But there will be game speed options in the retail version or so I have heard.

They always punt the ball down the middle of the field and unless they get a lucky bounce, it ends up a touchback. (PS3/All Madden if it makes a difference) Also, the missed field goal returns seem to be a guaranteed TD return each time. I'm 3 for 3 thus far and the kicking team seems oblivious to the fact that I'm returning the missed attempt and don't really pursue the ball carrier until I reach the kicker.

Probably not many speedy guys on the offense's kicking team either. No way a long snapper is going to catch Devin Hester or Antonio Cromartie. I still remember watching Hester blow by all of the Giants' special teams guys when he returned a missed FG for a TD in '06. And the kicker is weak (relatively speaking), so he probably wouldn't be able to make the tackle unless he got lucky.

A lot of the other tackles attempt on a player I simply see my players simply "slip off" from the player as if they were "buttered up" or something.

One big thing I like about the demo is this; it seems like you can actually catch LB's who make INT's and run them down to make the tackle. In past Maddens, a LB would pick off the ball, and even those with average speed would turn into Carl Lewis, blow by everyone and score a TD. It seems more realistic this year. I threw a pick to Farrior who started running down the field, but I was able to run him down with Boldin, which is how it should be.

Does anyone else think of Pirates of the Caribbean every time the demo orchestral song plays on the demo?

I'm not saying this to be mean, but I think that Apex dude has OCD and has locked in on Madden right now. I hope someone can help him break his pattern and pull him away from all things Madden.

Besides that, there really is only one bottom line: will you enjoy the game or not. Every game can have nitpicking, heck every real NFL game has plenty of mistakes. If the game is as good as or better than the demo I know I will enjoy. Last year I didn't enjoy it so I sold it on Ebay and moved on with my life.

Commenting on the video a few posts above. Casey Hampton is off balance and falling down and I have no issue with Beanie breaking that tackle. Completely realistic. Take just about any running play in an real NFL game and slow it down and watch the guys who miss, why they miss and I think you would see somthing very similar.

What I do have a problem with is the fullback, sliding through the defender and joining the scrum as a blocker, That was weak and the video slow down version was very helpful to see that in slow motion happening.

Spongedaddy;

I hear what you are saying.

I just discovered something about this impression thread.

The people who are enjoying the demo are playing it and not posting much in here. The people who find a few flaws in one game are either posting videos of such or listing over and over their list of complaints.

I'm not saying everyone that is listing complaints is doing this, just a pattern I noticed with some.

Back to the demo.

This is kinda out of character for me posting impressions of a demo.

I usually just let get the game and play it without giving my impressions. Well for the last 3-4 years I've been really down on the Madden series. It was once one of favoroite video sports game until it arrived on NEXT GEN....

Well anyways this demo has me really excited abotu Madden again. I absolutely love the game play and that's on the default settings. Imagine if we could tweak the demo

EA has really stepped it this year and I must say I'm totally shocked by what I'm seeing in the demo version.

It is without question a must buy IMO.

# 1532 TheWatcher @ 07/25/09 02:30 PM

This game is hot. I love how I can't just zip around with the ball like I could last season.

I tried to make a quick shake right then left and momentum forced me to a hard stop before continuing. The future looks very bright for that.

how do mods keep leting this guy waste space on this thread we get it you don't like it.

# 1535 ch46647 @ 07/25/09 02:51 PM

Let me just say WOW! This demo continues to impress me more and more! You can really feel the difference in players this year. The stretched out ratings have just made an incredible difference. Player ratings seem to have more of an effect in this game then any other football game I have ever played. This goes for all positions and no just the almighty SPEED rating.

Thanks Ian and company!! Back to the demo's

Who else agrees that User Pass Rushing with good DEs is fun?

Tuck and Osi do nothing but abuse the 'Boys O-line

You've also complained in this thread over a dozen times. The game can't be that bad if you've played 18 games... seriously, what is the point is constantly repeating yourself?

Edit: Wow, there's an ignore button? Amazing! What a great feature.
