Damn. I guess EA didn't get the memo.

I would like to believe this will be fixed in the final version.

Like the new physics. I like the new sound, more like a real game. But...WHERE are the classic controls??? The developers said both games, NCAA and Madden, would have the same controls. That is hard to do when Madden only has the strategy pad controls. Sure, pumping up the crowd and kicking are now the same. I mean, these guys at Tiburon must realize that people who haven't bought the game in years are going to get the game due to the new physics engine. They have to realize that just like when it was first introduced, many won't like the strategy pad, me included. I really hope this is just for the demo.

Actually we are all wrong. Each team only gets a possession if the team that gets the ball to start ot doesn't score.

So if they score on the first drive the game is over.

If first team to score just kicks a Field Goal the opposing team gets an opportunity to possess the ball. If first team score touchdown game is over. This applies to both regular season and playoff games now.

Just played another game of demo and this is the first time I can say the demo isn't getting old fast.

LIKE: I like the new engine for the most part. The commentary is vastly improved so far as I can see from the demo. The crowd is exceptionally better. The presentation is a lot more inviting than before. Pile-ups are nice. I like how running up the middle works with guys stumbling and what not. As long as it's not too over done it's a nice addition, but as far as I could see it worked well. The Broncos weren't in it so that is also something to like. I don't like them.

DID NOT LIKE: The coaches are some of the fugliest looking creatures I've ever seen in my life. I would almost rather not see their nasty faces when I play the game. The jersey colors are a little off it seems (particularly the Seahawks uniforms). They are almost grey and can hardly tell the difference of which team is which when I return the ball. The only thing I can do is run away from the people that are running toward me. Sometimes the engine is a little wacky, but that's to be expected. I think that can be patched. The AI play-calling is a little stoogy at times but I think I can fix that with some sliders kicked in.

OVERALL: I have really enjoyed the demo. I'm excited to use the Chiefs and get in on some CCM. I really think the game came out pretty great and it showed a lot of promise. Hopefully the lighting gets touched up on; I don't expect them to touch up the coaches faces at all. But who can blame them, they are so ugly they probably just gave up cause they were tired of looking at them.

I'll buy the game.

But is the demo is an exhibition game though correct? So it would not in fact apply to it? Who knows.

# 888 N51_rob @ 08/15/12 04:50 AM

Played with game speed a slow, and I like it a lot better. I can see things happening downfield, while still keeping my internal pocket clock in my head. It never fails, right about when I feel the pocket should be collapsing it usually is, and I am trying to get out of there with RGIII or find my check down to get the ball out of his hands.

Had a great read option run with him. Red Bryant came crashing in after Helu (JR) and I took off got two great down field block from Fred Davis and Santana Moss as they made a little alley for me, one with outside leverage one with inside so I ran between them and picked up 31 yards before stepping OOB to avoid a hit. Probably my favorite play thus far.

Defense is still boring, but I don't think anything is gonna change that this year.

# 889 WDOgF0reL1fe @ 08/15/12 04:57 AM

I didn't know hashtags worked on forums.

Ill try them out as soon as possible.

Anyway, the complaint I do have is that it is too fast. Slow mode was ok, ill try very slow next time.

i can only imagine all the funny infinity engine glitch videos that will come out

FOR THOSE ON XBOX WITHOUT XBOX LIVE GOLD THAT WANT THE DEMO

Not sure if this still works..but every xbox console is entitled to 3 gamer accounts that comes with 1 free month of xbox live gold.

What i use to do when i didnt have gold account at the time is make a new xbox live account on my xbox..which means a whole new account with new email, password, gamer tag,etc...after you do this..and you decline "buying" the gold membership and opt to stay with silver account..after you select that..you should be greeted on the next screen that you get 1 free month of xbox live gold.

