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

I also have to agree with someone that posted that the game is just too damn fast, i put it on very slow and its much more enjoyable to play because you can see the play unfold and moreover you actually have time to react! LOL

Just witnessed a "backbreaker" esque play, my dline sacked RG3 but as he went down his body intertwined with his olineman and his leg helicoptered in a deformed way as he hit the ground...but even seeing this is better than the canned tackles from madden 12

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.

This could possibly mean the demo is older than the June build. I can't imagine them changing the speed given that I heard nothing but praise for the speed in the June build.

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.

This game feels NOTHING like Madden 12 to me, anyone else agree? In fact when I first started the demo that was the first thing I was feeling, that this was something fresh and different for a change.

This demos default speed is just too fast to be simulation after playing All-Pro 2k8 today. After i slowed it down to very slow the game played like All-Pro 2k8 but with better graphics and up to date real life players. The thing that concerns me now is that I won't have any desire to play online games because their default speed will be the fast *** normal speed. That's a shame because i like playing online, but if i have to play offline to have a authentic football game then so be it :/

If I win a Super Bowl with Eli or Big Ben in CC, will the announcers say, "and now onto the field 3x Super Bowl Champ X"? Or will they make the mistake and keep saying 2x?

My only problem with Slow speeds is that i have too much time to make decisions.
