Gridiron, there is such a thing as being an EA hater. It definitely does exist. However, none of us here hate EA. I've noticed in basically every single one of your posts that you are blindly defending every aspect of the game no matter what. Whether you care to admit it or not, there ARE problems with the demo. Whether or not they exist in the final game is a while different matter, though judging from years past, the exact same issues will exist in the final game.

First of all, I'm getting 5-8 seconds to throw the ball when facing a 4 man rush, and get about the same amount of time whenever the CPU has the ball. That. Is. WAY. Too. Long. Even when you pass commit and have your defensive line set to aggressive, it still doesn't generate nearly the pressure I should be seeing whether it be a 4 man rush or with blitzing defenders as well. If you say you only get 3 seconds to throw the ball on average, I'll straight out call you a liar. I've played it, and tons of others have as well, and you're the only person I've seen say that.

The game forces you to be a better signal caller? LOL. No, it doesn't. As rhombic said above me, you can run Verticals the entire game and score at will. You can run a post route every single play and score at will. There's SEVERE issues with how the defense defends and responds to the pass. Defenders in zone drop to the wrong spot in the field, they will NOT make an effort to defend someone in their zone, DBs constantly get turned around for some reason leading to easy touchdowns, and there's also occasional issues where they just line up incorrectly leaving someone wide open from the start. Of all the games I've played football wise this generation, this one is the single worst at making me make the correct reads. I don't have to make reads. I can pick a route that's going to be wide open before I even run the play.

Now, like I said, this is based on the DEMO. Whether or not it plays the same in the final version remains to be seen. I just think you really need to hop in between the "EA is amazing" and "EA sucks" train and see where I'm coming from.