Give it a try..remember you will need a new username, email account,etc before doing this..so go set up a email account at gmail, yahoo, hotmail,etc

I do NOT know if microsoft still does this though..but i know they have been doing this for years..each xbox console is entitled to 3 gamertag accounts with each account getting 1 free month of gold.

After playing the demo a bit more I've concluded one very obvious flaw... Passing is way too easy. In the very short quarters, I'm managing over 300 yards a game now with around 80% completions. The coverage is just bad. Curl routes are money just about every time I've ran them and the safeties might as well have concrete blocks tied to their shoes.

It's funny too because I usually play NCAA and you would think at the college level, passing would be much easier but man you can really shred the D through the air in this version of Madden. Wonder if they're working on this also.

# 893 DaSmerg @ 08/15/12 05:24 AM

Liked what I saw from the demo.

Oh so happy not to have to listen to Collinsworth anymore LoL!

For real, more positive steps in the right direction. Trying not to prejudge too much based on the demo as there are still some very familiar things...as in issues...from the past present in the demo.

On the demo itself, nice that we get to play a full 5 minute game with full sliders and most options to monkey around with. The game presentation is pretty cool and very modern.

Looking forward to early release to make final judgements.

# 894 Moegames @ 08/15/12 05:27 AM

I was NY playing the 9er's... close game all the way through until 3 minutes left in the game and Manning got picked off by the Computer controlled 49ers..as he ran the interception for the touchdown..around the 10 yard line as he was still running towards the endzone he raised his hand with a Number one finger up in the air as he approached the endzone..after he crossed a few other teammates ran up and celebrated with him jumping up and down and the crowed went crazy.....

Oh that was freaking awesome!!! ...even though that interception made me lose the game.

Another thing i saw were the tip toe sideline catches are much easier to do this year...its awesome to float the ball over a defender near the sideline and the receiver will position himself and slow down next to the sideline out of bounce line to reach up and snag the pass before falling out of bounce...a lot of little stuff that make a huge impact on this game.

I know there are things not on this demo that we have yet to see in terms of animations, cut scenes,etc...cant wait for the retail version.

So I know I'm EXTREMELY late but I just read up on the new connected career mode...

So basically there's no franchise mode and no superstar mode, they're both combined into this mode. You can either choose a player or a coach to go through their career with.

To control a team, you would have to select a coach, which would be similar to the franchise mode, maybe without some of the things like team relocation, player potential etc. When you choose a player, it's similar to superstar mode. Am I correct with these assessments?

Exactly...you can choose any real life player or coach, or create your own. Also there is a nice selection of legendary players and coaches you can choose to be.

This game looks all too cartoonish at his point. This is just too far into the series for it to look like this.

Also, the amount of quirky looking swatted passes was ridiculous which resulted in 3 interceptions where the ball was an inch off the ground. Way overdone there.

Someone asked was passing a bit too hard on All-Pro for anyone else. It does seem like the CPU defense was far too aggressive and intelligent in the secondary.

O-line blocking is just as stupid as it's always been.

And how is this Infinity Engine still allowing the SAME Madden tackle animations I've seen before. i.e the shot in the head animation when players collide for tackles?

Saw that quite a bit in my game. There just isn't much that peaked my interest to rush and buy this release. I will more than likely wait until September, but with a few other more interesting titles coming out, this may be yet ANOTHER year of simply no football for me at all.

Unbelievable.

# 898 secondsolution @ 08/15/12 05:45 AM

One thing I noticed that was in Madden 12 as well is when you are in man defence, the pre-play option will show that one player is covering the RB and one is covering the FB (or TE). However after the play starts they switch. Its really annoying as I play as a LB most of the time so I end up double covering someone and leaving the other wide open.

vernon davis drops every pass

We go from "awesome graphics" to "looks like N64"... It shouldnt be even questioned why there is no way to make everyone happy. Sheesh.... Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

lol I agree. I think it looks fantastic. I just don't get why others don't. But as always, its their opinion. Gotta respect it.
