And also it depends how far behind the CPU were. More than 8 there's no point returning it.

The DEFENSE chant in Madden sounds 100x better than NCAA.

I know you can't get the demo in your country (or something to that effect), but take this thread and the posts therein for what they are: impressions. As you can see, you're getting varied opinions on similar aspects of the game and some even appears to be agenda driven. I'm using the opinions here simply as a vehicle to get me through the day 'til I get my own claws on it.

Exactly. Same with people talking about missing CPU sliders as if they won't be present on 8/14. At least clarify so that people don't get in a tizzy.

One thing I've never understood when it comes to cpu controlled players on a human controlled team. I know all-Madden should be more challenging than all-pro but, if Justin Tuck or Osi or whomever is infinitely better than the man he's lined up against and he's not double teamed shouldn't he win more battles based on his skill set and ratings? I know everything can be ironed out with sliders but if someone is better than someone else shouldn't the game reflect that?

I know there are people that are just fantastic on the sticks (stick jockeys) but the higher levels should have every bit as much to do with play calling, setting up favorable match ups/mismatches, reading coverages, etc. Not well we gotta make it harder so let's have a 68 rated offensive lineman stone wall Reggie White every play.

I agree some people look for unreasonable amounts of pressures/sacks but, I want to know that when I play as or against premier players that they play as they would IRL regardless of whether or not I'm controlling them.

Totally agree. Hopefully Madden 10 gets us closer to that.

I read most of the posts here. Most are pleased with their demos, not too many bashing. Some say their is suction blocking, tackling, etc. This is definitely a gamebreaker for me. Also, rocket catching.

Once and for all, is there suction blocking and tackling or not? Can at least 5 people who tried the demo honestly say that it's gone, for good? Or is it still there? Is that rocket catching still there?

Yes! I have seen that a few times already. Big ben getting sacked but able to get out a woonded duck! Very nice!

I'm still reading through the impressions so forgive me if this has been asked, but is Player Lock in the game?

I love this feature since I discovered it in the NCAA Demo...

Thanks.

First, I didn't know it was available on the 360, so I imagine it would come out on the PS3 later today as well.

Second, the devs have nothing to do with the release of the demo, thats MS/Sony's doing.

Is this illegal? I thought demos can't be sold and such.
 
# 198 MJKiehl680 @ 07/23/09 09:29 AM
Buying that would be pointless it only cost $5 to preorder it and by the time you get it the demo in the market place will be available
 
# 199 DGuinta1 @ 07/23/09 09:30 AM
Damn fighting for the fumble, have to press y then a then y...lol Not as cheesy as I thought.

My Take: AWESOME!!! To think that this is just a demo.

Graphics, available plays, gameplay, presentation all of it was great. It really feels like a thinking man's game. I played both the CPU and my neighbor. Both games were really good. Yes, it is slower. I like that because now you can see things developing. The game has a more organic feel to it. It feels like they're humans on the field and not robots. Now, it seems you have to have a strategy - whether on offense or defense.

Great, great job Ian and the crew. You all put tons of work into it and it shows. I can't wait to see what the full game is like. Of course it's not perfect. However, as my neighbor said, we will be wear the game out. I think my 360 will burn a hole through that DVD.

My only request to the Madden team: may I please sack the quarterback some times or get pressure on him - LOL! Seriously though, it seemed extremely hard to get to Ben.

Finally, if any one has any questions, I'll be glad to answer them or look out for them when I play again this afternoon. Just type "@ZoneBlitz" if you want me to answer them.
