I've seen on other sites some peeps with several demo keys giving them away, just curious if anybody has extras they could give to fellow league members.
also, who has the demo, what are your first impressions, and what are the biggest changes you find in the gameplay from last year to this year. I can't wait to get my hands on it, will probably have the demo as well in the next few days

PRO's Well, I have the demo (played 3 games) and Im pretty impressed with the effort just from a gameplay standpoint. I didnt really play madden 09, so thats hard for compare. From my point of view its a completely different game then 09. This game is very good at the line of scrimmage things actually develop. You can set up the running game very well with patient explosion and the defensive units play true zones and man coverages. Defensive players really do now have field awareness instead of just being in a certain spot on the field. Cons- After my first game I thought it might of been a touch slow, but after third game it seemed to make the game work. The major con is the 5 min quarters on the demo, Ive been pounding the ball in the run game and have not been able to get more than 14 carries in a game. The game clock is different, it almost seems you need to play 10 min quarters to get a legitamate game in. Im playing the 5 min quarters in about 30 minutes.

great info, if we gotta run 7-8 minute quarters to get realistic stats I think we'll go that route, its worth it to have a realistic game, amount of plays, and most importantly scores

7-8 minute quarters may not even be enough, the demo actually chews the clock automatically. Know matter how fast you call your play when your offensed comes to the line of scrimmage it automatically brings your play clock down to 20 seconds. With doing this if the game clock is running during your play call it also sucks the game clock down.
Because of this feature the games really cruises. I played a 5 min quarter game in 27 minutes on the dot last night. This feature seems to be done well and really speeds up the amount of playing time. It dosent do it in hurry up situations and inside of two minutes unless the game clock has stopped. Just my observations on it.

good info. We'll all def. have to get our hands on it & there will be a vote when the time comes to decide a set time you must snap the ball by (accept in certain parts of the game) and a set time per quarter

i played the demo was really impressed with it. considering i was pretty disappointed in madden 09 this game has a good reputation especially since its gonna have online franchise, bout damn time. but i think they might of just sped up the game clock for the demo for some odd reason, but i have a good feeling about this madden and am very excited to start competing against real owners in a franchise mode other than the computer.

I'm liking the demo. running lanes seem to be good. still trying to figure out how to get the jump ball to Fitzgerald inside the 20.
don't like that the 3-4 is the only defensive playbook basically in the demo but it is good practice.
