Agreed. Never want to see the Horseshoe again.

They should give us a bigger demo next year!

A week and a bit wait for me =(

LOL I feel ya, but you have to admit that it was pretty solid. Well maybe you don't but .......... I can't wait until next Tues. Really hope one of these Targets or somebody is selling it early.

Get outta here with "free passes." It's about actually having the ability to break down the improvements as opposed to saying "it feels like the same game as last year" and showing you have no ability to see anything. I was complimenting the poster and his content.

Some gamers appreciate the "under the hood" improvements. I like seeing those discussed on OS as opposed to the countless other threads by individuals who can't see anything if it's not explained to them.

But yeah, it's not 2k football so I can see why you'd make that comment.

Well i am pulling for ya. I saw a diving catch into the endzone on a pass that I lead my TE to yesterday that I had never seen before so I am truly excited. I probably missed some things since I didnt play the past few year's game to really see all the new animations. Here's to hoping we get it early.

The catches this year are really good (judging from the demo).

Usercatching is a treat. And tip intercepts are really cool, they actually react to the tip ball.

And the sideline catch animation triggers nearly every time which is a relief. It was pretty frustrating prior years passing to the sideline because the receiver rarely did the falling, two feet in animation and just caught it outside the field.

Yep. I love the user catching on off and def. I feel like I have PS2 control over my players. The past years i felt like I had no control over user catching. You didn't have to have true stick skills IMO on the previous games but now it seems they are giving the control back to the users for Next gen.

Yeah, the two things that really jump out at you are the catch animations and the slimmed down (better looking player models). Both of those are huge additions. I agree with thread that talked about the ball being too big, though, and it's tough to say that they fixed a lot "under the hood" when we're playing a build from April that's still a little clunky.

It's also a tough call because much of the stuff that prevented me from playing for any length of time last year isn't in the demo...such as the ridiculous phone call procedure for recruiting and the piss poor menu structure. For a game where you spend so much of your time managing your team, those are BIG problems, especially if you want people to do the same activities in online leagues!

Another thing that sucks is that we don't have the option of returning Punts and Kickoffs left or right.
