I didn't say it did.

I am saying, I don't understand why people are surprised this happens when the developer of the game told us it was going to.

Demos tell you nothing. How can we be guaranteed that sliders and penalties work in such a short demo. Rent this game first people. And try to avoid getting caught up in the hype machine. Stay away from any threads that say "This feature is SICK!"

I just wish EA would offer me the option to download the entire game for 5 days for $5 and if I wanted to purchase the entire game, I would just give them the remaining $55.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

God this demo is amazing... Graphics are sweet and the gameplay is really good. I have to give special props to Ian and the team for balancing the breakout system almost perfectly. I am so pumped for this game!!! This demo will get some heavy rotation as this game is awesome.

That being said, am I the only one who is having trouble breaking tackles with Jacobs? I think his two major strong points are speed (for his size) and trucking. I cant seem to get many stiff arms off, especially a stiff arm breakout. Any one know what I should do to break tackles with this guy? I didn't think spinning was his thing, but I could be wrong....

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

A couple of things. I noticed a couple people mentioned DB's making superhuman plays and all of them running towards where the ball was thrown. I haven't seen that yet. I'm wondering if the IQ plays a part in that or not on the demo, because thus far passing has been pleasantly suprising. You can't throw acuately with any kind of consistency on the move, deep balls are done much better (including better QB animation-wind up- and WR catching in stride). Also, as for the DB with "eyes in the back of their head," as CB already stated this was a known issue. Plus, I'm pretty sure it's mainly an animation issue and NOT a gameplay one, as the DB's have seemed to make realistic plays on the ball thus far for me.

Sorry if this has been asked but, is the demo playing to your Madden IQ level or is it playing at Rookie or Pro?

You should try to press some of the face buttons like "A" and "B." they provide you with some really nice break tackle animations. (I'm loving powering out of tackles...feels really well done)
