It works fine the other way around, though, because I sacked Cutler about 6 times one game and it made him paranoid and trigger happy.

(yet never once did the DPP give him a boost) sorry but whats the DPP again?

sorry folks, but super linebackers are back. twice in a row, urlacher jumped to the point that his waist line was equal to that of the heads of the players around him. so it should be clear at this point that this is a problem that ea just doesn't see fit to address. it amazes me, that at no point during their year of development did someone see an occurrence of this and say, "hey guys, that doesn't look true to the game." how a company can devise the motto "true to the game" yet let something this ridiculous slip through the cracks is just funny at this point. so besides my enjoyment of the demo, i will be skipping the game due to this cheap and frustrating mechanic.

on a positive note, i didn't notice any issues with psychic DBs. that doesn't mean they aren't there, though. but from the plays i went into replay with, the DB play seemed pretty solid. they don't mirror routes anymore and i had one instance of a safety overrunning the landing zone of the ball allowing jennings to make the reception. and of course, jennings put the team on his back. lol.

It's hard to keep up with the speed of the replays. 2. The replays are way to short. We should be able to watch a replay from start to finish no matter how long of a play it is. I will post more immpressions later as i play more games. So far though this is the year for MADDEN

OK I'm not trying to be a dick or have any kind of agenda or anything, I'm just looking for an honest answer. Why is it that people can say this is the best Madden ever before playing the full game and catch no flack for it, but the second someone says they won't be buying the full game because of the demo, they get hit with "dude it's just a demo calm down" or "dude's saying he won't like the full game before playing it. SMH"?

With 5 minute quarters. That doesn't seem wrong to you?

To me gameplay wise this is still the Madden we either love or dislike. I believe the tuning and adjustments to gameplay overall are a significant enough to consider purchasing Madden 12.

On top of everything Madden 12 really nailed the pacing this year. From play to play the game just transitions beautifully. In the years past I thought the game always moved in hyper speed from play to play. This year it just feels right how from camera cuts, quarter changes, replays, etc; it just feels good.

Did anyone feel this way?
