Madden Demo Impressions

The demo is out for XBox Live Gold people (1 minute quarters). You can only have one demo on your system. I think you can change the difficulty but not the game speed on the demo. No commentary in the demo either. Game feels much slower on default than NCAA which some people like and others don't.

Squib kicks are in Madden. The game can go to OT. Speed of the game and slower pass speeds are certainly causing an adjustment. Presentation is a lot better despite the fact the demo is missing commentary. Graphics are said to be really good. People are LOVING the running game. Some are complaining about a lack of pass rush but Ian sad that was tweaked after the demo build. Some questionable AI decisions (not calling time outs to stop clock, etc.) that should be fixed for retail. Route running looks to be a big factor for receivers.

Suction blocking a concern for some. When playing as a DL do not use sprint apparently. Just using the r-stick moves is a lot better apparently.

Footballfanatic and others on OS said the game feels nothing like NCAA. This might be a good or bad thing for people (probably good for me!).

The 5 minute demo has accelerated clock so it's a bit of a lie that you get a lot more time with the game. Although the 1 minute games may have it (not sure). You may be able to download both demos on the same profile.

Apparently you can play with sliders but only before the game starts and not in game in the My skills section or something like that. Some have said that All Madden is MUCH harder than All Pro.

A couple guys are enjoying the 1 minute demo more than the 5 minute one (I think it's because they like the snow and/or are Giants/Cowboys fans).

Can't change the sub sliders so no access to cpu sliders in the demo I guess.

The defense chants are well done in Madden. Why didn't they just share those with the NCAA team?

Ian Cummings said the demo was near final. It should be pretty clean althought the pass rush tuning might not have made it. He was unsure.
