I thought today would reveal the gameplay? To be honest my top priority is for realistic tackling and non of the robotic quick animation tackling. Like you said, we will see.

I think its at 1. Bad thing is I will be at work and ain't be able to watch. Even worse is I have forgotten a quarter of the stuff they told me while I was down there last time so it will actually be a refreshed on some points.

Sorry, should have been more clear.

There will be game play revealed today, it's about the read and react defense, that is why I feel it will be similar to NCAA's last week.

June 4th is Gameplay 2, which appears to be a mystery at this point.

This is the schedule for today.

Presentation (April 25th)

Madden NFL 13 delivers world-class presentation with an entirely new look and feel; plus, new commentators bring the game's broadcast to life.

Gameplay Part 1 (April 25th)

With a revamped passing game and the all-new Read and React Defensive AI system, Madden NFL 13 achieves greater realism on the virtual gridiron on both sides of the ball.

Sounds similar to NCAA game play revealed last week, to me???

Yeah, I'm really hoping we get more than just a review of the features already announced in NCAA 13.

We are, presentation, but realistically, we already know about the passing and read and react defense.

Hopefully, they will show more, that's why I'm looking forward to the presentation.

I agree, I think most of the big game play changes will be the same things mentioned for NCAA just with a different name attached to it. Hoping I'm wrong but who knows.

Secondly, why would they use Madden 10 to showcase anything when they've had people at CD already who have played and seen 13. It's time to let the new cat out of the bag, not dig up and old dead cat. If it is an old build that they show, it will be an old build of 13. From my knowledge EA has never gone back intentionally to show us what is going to be in the new game by digging up a last year or the year prior to that. The only reason they would show something old is to show how the new is that much better. Never seen them do that otherwise.

Totally not the point I was making. I never said they WOULD use Madden 10, only that they COULD.

The point is that if the whole enchilada isn't working, you show a build that has the parts that are working together that you want to focus on for that particular presentation. The stuff that isn't working yet, or is working on its own but not with the stuff that you are focusing on for a particular presentation, you: have it in a separate build, you leave it out, you comment it out, what ever.

That's all I'm saying.
