This is actually my first madden game in a while, so I have to catch up. But I've notice the game plays better on slow or very slow game speed.

They also should talk about the Playoff picture and mvp races as you get late into your season.

I'd like them to do something similar to NHL - tell me what each team was doing well and more specifically what they could do better. On top of that, tell me how to do that better... more Man coverage, double team player X, etc. The half-time show I saw was not impressive but the lack of real gameplay highlights might just be because it's the demo, I have no idea.

This is very true...we all want a perfect football game but everyones opinion of perfect is different.

Personally, my biggest thing is on the field action, presentation and commentary is fine and dandy but I want it to look and play like a football game. That starts with fixing the running and way players move and interact with each. I am excited that they are finally going to focus on OL/DL interaction and address the running on skates issue thats been inherent in Madden since day 1. If they fix these two things and leave everything as is with a few tweaks here and there I will be satisfied.

Of course the infinity engine is going to have some glitches, some rag dolling but real physics is a great start. I played backbreaker which was a horrible game but when you ran the ball when the physics kicked in the way it was supposed it was a thing of beauty. The contact and fight for the extra yard was very realistic but those moments were too far and between so lets hope that infinity has more of the perfect moments instead of the silly.

PS3 demo is live according to Playstation's twitter account.

Holy crap. First thing I noticed soon as I started, this game is SO smooth compared to previous years.

The infinity engine just makes this game so much better.

Only have time to play a quater but those are the first things I noticed. Will get better impressions later.

Gameplay is great, but overall I need more presentation aspects and a true broadcast style presentation. There was a key element in 2K's camera's that EA just hasn't captured yet. The overall emotion in Madden is lacking as well, most of the cut scenes, feel like they were planted, there is no flow to them and that's where some of the problems begin, and the games package begins to unravel and you lose the authenticity of an NFL broadcast.

Played two games and had a DPI called against the cpu during the second game. It was called on the MLB covering my TE on a curl route over the middle.
