Then, the question must be asked, how did Sony overlook it and send it back to EA?

Whether its 'better' or not is irrelevant, the product you ordered is not what your received.

With previous Madden's I would agree, but I think we all can agree that Madden 13 retail was different than the demo.

I don't think it's Sony's obligation to do quality control for EA's product.

If a piece if moldy bread pops out of your toaster in the AM you don't blame the toaster.

Appreciate the your feedback AJ, but when game changers come around before Community Events, etc..... we ask questions, they state they need to find out and then, don't come back to note the issue was addressed, etc...... and we are left hanging if the issue was addressed.

My concern was late game AI and clock mgt of the CPU. I asked about it, and the GCer said, oh yeah, that was a big concern with me last year and said, I'll see if it's been addressed.

Nothing was heard since.

It's that part of the follow through that appears to need working on, in my opinion.

Thanks for listening, back to the demo.

The demo is sent into MS and Sony for certification two weeks prior, isn't it? To me, that is quality control.

Just saying, there is more than one culprit and it appears it will be fixed. Not saying EA isn't guilty, here.

Cant agree more with this statement. A lot of GCs say they listen to suggestions and they will talk to developers, but after that it is wait and see.

Maybe most are worried about NDA and what not, or really dont get an answer.

When this occurs it looks more like a marketing ploy than what is it touted as (a way to help bring community members and developers closer)

I don't know, I played the demo last night and I just don't see all these improvements people are so high on. The graphics look the same, the running animations still look funny, the computer AI is still pathetic, especially late in the game, the penalties still don't make sense, and the line play is still terrible because their feet are sliding all over the place. I just can't justify handing EA $60 of my hard earned cash for a glorified roster update, as much as I love the NFL. $6 for a few Sunday Redbox rentals sounds more reasonable.

Yeah, this is equally as much of a Sony certification fail as it is EA.
