Madden NFL 13 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

I love how the Dline plays if you know how to work your front and set the edge and etc. You can get pressure from some of the simplest stock blitzes. I hope madden builds off this going into the next gen. IMO it feels like I'm playing Ps2 again.

This is killing me too. It's just about the only negative I can find.

This has turned into a must buy. I haven't bought a Madden since 09, and it looks like it's a huge improvement. I can tell the infinity engine instantly, but may be more evident to me since I've avoided Madden for so long. DL play is a blast, I feel like i'm actually making a difference with my player - as opposed to NCAA's DL play.

i also love how the uniforms degraded throughout the game. i really could tell i had played a hard nosed power running game.

one great thing i saw was a deep post to randy moss where he split 2 defenders, out jumped them and caught a ball one handed and his momentum brought him to the ground. Now I do not believe current randy moss can make that play but this had early moss written all over it. The whole sequence was just something i havent seen and really enjoyed how it played out.

Toooooo many dropped passes

With the new engine, sometimes tackles look amazing, other times it looks terrible. There seems to be no middle ground.

However, changing game speed to Slow makes every silky smooth, I've noticed. Less janky.

Im starting to see drop ball also. This was a problem in last year's demo but was tuned in the retail version. I would say it was tunned to much and I didnt see much drop passes at all in the retail I hope they make it realistic and we still see dropped passes from guys who are known for slippery hands. Even from elite WR like Brandon Marshall, Desean Jackson, and Dwayne Bowe

This gave me the impression that receivers who excel at getting yac are going to be hell if you don't lock them down quick and often.

Meh, doesn't feel that much different than M12. Based upon some of the tackles/interactions I've seen, its not "physics" by any means. Graphically it seems improved over M12, but for me nothing about the gameplay says this is worth the $60 pricetag.
