I'm playing on all pro as the bears. got 2 sacks and a forced fumble but didnt pick it up. 4th down i end up blocking the fg and returning it for a td now up 10-7. i havent played a madden game since like 05 and i think that was my first blocked fg ever.

I'm surprised how many people play on AP, Madden has always been cheesy on AP.

I really hope they have the blocking fixed in the final version (I doubt it), but if this was suppose to be an area of improvement, the same glitches and issues that plagued it last year shouldn't be showing up within 2 games on Madden 12.

Yes, PS3 is horrible, X360 is way better...haha sorry bro, downloaded both the X360 and PS3 demo and they are both the same.

Seems like a solid build this year. I have not looked thru all the pages in this thread, but has anyone noticed you can 'trip'? I had an ai RB break free in open field only to change direction too fast and trip over his own feet.

Just played my first game in the demo and I gotta say... I'm not terribly impressed... I've been playing NCAA12 nonstop since it came out so maybe I'm too used the way it plays over the demo but it seems so much more fluid... Kind of like the framerates are lower in Madden... And for some reason, it's a bitch to run the ball as well.

The presentation was awesome though and I did notice the graphic improvements, but that's not why I'd be buying the game. I have it reserved but I'm just not sure if I'll go through with it. NCAA12 has got me hooked right now and it may just be worth my while to keep on it and wait until Madden comes down in price... Idk... I'm just kind of disappointed.

After tons of games of NCAA 12 and only a few of the Madden demo, it appears that psychic DBs are no where near as prevalent in Madden.

I like Dynasty infinitely more than Franchise mode, but I wish NCAA had Madden's coverage gameplay.

What the hell setting we supposed to use then?

# 551 ODogg @ 08/10/11 04:19 AM

In NCAA you can guess pass or run by hitting left trigger up, down, left or right. How do you do this in Madden?

No not duh, rookie or pro is way too easy and all madden is all-cheating...rethink your analysis..

# 553 illwill10 @ 08/10/11 04:25 AM

I like that the ability celebrate/jump on TDs is in.
I tried a game on All-Pro where I lower CPU Pass Reaction and Rush Reaction to 0. I had no problem exploiting the defense, very easy. I wish NCAA had these sliders. No Super LBs or Physic CBs. Saw Cutler scramble a few times
What is a good number to have CPU Pass & Rush Reaction?
I want it to challenging but not frustation.

I dont think this is in Madden. Would be a great add.
Would like to try out Individual Coveragem but have no time? Only good thing about no time, is that I am able to time a turbo blitz

just got my first one

you know what really pisses me off in this demo, every punt return i have two blockers in front of the returner and they have yet to do anything but stand there and not touch anyone.

rodgers can run 40 yards past people and somehow he cant be caught.

45second run offs

has anyone else in Germany had problems downloading this?
Got home late yesterday and it took over 200minutes so I couldn't play because I had to get up early -.-

# 560 dust247 @ 08/10/11 05:31 AM

Just played 2 games and here are some of my thoughts:

- I don't always feel in control of my defensive players. It feels like I'm watching the CPU play the CPU on some plays.

- The CPU quick snapping the ball is frustrating when you're trying to set up your defense.

- This has been an issue in almost every football game I've played, but why is it when the CPU does a hurry up offense the ball and players are all set up instantly, but when I go to run a hurry up offense, it takes 10x longer?

- The camera view on kickoffs and field goals are going to take some getting use to. On field goals, the kicks appear to be weak because of the camera view, but maybe thats to add some drama.
