At least that'll lessen my chances of having a heart attack due to this game.
That's all I've been playing on. I haven't done All-Pro yet. I think I'll give it a go after this game. Maybe Lynch won't beast mode the shit out of me as much.

who told you my secret!
I didnt come across any drops on All Pro. All Madden, my first 4 passes were drops. I just exited out and went back to all pro

we can test out human vs. human all madden. you know when you play the CPU they always bust out the bullshit but maybe some of this crap isn't there for human games. i wouldn't mind except for the drops :/
and i wouldn't even mind on some of the drops if my guy was actually getting hit but this wide open shit is ridiculous!
p.s.
god damn they rated ray macdonald a 92, justin smith a 98. so the front 7:
justin smith - 98
soap - 84
the mac - 92
brooks - 84
pwill - 99
bowman - 91
aldson smith - 89
mmm mmmm mmm
also, i think this demo must be a couple months old or so because there are some players missing that we signed. can anyone who played this AND the e3 version compare?
Just got a coverage sack of RG3 for a safety. I was playing MLB so the cpu did all the real work on the defensive line.
Edit: I just got called for PI on a play where I was playing MLB and blocked the WR with my body and the ball hit off me. That almost never got called in the past.

I got that as well, twice. My defensive players stayed lined up as they were on the the first play, despite everyone being on the complete opposite side of the field on the hurry up play (man coverage on both).
That's CK's fault, ban dline!

how much different are the graphics/gameplay from what you played @ e3
I feel like the character models look worse but it could be my imagination or my TV, I dunno.
I feel like they made some tweaks to the secondary AI. I think I was getting away with a lot more at E3. I'm still completing >60% of my passes but I've thrown a decent number of picks while attempting certain types of throws.
Could just be that E3 was on Pro and I've been playing on All Pro.
Overall I'm enjoying the new passing system a lot. When I get picked off or throw an incompletion it makes a lot more sense than in the past. Like I actually can tell where I went wrong vs just Spidey senses.
I also feel like running plays aren't as hit or miss as in the past. But I'm holding out on judgement until I play some of you assholes who have spidey senses at shooting the gap.
Its nice to be able to return punts and kicks again. I think I amassed more yardage in those areas than I did all of last year so far.
It might have been a LBer, I didn't watch the replay.
I noticed that but im still scared to do it. Battered wife syndrome.
I bet it's Persona 4 Arena.
RS Down to start RS Up to stop.
they change it every other year. You must not have played Madden before madden 12. Or you play them every other year
All-Madden
R.Moss 7 receptions 88 yards
V.Davis 6 receptions 123 yards
Crabbles 2 receptions 19 yards
Manningham 1 8 yards
Jenkings 1 for 8 yards
Drops
Moss 2 (both wide open in the 4th quarter with a couple mins left)
Davis 1
Crabs 0
Manningham 0
Jenkings 1
Walker 1
All in all, not too bad. I think part of it is CPU comeback mechanic. I played offline 12 franchise and it's way worse. I'll reserve judgement for player v player.
Davis had 4 pancakes... 1 for staley, slowey, and miller each.

To make it the same as NCAA.
Just won 17-3 against the FMTs. Willis was in full-on stupid mode tackling everything as usual. My first offensive play of the game was an 80 yard touchdown run by Bradshaw. He ended up finishing with 9 carries for 103 yards though lol. 9ers had the ball for 12 min, and I only had it for 7. 5 minute quarters are so terribly short.
Oh, and I played it on All-Pro for the first game. I'll notch it up to All-Madden for the next one.
Kickoff returning does seem more doable in this game.
The graphics didn't seem to really improve at all in my opinion. Doesn't matter to me at all though. The player animations are pretty great this time around.

im loving the passing game so far. really mirrors what ncaa is doing this year but i think madden is even better. FINALLY people can be punished for playing bump and run all game because you can really fit a ball in to tight spaces whereas in years past you more or less have to be WIDE open with no help deep to even want to attempt a deep throw after the bump (because the CB who bumped you would recover so quickly and could pick the ball at any time)
also, kaepernick is once again ridiculous. i don't care if he is rated a 70 he has a fucking cannon arm and is pretty fast. lemichael james ain't too shabby running the ball either. and manningham/moss/crabcakes are beasts.... to speak nothing of VD!

I hate this
I'm around right now for anything. anyone else?
we can figure the game after we figure te people
Also, I don't think the skins' LBs are that bad, but I had an OLB chasing down man to man a HB running to the flats, and then he suddenly tarded out and went the wrong direction. had to get safety help
this was on all madden
