Some notes..

I really like the Virtual Trainer. Seems like a good concept because your game is tailor made to your weaknesses and strengths. (for example, I was maxed out on rushing offense, but my rush defense still needs some improvement to max out)
You don't get to play a full game, but instead one of this year's "Madden Moments", which if any of you remember playing NFL 2K5 (with Eagles T.O. on the cover), is like the ESPN 25th Anniversary section of that game. You will take control of a team in a historic NFL situation.
In the demo's case, you are the Giants vs. the Patriots, Super Bowl XLII, down 10-14, 4th and 1 with 1:30+ remaining and the clock running. (hint: give it to Jacobs ) You must lead the G-Men on a touchdown drive, cementing upset championship win.
The dynamic passing camera takes a few downs to get used to, but overall it is an upgrade to be able to see all of your receivers on the field
I love being able to shed tackles even though the animation has already started
Lots of dropped passes.. lots of them
No strafe-catching on offense.. why?

how can you not be hyped for this game? Good song too. I think I'm going to be there at midnight for this one.
