Seems to me that those who are really happy are PS3 owners who had to suffer 30FPS last year.
To be perfectly honest, up until I played the demo I was more excited about NCAA 09 than Madden 09. But now I am looking forward to Madden.

Just played 2 games PS3 version. I was so pumped for this game I started to think my expectations were to high. WRONG....I love it.
IMO its leaps and bounds better than 08. The players have weight to them, you can feel the momentum. Graphics are sick. Best looking player models to date.
Some positives
1. Animations, they look great.
2. Overall feel of the game is more last-gen, IE weight and momentum.
3. Nice playbooks.
4. Just feels like football.
Negative.
1. Saw a few weird animations.
2. Could have better presentation.
The game overall just feels good. Everything looks and acts right. The crowd is even much improved. I am no super pumped for July 15th. But damn Just think what Madden will be.

I'm not as confident in this turnover ''fix'' as most people here. This is a 100% game killer for me, and I'm going out to buy the game as soon as it's released - I'm a bit concerned, to say the least. The guy in the Madden section completely avoided any questions about the turnover ''fix,'' so I'm not sold on Madden either.
I wish more people would address the issue, though.

4 onside kick recoveries and 5 user sacks wit the DL in 2.5 games
After two game LSU has thrown 6 interceptions (4 as CPU and 2 while I played) OSU didn't throw any. However OSU had two fumbles (one was right after an interception and the other was a QB getting sacked) while LSU had 0. Turnovers are beginning to scare me. This whole post-TD celebration thing is going to be a disaster if the player is allowed to walk through people like he can in the demo. And I agree with whoever said that the game seems slow. Maybe I just really really suck but I had no big running plays b/c i couldn't outrun anyone. I also saw a few phantom tackles which scares me. All in all I'm disappointed but I'm not shocked at all. Last year I wasn't expecting it but this year I'm ready.

Also the cpu QB threw a couple of bad balls. One was on an in route, just pass the receivers hands, the other was thrown behind the WR on a slant.

So I take it we'll get it back in 2010, eh? At the expense of what, jerseys being eliminated?
This truly baffles me, b/c back in the day from Genesis all the way up to PS1, we were ADDING things year to year. I can't name one game from EA during that time that would get into the 3rd year, and then start removing features.
And even more baffling is that some of you all actually think this is fine.
Playing 2 minute quarters I find it hard to draw any real conclusions on game play, just can't get into any sort of flow play calling or playing D.
I enjoyed 08 and thought if they could just fix the cpu throwing 5+ ints a game and give the sliders a bigger effect, it would be top notch.
After playing about 10 games with the demo I can't really tell if cpu throwing lots of picks is fixed or not. Had some games where it wasn't an issue and a few that felt the same as last year.
I think it's better, but seems like it was fixed by altering DBs ability to break up passes, not by fixing how the cpu picks who it throws to which I think is needed big time. Way too many dumb throws by the cpu that make you question if there is even anything behind how it picks who to throw to sometimes. I suppose more time is needed with the demo as some dumb passes are a good thing.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my rb likes to juke immediately after getting the handoff sometimes when I haven't pushed the R stick.

After several games, I have thrown one interception and the A.I. have not thrown any. I have also had one throw fly high and have seen a few where the A.I. has thrown it low. It was cool celebrating with mascots and the cheerleaders look well done. The sidelines though not perfect, have better player models.
Overall the game feels much improved to me from 08' which I did not dislike after the patch. Good luck guys.

Played both demos and the 360 version is definitely running smoother than the PS3 version. The PS3 version runs better than last year, but the 360 version still has an extra year under its belt.

some of you guys have to remember even in the nfl or college football turnovers can be few or abundant. How would you like a game that that had a no turnover logic. A game that did whatever was needed to disallow a turnover by the computer. I say this because I played 6 games and saw legit turnovers that happened during desperate times for the cpu. With such little time what do you expect the qb to do when time is short and they're trying to score at the end of the half or game.

Things of interest in my game (PS3):
1. FL Screen actually worked
2. I had OSU backed up on their own goal. They throw a pass to a back out in the flats. Wells is all alone and has plenty of room for the 1st down. He catches the ball and slips/falls down.
3. They ran a successful fake punt. If challenges were in, they wouldn't have gotten it spot wise.
4. At the end of the game, I was at OSU's goal and scored 3 times in a row without a TD. 1st time got me a 1st down as I was a few yards outside the 10 when I ran the 1st play. On 3rd and goal (4th overal play), I ran a QB sneak and was finally awarded a TD.
I did like the face that we can choose from 4 plays on the play calling screen instead of selecting the "highlighted' play. The controls are much better "handling" wise. It's gonna take a while to get used to R1 being the throw away the pass button. The int's (3 total) that happened were due to throwing into coverage (2 by CPU).
