The play by the D-lines is really starting to annoy me. On most passing plays half your line gets chopped down at the snap and the other two are locked up or double teamed. Combine this with a very limited move set and it can get very frustrating. Almost all the sacks I get are coverage sacks or when the QB runs right into me.

Meanwhile the CPU is jumping the snap and nailing me before I can move.

use more fake snaps(R1). so the cpu cant time your snap.which leads to less jumps

I agree mixing up your snap counts is key..I've had maybe 2 jump snaps and that's it.

Plenty of things I like about the demo, but I really hope they fixed the onside kicks. Everytime the CPU attempts one, I can return it for a TD.

I'm very surprised at the number of people who have said they aren't going to buy this game based off a demo, which stems from an earlier build that, according to those who have played the newer version, has problems that have already been fixed. I personally thought the demo was great, especially for being an earlier build. I personally don't think it's fair to judge a game based on a demo that has known issues, especially since the retail game is still a month off. IMO, this demo should be treated more as a beta, with us as game testers giving feedback on the pros and the cons of the game. This demo cannot be justification on buying or not buying the game, especially with the mostly positive feedback we've heard from the developers and those who've played the newest version. I'd say give the game a chance. At least wait until the game comes out and hear from those who have played the game first hand or rent the game first before completely throwing the game off the radar. That's just my opinion though.

from what i hear, i kinda lik the demo. however, i haven't played the demo which sucks. im at my grandma's who has hi-speed but has all tv's from the 1960's w/ no a/v jacks. this is where i was lookin for a little help.

i can plug my 360 into the internet, but w/ no screen. could someone help navigate me so i could download the demo (as in a move by move from 360 startup) and then I could take it to my friend's house to play?

Please???

Thanks, Spence

I am inspired by your dedication, your resiliency, your determination to get the job done in the face of daunting obstacles that stand in your path. Don't ever lose that spirit, man.

Dude, there comes a point when a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Grab your 360 and start knocking on neighbors doors.

Yeah this seems to work. I was changing when I snapped on the play clock but wasn't using this very much.

# 953 ESPNdeportes @ 06/21/08 03:24 PM

Played the demo a few times. Its the first time I've played any "next-gen" football title. I liked it a lot. I just suck at running, I think. It feels like I'm always met in the backfield on any traditional running play. Options seem to work ok for me.

But other than that, nothing that sliders shouldn't be able to fix (passing %, lack of pressure on QB's)

So, given that 09 actually looks more realistic in terms of uniforms also means I think they're worse graphics because they're not shiny and overly done. Hope that makes sense. They look normal, not exaggerated. Plus, the field looks 100x better than last year, so I will take these uniforms with that field, easily.

you're probably right man. And the fields do look a lot better

I actually think the player momentum had the biggest impact on the game defensively. I felt I had more control over my defensive players in the PS2 versions and it was a lot easier to defend the pass as a result. The offensive moves don't matter that much to me although I liked the faster speed still of the PS2 version.

I won't play another one for another 5 years I'm sure so why is it still in there. Maybe I'm totally alone on this one but I doubt it.

They already had the mascots modelled for the game. The developers said it took roughly one day to put the mascot game together. Team entrances would take a lot longer to build so they didn't cut anything to do the mascot game even if many of us never play it.

I suck at running too and I had the '08 version for the PS3. I also sucked running the ball in that game as well lol.
