pretend you are looking right at the ball coming towards you, and right before you catch it you turn your head left and catch the ball over your left shoulder.... the annimation makes no sense so I understand how you dont follow the txt , its kinda hard to explain... just keep playing you'll know exactly what im talking about after you play a little bit longer
Situation: Playing as Arizona, I'm down by 7 at their 35 yard line with 3 seconds to go. Pittsburgh decides to bring an all out blitz and I easily lob it to one of my 3 wide open WR's for the game tying TD.
Why are they sending 8 there?

After a couple games I've finally won 14-3 with the Steelers on All-Madden. Scored on a pick-6 and a long drive capped off by a 4 yard pitch to Parker. The game is pretty solid you really have to play sort of conservatively if you are going to win you can't go deep every play which I like! I really enjoy the fixed Counter run, it was garbage in 09 but it's fixed now. Can't wait for the real game, it's going to be even better.
Also can't wait for online idiots going to try to go deep every play with the Pats, gonna get intercepted all day.

Please tell me that they have fixed the animation where the the receiver jumps for an over the shoulder catch and the trailing DB jumps with him, then latches on to his back -- and then magically, both guys elevate another foot in the air as if the jumped again.
It looks really really bad and happens quite a bit, especially in the endzone on fade routes

I was loving this demo the first 5 or so times I played it, but there are still old issues and a couple new ones that are really bugging me as I continue to play it.
-The pass coverage still seems fundamentally broken. It's nice that guys actually press at the line now (most of the time), but they immediately give the guy the inside route and let him run crazy across the middle. If you don't press, it seems like they give the guy a permanent 5 yard cushion, and sure enough they run wild all over you.
-The zone still does not work properly. Instead of guys actually covering the receiver that comes into their zone, they just stay rigid in their pattern until the ball is thrown and then make a play on the ball. They basically ignore the receivers most of time.
What defenses do you guys have success with? It seems like you can't go all out man, so (like I had to do with the last Madden) you just have to put everyone in zone and hope that the defensive pattern happens to much up with the offensive one. It's very frustrating that it's so unreliable. And to top it off, it seems that the CPU plays perfect pass defense. They press at the line and hold my guys there, and when they do release they are actually running slightly ahead of my receiver on their routes. Clearly the potential is there for the AI to play competent defense (even too competent), so why the heck does it only happen for the CPU and not my CPU teammates??
-Minor gripe that's been mentioned: The over the shoulder catch is an okay addition, but it happens way too often and in the wrong instances. You don't need to be showing off your new animations by having it trump the more logical animation 90% of the time. If I'm facing the ball, put your hands up and catch it, don't turn and make a more awkward catch for no reason.
These are really my biggest problems right now. My other gripes are minor so I'm gonna stop here. The broken secondary AI basically killed Madden 09 for me. I've gone from 'can't wait' when I first played the demo to 'hmm, i don't know' now

You sound like Napoleon Dynamite. Get a new TV. LOL. That is a pretty lame glitch though. Please remember that it is a 1 minute demo. Hopefully these glitches will be fixed. I threw one pass with Roelthisberger that went right through Rolle's chest into Holmes's hands. It was really bad. That has by far been the worst glitch I have seen yet. All in all I still think the demo is pretty solid, but far from perfect. I wish 2K could still make football games.

after playing the Pre-order version i can certainly see the IAN touch here.... really a step up in terms of this being more of an NFL game.
Much less arcadey (regardless of all the piddly, nagging issues)
It is the first NFL next Gen game IMO and not just another Madden.

Quick question..and forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but is there no commentary in the pre-order demo? Im on the PS3 by the way.
