[quote=Mattyk;697011]Isn't this basically a spruced up version of "ask Madden"?

We'll see how it goes, I'm not against the idea. Looks like it could be fun as long as the AI works right. You can vote on plays you like or don't like so it will be called more or less often.

Same thing I was going to post. Wouldn't be bad to see what worked well in the game. Turbo is now turned off by default, but you can add it back on. I still can't quite get the 2 joystick thing down, but I don't own any of the systems so that's probably why, just lack of practice.

Yeah, I agree. Franchise is basically the only reason why I buy Madden, and they haven't had a respectable franchise mode since PS2.

Is it coming back to PC?

Ok after getting a chance to watch this entire preview I'm fully on board with the new changes. I like the look of the new game planning feature and considering they've cut the game time in half without sacrificing the amount of plays you run, I think that's definitely a good thing. Seems that they're just cutting out a lot of the unnecessary junk in between plays.

I think they made a good point that in real life a coach doesn't bring his entire playbook into a game, he brings a gameplan that's just a portion of the entire playbook. They've managed to simplify the game yet add some depth at the same time.

Any reason for the Cornershop song in the usertitle? I know that their album just came out in the U.S. recently, though it was out last year in England. I forgot that I had dl'd it.

My second 360 red ring of deathed just in time for demo day. So far I'm batting 100 percent for my career on broken XBOX's. Love the games, love Live, but seriously, what a hunk of junk the machine is. The most frustrating part is that they replaced my first broken XBOX with a machine that had the same hardware defect, even though a non-defective machine had been developed already at that time.

Anyway, end rant as the kids say. Someone let me know how the demo is since I won't be playing it anytime soon.

I like the demo, not bad, will take a little getting use to, but over all I didn't hate it.

Freaking Gus Johnson doing the play by play? AWESOME!

They have been doing this for years in the NCAA video games, and what only two teams have fight songs right? Not too hard.

I liked the overall feel of the demo except for the audibles. I like how NCAA and previous Madden's have offered the option of switching my line, lb, and secondary coverage more smoothly with each section of the defense being assigned to a button on the controller instead of the new way where I have to cycle through the menu just using the d-pad. I found I never had the time to make it through the process to ever adjust my defense to do what I wanted. As long as I can switch that option I'll be good to go, but if not that's going to take quite a bit of getting used to. Also a minor issue, anyone else find it weird that after so many years of the kicking game using the thumbstick that they switched to the old school tiger woods style of pressing the A/X button 3 times?
