Lol... that's your stamina.

I love madden been playing it for a very long time like pre snap cameras don't matter much to me it's when you actually hike the ball were madden is lacking in some areas not all. For instance corner back wide receiver interaction has never been good or even close to realistic. Zone coverage had one good year on current gen madden 12. Offense was always there in madden they need to fix the D!

Played 2 games (me) Seahawks vs (cpu) Packers on All-Pro. My quick takeaways of what I've experienced so far.

Should have been given the option to change the camera angle. Ridiculously far away.

Player models are well done but, you only see this in replays because the camera is so far away.

Uniforms get pretty dirty.

Defensive pressure is still predominately from the offenses right side.

QBs aren't necessarily super accurate but the WRs get pretty wide open making most passes pretty easy. Rodgers is good but, Seattle's secondary looks pretty poor vs the Packers receivers which shouldn't be the case.

Rodgers completed over 80% both games. I forced one errant throw, separated the receiver from the ball a couple of times on hits, and picked him off 3 times. In other words, the ball doesn't hit the ground. Completion, drop, or interception. Those seem to be the outcomes.

You can break away better than in NCAA. If you juke someone they don't immediately flip around and tackle you. Had a nice left stick, foot plant change of direction speed burst that Sidney Rice took to the house. Looked really good. Beat the corner and the safety to the end zone.

Overall, I think it's going to take some slider tweaking to get the game to play well. It doesn't appear to be a major step forward at all. I don't know how old the build on the demo is but it honestly doesn't feel any farther along than the NCAA demo.

Don't know how much more I'll even play the demo. The camera angle just bugs me too much. And it feels pretty stale to be honest.

Can't wait to give it a go tonight!

Noticed there are less options under sliders now. Anyone know why they removed break tackles for running and block shedding for defense.

Just finished first game. Lost on all pro to seahawks thanks to that 68 yard TD pass to rice and not being able to stop lynch in 4th.

Game is fun. If you enjoyed madden 13 you will really enjoy this. There is improvement. Most noticeably for me was movement control and CPU AI. Like I said I did a lot of sliders last year and the default all pro the CPU needed a lot of help to not give you the game. For the rbs to even try avoid being tackle. Lynch was cutting back and hurdling and everything that we were struggling to get CPU RBs to do last year so that was nice to see.

Wilson 8/9 168
Rodgers 11/17 148

Lynch 18 for 104
Wilson 3 for 11
Lacy 3 for 11.

Red flag in the stats: Garvin has 8 pancakes. Rice 5. Lol.

4 assisted tackles.

No sacks.

The computer throws a lot of picks. Russel Wilson threw 4 one game and then kapernick threw 4 the next against me. Only 2 of the 8 were user picks.

Just part of the whole inconsistency the AI offense shows.

I do see a lot of new animations, considering I haven't bought these games in 3 iterations, it's interesting to see.
