I'd be down to play. What are the work arounds? And what have you heard regarding contracts and the new features being implemented in OF?

Not sure about the "new" features in OF, but I have been told that it is highly unlikely that contracts will be in. The workarounds are the same ones they use in the OS Vets franchise and would require some basic math and the use of Excel :)

That doesn't sound too bad. I remember reading ideas to implement systems for contracts and it looked like an absolute headache. But that was two years ago when it first came out.

Impressions from Pasta who has been very critical (imo overboard) of recent Madden games

Madden NFL 12 at E3: Impressions | pastapadre.com
What did appear immediately is the impact of the ‘Player Traits’ on actions within the games. Individuals do play more like themselves displaying certain tendencies. Seeing Philip Rivers sit in the pocket compared to Michael Vick taking off when spotting daylight is just one example of that. Operating with Tim Tebow became difficult as his passes frequently sailed on me and that seemed tied to the “tight spiral” tendency not just simple accuracy. It was refreshing not just to see guys playing to their strengths but to feel that differentiation as well.

But something I noticed as well and had me a little worried, although with it being a demo and early, I will hope that they adjust it a bit
While Madden 12 has made such significant advancement in several areas it still is somewhat rough around the edges at times. On several occasions safeties made boneheaded plays – check out part three of the Chargers-Chiefs video (at 3:20) where Eric Weddle is literally looking the wrong way for some reason allowing for a TD to be completed right by him. Mistakes by safeties tend to stand out.
When quarterbacks get hit and lose the ball it might look like a funble but be called incomplete without recourse to challenge. On one I had a terrific speed rush around the edge, hit him from the blindside, and jarred the ball loose. Apparently he had begun to throw but it sure didn’t look like it. The result is deflating.

Did this in my best Rex cut and paste impression

Not going to lie. The gameplay looks real good. Wish NCAA had something like this, but they're usually a step behind big brother.
