These are the "holy sh*t" gameplay moments I have always waited for in this game! Now if they can perfect presentation....

Eli Manning is a Monstah! It's ridiculous how good this guy is. It feels so much different going from Matt Flynn to Eli Manning. Eli simply puts the ball in better position for his recievers.

I can honestly say that Eli plays the best out of all 4 quarterbacks. Guys like Matt Flynn, Alex Smith, and RG3 all dink and dunk the ball down the field, going to their checkdowns. Eli simply shreds your defense.

I asked earlier and nobody answered this question but does anyone else notice that whenever you kick the ball a small section of the meter lights up about a split second before the meter disappears. And does anyone know why it does that?

I am holding out hope this area get's tuned better for retail, because the demo's tackling is downright sloppy IMO. Good lord I want Madden to be great again. Meantime NCAA 13 is a heck of game. Go figure.

This guy thinks NCAA 13 is good? There goes his credit.

I am pretty impressed with the QB AI. I think the audio is fantastic minus the two minute warning glitch where the stadium music doesn't stop playing.

The tackling is all over the board IMO. It is so far off from what I had envisioned.

Not really. He could have made Elite a decent game with a good slider set

Easy now. He is entitled to his opinion.

I played 4 games with every team (All-pro difficulty). Overall it was decent.

- There are definitely some nice hit animations now and big backs for the most part fall forward which is nice.
- I didn't throw one interception in 4 games.
- I had a very high completion percentage as well as the CPU. This is a result of no psychic DB's IMO. QB's seem too accurate however.
- CPU seemed a little better running the ball compared to last year (could be because I haven't played in a while).
- There really is no interaction when attempting the goaline fade between the receiver and DB. Its very inconsistent.
- Not a big fan of the juke move. Where are the quick cuts? It would be nice to have those to cut back to daylight.
- The replays at the playcall screen that remove the play clock are annoying.
- CPU defense still knows your playcall.
