Gamespeed- is really slow and its annoying. Yes the gameplay needed to be slowed down but not this much its ridiculous. I dont feel like im playing with NFL players in a game this slow Player Models- NCAA player models are leaps and bounds ahead of madden.. the player models look last gen but in HD.. Locomotion- NCAA feels much mure fluid it can be due to game speed but idk Animations- NCAA>... Gang tackles, broken tackles, catch animation. You name it they all look better in NCAA

Agree completely. What does Ian and gang think they are doing? Jeez...

The Colts drove down but I was able to get to Manning with around 30 seconds to go on a key 3rd down from my 40 yard line. After that, they had to try and heave one deep and get out of bounds, but Revis knocked the pass away from Gonzalez. I like the new OT rules.

interesting.

someone else had a game go into OT..kicked a FG..game over...no new OT rules in effect in his game.

he started a thread on it

thats what I was expecting to happen, that I would be declared the winner after my field goal, even moreso with Gus saying that I had indeed won. But I was taken back to the play call menu where I kicked off and the Colts had their chance.

Pretty entertaining. Love shutting down Peyton Manning.

I gotta say, aside from the audio, which is clearly somewhat messed up in the demo, I'm loving this game more everytime I play it. Player models look and move great, most, if not all, of the animations are completely improved, and the graphics look VERY good with the improved lighting.

August 10 is going to be a good day for me

Couple more impressions after playing some more games:

1. Why does the air horn sound after kickoffs? That got annoying really quick.

2. The game is unbalanced towards offense. In about 23 plays my last game, I scored 24 points with the Jets. I really hope the sliders can even that out a bit. That would be a 48-56 point game if we had a full game of 50+ plays.

The Jets sound an air horn in real life after each kickoff by them.

After a few demo games, I've decided to skip on Madden for the first time since I can remember. The lack of multiple hit tackles, the boring presentation, and the eyesore of players warping all over the place just sucks the life out of the experience for me. I feel like the chess match of Madden is a thing of the past.

Passes are still always on the money, and the game compensates by having DBs drop INT's. Problems that have plagued the game for the entire life of the franchise on next gen still exist. This game doesn't feel like they put in a full cycle of work in.

The last 2 sports games I really got into were MLB The Show and PES, and Madden just doesn't meet that level of quality, unpredictability, and immersion.
