[Raekrazy003]

Giants 10 (Me) 49ers 7 FOT
Pretty good game I think I should have ran the ball a little more nothing spectacular both qbs threw a pick

Seahawks 3 Redskins 31 (Me)
Wow RG3 may be overrated I was 24/27, 293 yards, 3 tds, 1 int, 12 carries for 71 yards 1 td
RG3 is good but that defense is wicked and the receiving group is deep and fast Washington will be a top 5 Madden team no doubt

Both games All Madden custom sliders

Did I mention this game has badass graphics?!? Yeah I'm always hyped for Madden but not like this

Ok I've been playing Madden since the first one on Sega Genesis. And there has been only 2 that I didn't get. One was 98 when I got Game Day 98, which I thought was better that year and the first 360 version of the game. I'm finaly tired of getting ripped off and I think this is another year of us getting ripped off. I've been playing the demo, and come on really? Its the same game the physics engine is doing nothing for me. For example I ran the ball with 49ers back Kendle Hunter and just tossed a DT! They said that wouldnt happen this year. Then running with Brandon Jacobs I flattened a DT just to be stood up by a FS. I dont care what back you have you should not be able to just run threw a big DT like Haloti Ngata or Casey Hampton. Suction blocking seems to be back. Everyone seems to be on the ground all the time. Guys are tripping and falling all over the place. Guys bound off guys that are not even moving fast! It dosent seem like anyone wraps up on tackles. Everyone is on ice skates. It seem like they put one good thing in just to take out the few good things from the previous year. Game play should top everything In my opiniun and they seem to be more focused on presentation. I even think ncaa took a step back in game play this year. But the game looks great visually and passing is better. Thats just not enough for me. When will EA give us that game that make us say DAMN! and you can't even say any other year of the game or any other company came close. I know it's just a demo so I will get it from game fly to see if it's any better. This is just my opinion.

Has anyone been able to make a throw like Eli did in the Super Bowl? Or make any back shoulder passes?

Not sure if it is my PS3 or what but the between play replays can be very jerky. Also, takes forever to get to the next play...you have to hit X a few times and it seems slow to respond.

It delivers fun and that's why I game. Going to mess more with the speed threshhold and just basically practice while waiting for release and the start of the 3SD league.

I don't know where all this "anything can happen" talk is coming from, because I don't feel that in the least bit. I feel this game is just as pre determined as ever, with money plays being nearly unstoppable by the CPU, and the CPU still being able to do things at will if they choose to.

Its the same as last year in terms of money plays - the CPU can't stop slant patterns, and I can put up 400 yards a game on the 5 minute demo with Alex Smith just doing slants and drags to Michael Crabtree all game. Power O and stretch runs with Frank Gore are still virtually unstoppable. Oh, and this is all on All Madden.

Its the same ol' same ol' of calling plays to exploit the AI, not actually gameplanning to outsmart your opponent. I don't know where this "anything can happen" comes from, cuz its certainly not a part of my experience.
