Can someone tell me if its the difficulty or am I just rusty? Haven't played a football game in a month....

Yes, I can help you out. When playing on All-Madden all user skills are dipped down to 25 (what a cheap way to acheive a more difficult game). Just go into your settings and raise all the user skills back up to the default of 50.

I like to keep the tackling for users and the cpu at 25 and take the running skills up to 55 so ball-carriers don't get tackled so easily.

Yes...the first time i played the demo..after two plays i went into options switched to "very slow" and stayed there for a while..went back to normal speed and its sooooooo much better on "very slow" speed in my honest opinion. If any of you guys do not like the game..try it on very slow speed..its a night and day difference for me..something that needs to be mentioned to everyone in the madden forum...heck making a thread on the speed of madden 13 should be made noting that "slow" or "very slow" is the way to go with M13.

I agree I'm having a blast on all pro and very slow.

Could not agree more with this... NCAA feels 'muddy' and stale. The animations are canned and everything feels regimented and mechanic. Madden seems fluid and organic. Still need more playing time but going back to NCAA feels like going back a generation...

I agree. I went back and tried to play NCAA last night and I couldn't do it.

About the dropped passes, if you user catch press and hold the catch button it gives you a better percentage of catching it. I got this from the manual> http://www.easports.com/madden-nfl/promo/manuals

Is demo forcing Xbox to freeze up 2nd time this has happen. Now that honey moon phases over I'm be putting more of my opinion out there. Like how the jerseys get dirty but only one team does. Played on all modded only had one dropped by CPU in crucial 3rd n long. Noticing the bumper car tackling everybody been talking bout not enough wrapping up. Do like the physics but don't need everybody falling over constantly. Does anybody else feel like when you running and you get behind a blocker you can get off him to make cut
