOK LIKE NFL football being played. If you MUST get this game, then more power to you. But for guys like me who LOVE football, I'm having a hard time telling myself it will be worth it. I had higher expectations, but those were clearly dashed.
