Took me only about 15 mins for me to download.

Guess it's because people are still at work.

Yeah how is it? If it feels much like last year then I don't need to download it because I know I already want it.

I played a game and liked it a lot. I had already convinced myself to not buy it but all of the damn additions the Saints have made and how crazy this offseason has been might change my mind eventually...

Very impressed with the unfinished product. I was unsure how they would do with all the staff changing right in the middle of production, but they clearly showed that Ian Cummings, along with the others who left, didn't amount to much on the team.

Will definitely be buying this game now. Great demo for me

I liked it but not as much as last years. I don't like that we are only able to play as Green Bay or Chicago though.

I only played one game (on the 360, but I assume they're similar) and I loved it.

Played as the Packers on Pro for the first half, and switched to All Pro for the second half. I really liked based on the little I've seen. Graphics are amazing.

The lack of "suction" was very nice. The tackles and collisions felt a lot better. On one play as a RB I ran an offtackle. Normally I could keep close to the linemen with no problem. But without suction, the DE was able to quickly disengage and take me down.

I ended up winning 28-0, but it wasn't the blowout it seems. 7 points came in the last minute on an INT return. Cutler threw another pick in the endzone. 14 points were scored in the first half on the easier difficulty...the run game was too easy until I bumped it up to All Pro. I didn't run too much in the second half (my offense wasn't on the field that much anyway).

I'm most excited about the improvements in Dynasty. Dynamic Player Progression could be the greatest addition ever. Player roles are back along with an enhanced offseason. Scouting and expanded rosters will be another great twist. I'm almost tempted to buy that stupid EA pass to get this game the weekend before...but I'll probably pass on that.

Yes tackling feels MUCH better, much more fluid. Run blocking felt right, it took a little while to adjust to it. I think it's a big improvement, just based on what's been seen.

I really couldn't hate the new view anymore. I only played about 2-3 minutes but the way the camera angles are set and the change in kicking just sucks. I'm gonna try again later but first impression was a NOT BUY for me.

I really liked the kicking, and the kicking view for that matter. I think it makes it look more realistic. The run blocking to a little bit getting used to following. Overall, I thought it was a solid demo. I can't wait to get the finished product

Lol ya kicking is different. But it is an upgrade. Kicking field goals used to b a joke. I actually missed two extra points in my first game. Haha. Guess I need to practice

I liked it, but what is up with the players' eyes?!
The Packers linemen look like they want to eat my soul.

I missed a 36 yard FG...that doesn't happen often.

I would also like to see another step added to the kicking process to simulate the snap and hold. There is never a bad snap and it would be a great way to bring the LS into the game instead of having a random OL in that spot.
