Hey Adam if you played the demo did you notice how the QB feet would get stuck while moving backwards in the pocket?

Oh yea and I also like the new chin-straps thats in the game!

Good Job EA!

Hopefully not for that post. I have been waiting a long time to join OS. I have been coming here and lurking for years. He didn't post anything bad. In the past, I saw some pretty offensive posts with names of colleagues that deserved some sort of flag though. Maybe not on OS, cause I go to many boards to lurk, but I have seen some sick posts. But I don't want you guys to police the haters for me. Please treat me like another member, except that I can get you better answers. This is VERY important to us. Yeah we are here in an official capacity, however we are here in an off the cuff kind of way. This is how we have been directed to post here. We were told by our boss' boss' boss to be completely honest and non transparent. Trust is very important in what we are trying to do here, ya know? One thing you have to understand... we NEED criticism. Without competition how do we review the previous year and figure out what we could have done better? This is elementary business. After a project is done, you figure out how it could be improved and apply it to the next project. Everyone on the team has their say, sure, but it doesn't reflect the opinion of those of you who buy the game... who at the end of the day, are who is most important. Sure it is video games, but we aren't much different from any other business.

Ok, I see what you're saying. When I replied to the poster defending the game I was in a "we need to hear it mode" and forgot about how he was just being a troll. That's ANOTHER thing we were told... don't respond to the trolls! That's what I get for navigating to OS at 1:30 am on a Friday/Saturday!

I know when I first showed up and posted "Hi! I work on NCAA please ask me questions and/or flame me!" that stuff got edited, and I was upset that I didn't have a chance to read them first lol. It seemed like there was a vibe of "don't scare him off!" going on. Don't worry about that.

I'm not here to take over your board so don't waive any rules. All I ask is that you don't edit/delete/kick guys in fear of scarring me off. I'm here to stay. If I'm fired tomorrow I will still be here (and yes, honoring my non disclosure agreement lol) cause at the end of the day, I'm an NCAA Football fan. I love the sport, I love the game. What else is required of me, ya know?

this may have been discussed in one of the 98 pages before this but does anyone know when the demo will be made available for xbox live silver members? im dying to play but am not willing to shell out 10 bucks for the demo of a game that i'll be paying 60 for in less than a month. saving that $10 for a july 15.

Adam I'm hoping you can pass along this info, is there any way that when we import a draft more players will actually be eligible to draft in Madden? I'm not sure if this pertains to Madden or NCAA. I think as of right now only 17 QBs are being exported and while that sounds like a lot its really not.

Yeah, I saw this a lot in early builds of the game. It was really common then, so I'm not surprised that it still happens occasionally.

Oh, and thanks on the chin straps... I think... ummm, what new chin straps did we add? Lol I don't remember those being changed.

While it is not my area, I do know alot about how games "work." This is certainly a Madden thing.

Oh jeeze.. I just hijacked the demo thread!

Ahh.. you're talking about the color. That is shared amongst everyone on the team.
