I'll have to respectfully but totally disagree with the OP. APF's player models were an absolute joke. You had D-lineman looking like WR's and big RB's/FB's looking like CB's. Sorry, that's not good.
Ickey Woods was a big dude in his playing days, but in APF he looked like he was on a steady diet of air and crack.
2K themselves acknowledged their failure on this, and I was told that when they were going into production for APF 2K9 that fixing the player models was a top priority. Of course, APF 2K9 was cancelled in production so we'll never know how it turned out.
I don't think any football game has done a better job with player models than what we have right now in Madden. Now this of course is all a matter of opinion, but proportions aren't so much, as they can be accurately gauged against real life and in this regard APF failed miserably among other enormous failures.

LoL, I agree too, People can say that 2k has better AI but besides that Madden ... ****SS!!!!! On everything else that has been done in those games .... We're not talking reality most people are talking about potential .. If you say AP doesn't look somewhat like 2k5, your lying to yourself

Having a little trouble here. Downloaded the Gamestop demo last night and tried mixing it up a little bit so I was going to dl the Cowboys/Giants one. However, when I go into XBL to download the demo, all i can do when clicking on M10 is "play now". Any help from someone who's been there before? And I am a gold member.
As a Madden 08 pc lover, I can finally put that game away.
I was going to get Backbreaker for my 'fun' football game, but I'm having so much fun with this one there is no need.
-Totally dig the way Jacobs can break out of tackles.
-Love the slower speed although might have to crank it up just a hair.
-The game actually feels alive, something that has been missing for forever. Nicely done!
-Stat banners will be great!
-I honestly don't care about the socks/handwarmers/towels/etc...but they do add to the texture of the game.
Overall, I'm having fun with just the 1 minute demo! I know people will constantly pick it apart, and maybe that's necessary to further the game along, but as long as I'm having fun it's all good!
Congrats Ian and crew, this one looks like a winner! You've turned this ship around!

I only managed to get in one game last night (1 min qtr version), and at the risk of scandalizing the sim-heads out there I have determined that I'm going to have to crank up the game speed. Compared to NCAA, Madden feels like an old-timers game.

cause its alot more exciting when everyone feels the same
This is a specific question about Madden and I want to know if anyone has been able to do this on the demo at all. If you are playing as a DE (or rush OLB), can you just speed rush around the OT and get pressure on the QB without fully engaging the OT?
I'm not that good at the r-stick moves yet and wasn't able to do it in the limited time I had with the game so I can't judge the game at all on this yet. But for those with more gaming time and better skills, was DeMarcus Ware or one of the G-Men sack masters able to just run around one of the OTs?
I hate bringing up 2K4/2K5 since it usually leads to fanboy wars but in this specific area, they did it very well. A DE could get past the OT without fully engaging him while EA has always struggled with this aspect. I don't expect this to be effective all the time at all. Just want to know if it can be done once in awhile.
Thanks.

Unfortunately rudy, this year you might have to engage. I'm working on blogs for stuff for next year that talks about all of this.

Just played the Xbox live demo. Wow.
Now this is next gen (or is that current gen) HD gaming! Snow game at giant stadium looks amazing in 1080p. I'm liking the way it plays too and they captured Tony Romo's throwing motion perfectly.
Oh man, this demo completely changed my outlook on Madden this year. This was going to be a rental at best but I'm pre-ordering it now. I think they've turned the corner with this one. Wow.

To all fellow OS members if you are looking for codes to the exclusive demo with 5min Qtrs. I have 4 extra codes that i received from Gamestop. These codes are for the 360 only and I will give them to the first 4 members that PM me with their requests.
I LOVE that Warner can't throw a bullet pass 30 yards downfield (actually saw him bring the ball down and **** back for a deep throw, GREAT animation addition).
I LOVE that Jereme Urban doesn't catch everything.
I LOVE that Beanie Wells dropped a pass to him out in the flat.
I LOVE that Larry Fitzgerald kills DB's on high balls. I LOVE that Anquan Boldin does not! Boldin does usually take on 2 defenders before going down however....greatness.
Why do I love all this? Because RATINGS FINALLY MATTER!!!!! I actually have to make smart decsions based on personnel. I can't wait to play the final build. It's great that finally each team and player will feel and play differently.

On All-Madden, I am finding it impossible to sack the QB. Also the incomplete passes are usually just from knockdowns, same as last year. However, with the new sliders this will hopefully be more adjustable than last year.

its just frustrating because this gen they started out about 10 steps back from the ps2/xbox maddens and they're just now catching up. the franchise should have progressed a lot farther than it is right now IMO, even graphically it wasn't up to par to last gen until this year, the past player models, faces and all that were hideous
One thing I can say that I don't like that I hope will be adjustable is the way the camera moves down on a running play.
When the play starts, I can't see as clearly as I'd like. I think the overlay gets in the way too , but I could be mistaken. I just don't like the view.

I dont see bad DB coverage, I see REALISTIC DB coverage that varies based on ratings
