Madden demo, nothing but positive.

Just finished playing the Madden Demo and wanted to touch on the upside of the gameplay.

Locomotion- love it and suspect this will add a whole new level of realism to the ratings system. For example Brandon Marshall will break more tackles than Teddy Ginny. Felix jones will cut quicker than Brandon Jacobs.

Dpad shifts- shakes things up and evens the playing field through simplifying adjustments. Also, it's more realistic because in the league you're limited to the amount of adjustments you can make prepay because of the play clock and communicating the changes to every player.

Gameflow- love it. I have things to do besides play madden all day. I can squeeze 3 games in in 90 min. Also, the offensive coordinator actually calls legit plays, if you don't like it, alter your game plan. Also, it adds a whole new level of realism when you take the play book out of the coordinators hand and implement your plays your self.

Kicking meter- no more out of bounds kick offs! It also makes it easier on new madden players.

Running game- Stick moves are back! And this time they are much improved. If you have the hand eye coordination as well as the vision, you can be the second coming of Barry Sanders.

All madden- it's a lot more realistic and less cheap. I'm an all pro player, but yet I was able to beat the jets 14-3 because All madden isn't a cheap fest this year. They have managed to make the play calls and adjustments a lot more challenging vs the CPU cheating you out of a well executed play. For example, there's a huge difference between playing your nephew at chess and playing Bobby Fisher. You have to think more when playing Bobby.

All in all, this review is designed to point out the positive's vs the negatives. I hope this helps.
