I think it only works for the secondary (if that). Try maybe doing the individual adjustments? Or just aligning them yourself.

Problem w/ aligning them myself is

1) CPU Quick snaps
2) New camera angle so I get like 5 less sec to do it

Yeah, I'd try the individual thing first. There's still enough time to do it yourself if there's only one player you gotta do.

Just played a game on All-Pro with Bears on PS3. I won a game with a FG in the last secs. It was 10-3 and I had the lead. Aaron Rodgers DPP turned on Clutch and he marched down the field and scored on a pass play to Jennings. I had to march down the field with 1:32. I had a couple passes to Olsen. I hit a FG with no time left.
I really enjoy the game. DPP really works . I dont see as many cut blocks as I do in NCAA

Has anyone played a game where the CPU had a rushing attack?

id love and hope to see strawberries on players when they play on the artificial grass. i also love the fact that players get chalk from the sideline on them if they are hit on it. very nice touch. it does add to the realism of the sunday afternoon league. i also love the run blocking in the game. i had a tough 115 yrds with grant on 22 carries and his last touchdown (only) he had a 5 yrd run through the heart of the bears d as he was met by brian who sheded a block and lunged from my blind spot. i lowered my shoulder and absorbed the hit and stumbled the last two and a half by bouncing off my gaurd who was blocking they're de who was trying to grab at me as i was stumbling toward pay dirt! and when he got in he started doing the kick in the door celebration and yelling/smiling at the bears crowd..very realistic. and i also audibled on a deep pass the first play of the game to jennings and that felt very realistic as well..they're safety bit on the pump fake as tillman played zone though he had help over top but the te also had a deep route so the safety for the bears was in no-mans land and couldnt cover both. it was nice to see aaron do his champ pose after the score!

I was pumped about this game too when I first played the demo. I even bought the season pass to get it early...well that and NHL, but man..this game has issues. Now im not too worried as its confirmed this demo build was before the build played at E3. Anyways, I was playing last night and was using GB, Bears had me pinned on my 2. Was 2nd and goal, Cutler gets the ball..my D was nowheres he had a CLEAR walk didnt even have to run into the endzone and he throws it out of bounds. I was like alright whatever. Next play..once again hes WIDE open for the easy walk in the endzone.. and he throws the ball into coverage I pick it off and return it for 6. If this happened in real life he would be benched forever because it was that obvious of what the AI should of did.

Iv seen bad AI but this was unacceptable. Sorry I dont have a video, but like I said, its confirmed this is a early build, so until I play the full game im not to worried. Also it was on all-pro.

LOL. Devin Hester is one of the fastest players in the league. No way Matthews should be able to keep up with him.

Yes. I played a game in which I couldn't stop Forte to save my life, especially in the second half.

# 871 Clinton56 @ 08/13/11 06:23 PM

first time in a long time where the passing game is so fluid the Wrs runs routes perfectly,the Ol/Dl interaction is on point.presentation is detailed.If the games slider work like designed this might be the best madden ive played and ive been playing since day one,yea im old lol,but young at heart baby!

# 872 illwill10 @ 08/13/11 06:25 PM

Playing with Cutler and Rodgers. Cutler has a slower release, got sacked alot of times. Which is a good thing. In NCAA, all QBs basically had the same quick release. So, they avoided alot of sacks. With Alot of QBs having slower release, it will cause more sacks.
I think Madden OL/DL Interaction is better than NCAA. There isnt as much Cut/leg blocks and not as much sliding. It is kinda hard to get sacks with the amount of low blocks and sliding and quick release in NCAA. I seen more sucess on Blitzes in Madden Demo, with less Sliding. One play in NCAA, My RE was able to get by the OT, I started to pursue the QB. A RG just pushed down a DT; once I pressed Turbo, the RG automatically started to slide to my direction. He slid very quickly and got to me right before I got to the QB, His legs didnt even move

That is one thing I absolutely hate about EA Football games. As soon as someone picks up a fumble, they seem to get a 20+ increase to their speed. No matter who it is. 9/10 fumbles seem to go for TDs.

# 874 Johns Jets @ 08/13/11 06:52 PM

Had a game earlier where I just could not stop Rodgers. It was okay at first, that happens but when it got to the end of the third quarter and he had 100% completions, like 25/25 it seemed a bit ridiculous. Now I know I'm not the best Madden player but to be so absolutely dominated like that when I'm at least calling the correct packages is a bit concerning. Also, they only called one run but I guess you could argue that when the passing game is working like that why should they call more?

Yeah, that's certainly one way to look at it and I agree in principle but I was a bit worried that there was nothing I could do to stop him, on all-pro too. I don't mind this kind of things happening a bit but everything I tried he seemed to find the perfect get out for, blitzes, zone, man, everything. You'd have thought at least one of those attempts might have been off.

I realise that GB are obviously the best team in the game and the Bears aren't and also that I'm new to the game and all that stuff but if you'd have seen it you'd have also thought it was getting a bit silly after a while.

# 876 Tyrant8RDFL @ 08/13/11 07:27 PM

Here is my 3rd impression, and yes it has changed.

I mentioned that the game just did not feel right. Controls felt off, and animations looked sloppy. I just could not get into it.

Well I discovered why, and this may even help others, as a matter of fact it will.

I bought a Vizio 42" 3D TV, and have been experiencing HDTV game lag. I noticed it big time on black ops, but not really on my other titles. Well that is what I thought

I have been researching so many articles in reference to this issue, and all pretty much mentioned what I have tried already. Well thank God as I was just about to give up one article nailed it, and has brought glory back to my gaming world.

Not to drag this on any further. I had to match what the games resolution was made for ,and have the XBOX at the same setting, and that is 720p. Man that made a huge difference. Now I'm back at beasting in COD , and Madden played very fluid.

Now I see what others have mentioned, and I'm enjoying the demo much more.

Anyone having HDTV lag please give what I mentioned a shot. It really helped me out.

I saw a couple of cool litle details in the demo last night. I'm playing as GB, I'm running an out route/ streak combo. I threw to the out route guy, and as my wr turned upfield, my streak wr turned into a blocker and cut off the cb, freeing me for a TD.

Next, I intercepted Cutler(big suprize-

), and I turned to run it the other way. A CHI wr, I think it was Knox, jumped on my back and tried twice to rip the ball out as I was being tackled. I had to watch the repaly to be sure.

It's not perfect, but it feels alot better than the past few years editions.

Thats my demo impressions, taking advantage of that HD PVR!

I haven't done madden since 09 but this demo got me hyped and I pre-ordered right after I played it

Well that's VERY encouraging.

# 880 Equinox831 @ 08/13/11 08:14 PM

Is it just me, or is this game pretty difficult? I've played maybe 10 or so games and I've won 3 with the Bears..
