    agreed. While i feel like its basically identical to ncaa....obviously ncaa and nfl football are 2 different styles of football....but the 2 games play the same at their core. Playing the games is what i care about most and i love playing ncaa. I think with sliders that this game can give us the best football experience we have seen for madden thus far

    i hope the outrage over the strategy pad can force EA to make a release day patch to use the old controls

      I like Gameflow a lot on offense. I use ask madden anyway so this just makes everything smoother. Id never use it on defense though. No way am i trusting the CPU to call my defense plays. I dont see me playing much of offline franchise though. On all madden i was able to score at will.

        I'll have to try out this gameflow but i like to call all my own plays on offense and defense, so i hope its something that can work properly.

                  Alright, just played my game on the demo. Keep in mind I have never played NCAA this year. Didnt play with GameFlow either.

                  -Not sure how I feel about players always sprinting....I know I'll probably end up getting used to it, but it just seems like everyone is skating around on the grass.

                  -The strategy pad isnt AS bad as everyone is making it out to be, its pretty easy to navigate. I would still prefer the old way

                  -CPU seemed to break a lot of tackles on All-pro, including Jericho Cotchery breaking 6 tackles on a little screen pass that he broke off for 79 yards to beat me. Meh

                  -I loved running the ball. If you are able to be patient(its kinda hard with auto-sprint) holes do open up and you can get some solid runs

                  -Tried press coverage one time, and Holmes burned whoever the Colts DB was by 15 fucking yards and scored a bomb. didnt try it again

                  -I tried play action off and on with mixed results. Sometimes it would work like a charm, other times id have people in my face in the backfield and it was a fail. Dont see a problem with that

                  -CPU pass rush was pretty legit, but could have a lot to do with the jets scheme/ratings on D

                  -overall, I like the game. I think it will be very enjoyable once it comes out and some good settings are discovered. I know im gunna end up playing the fuck out of it.

                      Didn't they take run/pass commit out of madden after madden 09?

                            im with the above poster who said they'd trust gameflow for offense but not defense.


                            Im pleasantly surprised with demo, i dont like that LBs are still superjumping to pick off passes and running stride for stride with WRs 30 yds downfield and swatting down passes.

                              It was said that they put it back in.

                              Maybe I'm wrong.

                                random note

                                if you go to OT and it remains tied, it'll restart OT and keep going.

                                I just missed wide a 53 yarder for the win, left 1 second on the clock. Manning bombed it to Wayne and caught it, i stopped him at the one not caring expecting a tie. Then all of a sudden the clock said 5:00 and they were kicking a FG? lol.
