how old was the demo was it pre E3 bulid??

 

[bleacherbum54]

IM glad they revamped franchise I haven't bought the game because of that and poor game play. I love the new tackling engine but it isn't 2k but it is much improved than previous years.

 

[daddies3angels]

i didnt like the speed of the game. Went really fast to me. Also i missed 3 field goals..have to learn how to kick. they have changed that 3 straight years now

You can change game speed in the settings menu.

Ya i hated the demo until I changed the game speed to slow and speed differential to 25. My biggest grip is speed isnt shown. I returned a punt in the demo with Hester only to be run down by John Kuhns that is BS.After i made a slider set the game play much more realistic and enjoyable.



and am gonna buy season ticket simply as a rental tool. IF I like Madden I will buy it but if i dont I wont. If you think about it the season ticket is cheap to rent 5 gms for 3 nights each is around $25 so it pays for itself.

Haha John Kuhn is an idiot in my demo. First game I played, he had 4 holding penalties.

Thanks will have to do that then ...i also noticed that slower guys were catching fast guys also.

Yeah, definitely have to play around with the sliders to get it to your liking. I first played it and the D-linemen were in the backfield as soon as I handed the ball off.

 

[daddies3angels]

i know one thing for sure. Im going to miss Olsen in Madden. LB could never keep up with him. He was my favorite target

For sure. He bailed me out plenty of times when I was under pressure.

I used him on the streak play on 3rd and longs alot

Ya that frustrated the hell out of me and I dont play on all madden because it is just crazy hard. But tinkering with things is a must if you want a more realistic game. I hate when DEs like Cullan Jenkings can catch Matt Forte easy that is just un realistic.

It still isnt 2k football but it is playable and enjoyable. If they have a great franchise mode like they say they do I will be buying Madden for the 1st time in 5+ years.

 

[Uman85]

All-Madden isn't as hard as it has been in the past. I've played on that difficulty twice and won both times. 9-3 and 21-3.

 

[daddies3angels]

im assuming with new tackle system its harder to break tackles?

 

[bleacherbum54]

All-Madden isn't as hard as it has been in the past. I've played on that difficulty twice and won both times. 9-3 and 21-3.

It is hard for me I get smoked but I havent played madden much ever. I normaly rent it but never buy.

 

[daddies3angels]

i usually play all madden also...just playing all pro on demo... i have noticed i seem to run the ball better on demo so far..usually i can dominate in the passing game but CPU seems smarter

Overall the AI is much smarter. The DBs recognize routes better and LBs adjust to audibles quickly. Almost too good sometimes. Lol

LOL, same here. I'm screwed when the rosters get updated.

you could always create a new roster file and put Olsen back on roster...
