I was in a pro-tak tackle, and to my surprise, the ref blew the whistle because his forward progress was stopped.

The thing I'm most impressed with is the lighting. I've never liked the way sports games look at night. This is the first time that a night game looked real to me. I also love the speed of the game.

My impression from the demo:

Matt Leinart Sucks!!! Kurt got a concussion early in the 2nd qtr and it just went downhill from there. Game plays good though IMO.

I had a tough time running the ball in the one game I've played so far...Longest rush was about 5-6 yards but I couldn't have averaged more than 3. I loved the passing game though, felt much improved.

love everthing but the play call screen, feels like the old days...

The game play feels great and the moment seems spot on in most cases, very good so far.

I enjoyed the demo. Gameplay is much improved.

I need to play it some more to critique that slow speed though. I had a dive for a first down that felt like I was on the moon. It seems the animations will be better in a faster speed.

I felt helpless on an onside kick that they recovered. Odd.

Loved the presentation stuff.

I cant buy the "real" demo on PSN? The only way is a pre order?

Things that bothered me:

-Suction blocking is back and there is almost no way to avoid it.
-The extra point kicks are so fast that you don't have any time to select a player in an attempt to block.

Things that I liked:

+ Presentation looks much better.
+ The slower speed feels more sim.

Hats off to EA Sports. This is the most realistic football game since 2K5. I really like how they slowed down the game play. It feels a lot more like real football. I'm playing it on the PS3, so yes it is now available. Yes it does have some glitches, but it is only a demo. The only thing that I don't really like is if you are throwing on the run the animations are off. In 2K5 if you throw on the run the QB will throw off of the wrong foot and it looks beautiful, but this still looks robotic. Anyways, this is going to be a great game and I would recommend buying it. Even to the 2K5 loyalists like myself. It's a lot of fun.

I just played a game and a half on the ps3. WOW, what a difference speed makes. Although I agree with a lot of people that the speed feels very slow, I can't get over how much more control I feel like I have. I feel like a total noob for saying this, but on defense I actually know what the player I am controlling is doing. This has been one of my biggest issues with the "next gen" game since forever, and it feels that EA has finally got it down.

I am crossing my fingers, but defense might just be a factor this year. Well done Ian.

Instead of gang tackling some players will once again fall (exploding animations) down or off instead of assisting with the tackle. CB and SF still seem to know where the ball is at all times and can sometimes morph over to bat the ball down. Just alot of stuff that was wrong with 09 is in 10.

Graphics are just ok (Cut sceens are very nice graphically) and the running animations is very very weird. Their legs don't go with their upper body movement.

Bottom-line, Ian stated this is very close to the final build. So it is highly unlikely we will see all of this new stuff we were feed. Oh, it will be in M11 ha
Really?

You didn't need to download the demo and play it. You could have just substituted one of your post from the past with your posts from today and just took out the word demo.

My impressions.

So much better than 09. Pocket forming, realistic qb animations, better passing, no more robo QB, slower game play.

Very impressive.

I am liking the speed so far. the game just feel 100% different from past next gen maddens and that is actually a good thing. 06-09 were lackluster at best. I actually am pretty excited about this years game so far from playing the demo.
 
# 658 clarkboy @ 07/23/09 05:56 PM
Oline AI is still out of wack. At the snap I had my RT just turn and run back to the QB, while disregarding the blitzing LB right in front of him. Hopefully this is something they fixed in the final build. His actions made no sense. Absolutely no reason for him to turn his back to the LOS .

i just won an overtime thriller with the steelers using custom sliders. (between all-pro and all-madden) hit parker on a wheel route and he took it to the house. i looked at the replay several times - i think the running animations are tons better this year. in fact, i don't really have anything negative to say about them anymore. nice to know i won't have to "wait til next year" for better running animations.

btw, i have to say that the armpit hair is starting to disturb me. i know "if it's in the game." but still. wtf? lol.

Yeah, not feeling the playcall screen either. Way too stripped down. I hate having to pause for replays now. I understand what they tried to do with it, but next year I think they should try a different approach (like the one I suggested, lol).

And just the fact that the playcall screen comes up and covers up the post-play stuff is just annoying.
