As I was reading your post regarding Post Game replays/Highlights I accidently his a button and screwed it up so i can't say for sure. As I hit the button there was a highlight of a play but I cant say for sure what was coming next.

Just lost a close one on 7 min All Pro C-Boys vs Skins. I was picked off 5 times yes 5 times by the Skins D and 4 were my fault by trying to force the issue.

The Skins tried to jam the ball down my throat by running mostly. Helu Jr ran the ball 24 times and RGIII 5 for 53 yrds.

I ended up losing 7-9 which felt to good to have a low scoring defensive battle of a game.

Of course I'm gonna show the game since its new but I think its a solid to high 8. That could change depending on the online exp.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but sacks/assist are not being recording correctly.???

Wait wait...the sacks/assisted tackles aren't being recorded in the game?! How is that even possible? Does this include offline franchises?

I guess a patch is already needed official launch day...

meh..was my first impression

The assisted tackles issue has been mentioned numerous times. However the sacks thing is fairly new. If you check out ryno's Q&A thread you'll see his post with end of season stats. I noted that sacks seem to be very low (13 was the most for a single player) which might be attributed to them not recording correctly. Big issue IMO and hurts the value of CCM since it relies entirely on stats.

First bad thing I've experienced: I'm winning 31-27, after I scored I kicked it off, touchback. It's at the 20. They run the ball 3 times and game over. WTF? I would think they'd throw the ball and try to win..

# 1526 RubenDouglas @ 08/22/12 04:23 AM

4th quarter, 2 minutes remaining. CPU down 3. Their ball.. They drive down the field to get in FG range... call a TO with 5 seconds.. Then run the ball

. CPU hates FGs apparently

This will be the 2nd or 3rd time I have seen the CPU mess up... I honestly don't know where to go from here.. It's a bit of a deal breaker

# 1527 DJT @ 08/22/12 04:24 AM

This new collision system is pretty good, SOMETIMES.

I have found that way too often the ball carrier will literally hit a defender or linemen and bounce off them and fall down several yards away. I don't see this happen in real life.

Also players are tripping over players a ton.

And are the seahawks uni's gray or white??

The computer plays smart against me. They even went for 2 to tie the game.

There are hot routes in demo....
Up on d-PAD (Unless you have the option on in settings and then you can use Y (Or triangle for PS3) also

Edit: Seen you already realized that

# 1529 ch46647 @ 08/22/12 10:21 AM

Two questions for you Flight..

1. In the demo, when the CPU goes no huddle the defensive alignment gets thrown way off. DB's and LB's in coverage are sometimes lined up on the completely opposite side of the field from who they should be covering. Are you seeing this?

2. Has the late game AI been adjusted so the CPU is not running the ball in situations they should be passing or vice versa? This was very prevelant in the demo.

Both those issue would be huge concerns if they made there way in to the retail version.

Thanks!

# 1530 ChicagoChris @ 08/22/12 10:41 AM

I really like the demo. There are weird bugs but its a demo. Ex. Brought in Russell Wilson and Phil talked about how long he has been in the league.

Also, saw a penalty for "illegal touching". Overall, love what I see (thought m11 and m12 were uninspiring). Looking forward to next Tuesday.

BTW, anyone seen any blocked kicks? (FG or punts). For the 10th year, i was hoping that they'd stop ignoring special teams.

# 1531 Falconsfan21 @ 08/22/12 11:05 AM

i notice when i put it on slow game speed. the computer is more challenging at times. Which i like lol. Because on normal speed i would just stomp opponents (suh style lol). i cant wait to get my hands on the full game. playing as the 49ers/giants and seahwawks/redskins gets a lil boring.

I've seen this couple of times, it has to have been spotted and fixed for retail version. However i have yet to see it on ALL MADDEN with the CPU also set to 25 as sliders. (this is on sliders page, think its the Fox All madden sliders Set). Computer plays much better/intelligent.

An example, I was down by 6 with the 2 mins remaining and 3 timeouts. CPU had the ball. On M11 and M12 you would stack the box, CPU would run the ball and you would get the ball back and have a chance.

Now they will try catch you out with pass/toss play to gain the 10 yrds.

Lost the game as CPU ran out the clock. Loved it.

# 1533 Alistair @ 08/22/12 12:18 PM

Is there a thread for bugs and problems, or are we just posting them all in here? Here are a few that I picked up during my first run-through of the demo.

I am playing with the 49ers and complete a pass for a first down late in the first half. The player fumbles and the Giants recover. The announcers say, "The coach isn't happy with that and throws the red flag on to the field" - even though it was an automated booth review inside two minutes.

When the referee emerges to announce the outcome, his lips move but there is no sound (REALLY EA, REALLY?)

Finally, when the announcers say the play has been overturned as my receiver was down before the ball popped out, the crowd starts to boo - even though I am playing in San Francisco.

Are you serious EA? These better not be in the final game...

---EDIT---

Also, Manning just spiked the ball to stop the clock and the commentators started talking about what a bad throw it was. Are you ****ting me EA?

Not sure about PS3 but I was prompted for an update on Xbox 360

Mark Sanchez might be the worst qb on the game. The Jets D is very tough to run on

Will be on in a few hours

Currently playing my C-Boys vs Denver and after somewhat bashing the lack of dirty unis I can say both teams are a mess at the half. Guys arms are covered in chalk from the chalk lines on there arms and couple that with the dirty unis it looks awesome

I really hope this is true, but you said the same exact thing last year, and there was nary a difference from that demo and retail madden 12. But I realize its your opinion and I hope I agree with you come Tuesday.

So glad that you understand that it is a "Personal Opinion" I'm sure once it releases some will agree and some won't. My advice to you is don't pay attention to my impressions and wait for others???

Currently playing the Bengals and AD & crew is shredding me apart.

Just trying to keep you guys entertained. If you had it I would be saying the same, Lol

On a side note make sure you guys DL'd the rosters/tuner set and at least give it a try and I say this because I mistakenly deleted my set/tuner and the game played like the demo it seemed. Guys were falling all over at a crazy pace. I re-installed it and its toned done again so it may be something to the Roster/Tuner set or even the patch. Hell who knows

Attachment 48636

This is what makes my jaw drop graphically about this game. Austin has the catch right??

Attachment 48637

Mays hits him first at full speed and his momentum jars the ball loose and at the same time Hall gets the brunt of the blow. Infinity Engine maybe??

Attachment 48638

At the end of the day this game is exceeded my expectations by a huge margin. I thought NCAA 13 was good for what I look for in a game but after playing this. Ncaa got shafted big time. Some are gonna agree and some are gonna say I'm crazy and this is the same old stuff from EA

I do believe the online portion will make for some Banging A(( Battles . Ok I'm done with the pics. Just was trying to keep those who were interested entertained.
