after reading the impressions here, I pre-ordered Madden, unfortunately they ran out of codes and they told me to check back on Friday (not holding my breath).

so just to clarify, this game punishes you for using the same plays over and over and rewards you for mixing up the play calling?

and with the slower speed you can actually see the holes develop on a run play and the routes on a pass play?

and there is actually a pocket formed on passing plays? and playing defense is a lot more controllable ?
please correct me if I'm wrong

I usually prefer NCAA over Madden so I hope Madden knocks my socks off this year.

I would say yes (to a degree) to all of the above. But nobody really knows how effective the AI adaptation is.

The slower speed does help you read plays much faster and play defense. Defense is a lot easier because of the extra weight each player has this year.

The pocket is still not right imo. Yes a pocket gets formed but since the speed rush around the end without engaging the OT doesn't exist, it still has a major flaw. But it is better.

thanks for the info Rudy

I don't really like pre ordering games but I really want to play the five minute quarters so I can make a better decision, but they ran out, stupid gamestop and EA exclusive crap

I must say I don't like the playcall screen that much. I prefer the 4 play screen in NCAA.

You could have pre-ordered online, arranged for in store pickup and the demo code would have been emailed to you.

Just a heads up!
