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

They have really overdone it with the shadows. The more I play the more it annoys me. Hopefully they will turn it down with an update.

Has anyone seen any penalties called so far? I have yet to see any. It must be those replacement refs :-)

well first impression so far is that its just like last years madden except with the "infinity" engine that kinda chains along tackle elements. Oh and the motion blur which almost induces an epileptic seizure lol.

So I have to say I'm a little disappointed. My disappointment stems from the fact that the game (to me) feels the same as last year. I was expecting the Infinity engine to change the way the game feels during gameplay, but unfortunately it doesn't. Sure the animations are improved and the tackling looks more dynamic, but all in all the game doesn't look that different to me.

Furthermore, the running animations just look so stiff. I know this has been said many times, but the open field animations just need to be redone. I'm really on the fence on this one, I'm not sure I will be spending the cash on Madden this year.

Changing the game speed is nothing but a simple flip of the switch and I understand it's not difficult at all. But to a degree, it's disappointing that the game speed even has to be changed to a more sim setting. Like I've said previously, they had the 'normal' game speed about right back in June.

The fact that the 'normal' setting was apparently sped up lends itself to people continuing to debate whether Madden is intended to be a simulation or an arcade game. Personally, I feel Madden is on the road towards becoming a simulation, but it's hard to defend that notion when the 'normal' setting lends itself to a more arcade/fun feel.

Probably sounds like I'm sour grapes on M13 and that's not the case. I know it's a game I'll play substantially and one that I'll enjoy. I just want to see some additional I's dotted and some T's crossed.

100% agreed.

I missed sacking Eli just now, but hit his arm when he was in the throwing motion and he threw a complete duck to no one about 10 yards short of the receiver. Awesome.

Have you seen his new XBL GT? It is phenomenal and outrageous.

Okay, back on topic, sorry folks.
