Still, fun demo to play, and now I'll do the demo, then do 08 on Varsity, two minute quarters, then over and over, really get a feel for other changes.
You can play the Mascot game because it takes place at The Swamp which currently has grass.

The time of day the demo takes place is hard to see the difference between grassy turf and natural grass. I think it will be more defined in the Retail version.

So far really enjoying the demo I think the flow of the game is light years ahead of 08. Waiting for the PS3 demo to drop to figure out which version I will be getting this year.

This is going to be the best update in some time, with the Demo, the MGS database, and a new Hotshots course.

Are we sure it's going to be around 5-6 pm? I remember the update a couple weeks ago that had the NASCAR demo was released pretty late on Thursday night, maybe even Friday morning. I had to download it on the Friday as it was not available the last time I checked on the Thursday evening around 10:30.

i played the mascot game just to see how it is, playing with the gator mascot is funny. the OL/DL gators with their tails stick up in the air, and their face in the ground. lol. its harder to see the running lanes though.

Who knows. I'm just going off of what others have said in this thread. Heck, this is the first demo that I have actually been ready to download from the PS Store the moment it comes out. We'll see. I sure hope it's not after 6 or 7PM. That would not be cool.

I am really looking forward to the PS3 demo since that was the version I was planning on getting, I want to make absolute certain it is consistent with the 360 version. Why does PSN have to suck so much?

BINGO!

Let me tell you something - if the CPU QB is as good as it's being made out to be, in the full game - I'm in love. This is something Madden never seems to get right. Sure would be nice to see the CPU step up for once, and hopefully again come August.

This game really needs dynamic lighting! Can you imagine how good those evening games would be transistioning into darkness. On that note, are there any night games at all? or are they always at dusk. (That will suck if that is the case).

I can also say I hate the left stick stuff. I want full analog control over my speed but when I ease up on the stick my guy does some stupid stop move. Does any one else think the RB's are too slow in the backfield? They feel like they are running in quicksand.

Other then that, I have to say I was pleasantly suprised by the demo. The avoidance animations post play really make the game look much more natural. OSU did throw the bomb on me and complete it at my 15. Unfortunately, their WR (who had me beat by 10 yds) starting doing the same stupid stop move mentioned above and I was able to tackle him before he scored. Looked really strange seeing him back juking no one. Next play, I picked the ball off in the endzone and took it 104 yds for the score.

I still feel a little out of control on the field but haven't gotten the controls down yet either. Off to play a few more.

As I was being sacked the game from on me. I have to restart the 360. gah!!!!!!!!

Pros:
No lag at the play call screen..thank god.
Like the new player models
Players with the jersey cut under the armpit are a nice touch
Gameplay feels real smooth, i really like the way i can strafe(LT) with the SS.
Lighting is beautiful
"Coach" players during timeout in last 2 minutes of halves. It would be great if this had more effect with the amount of coach prestige you build up in dynasty mode.

Cons:
Still absolutely ZERO amount of presentation before kickoff
Looking at the info provided for other game modes everything looks almost exactly the same. The snippet about practice regime in dynasty mode may be interesting. It's all about Online Dynasty this year anyways which is outstanding.
