Soldier, you're probably our first, how about you start the chain. Will anyone else be up before 8-8:30? If not, send it to me ups7, and I'll pass it on to CMO.

I am not really sure what everyone is talking about, but can I get in on this? I am up now, if I download the demo I won't be able to send it to anyone until after 5.

No need for the train. The "invitation" is just a message pimping the demo and the unis, no link involved, so no way to do the train. Just send it to a friend and you'll be set

Models look the same, just with new additions like speed helmet, sleeves, accessories. A lot more shading and texture on the old models.

Fan shots from Madden are in the game.

Slick ESPN graphic and desk intro, but they plopped the table at midfield with no humans .

We run out of a stadium based tunnel that doesn't exist like you have seen . After the clip you've seen in the previews, then we run across diagonally like we should. Not a big deal, I guess the linked arms are worth it.

Shoe looks good. A little bit of a soft red.

Gameplay review next.

Loving the locomotion upgrades. Finally the speed is reasonable and less arcade like.

Change directions with a player, even a safety, and you come to a stop and have to build up again.

I set up an overload blitz by engaging the DT on the tackle and looping the DE. I got around but the congestion slowed me down. No earning untouched.

Pressured QB Harris and his pass fluttered to the turf.

Ran option with Pryor. He got the edge, but it was a slow buildup after the handoff. He even fell down slowly like the giant he is for a DB to tackle.

Really like the changes to the d. I have seen zero warping so far.

We may finally have the game we have been pleading for all along.

Sent evege on a CB blitz and he forced another harmless duck that floated to the turf by the ol. Neither pressured pass had a prayer of being picked

Touch passes are possible. No more horizontal lasers that are always tipped or picked.

This feels a lot like Madden, which is great, but still has option and other college gameplay.

I hot routed my slot upfield when facing a nickel formation blitz. They tried to drop into coverage but I stopped after a one step drop and fired a dart to an open guy. You have to cover, you can't defend from the los with a superhuman jumper and instinctive lb

Just sent two blisters, got pressure, but was vulnerable over the top. Lines caught up after the catch due to locomotion. Loving this new gameplay. Blitzes work but are dangerous and not super fast.
