Sony hasn't updated their store yet. Look for it around 2-3 pm ET and it might be there

I know what you mean, Sage. Madden 12 did a great job of broadcast-style camera cuts in between plays (i.e. focusing on the QB after a big throw, or showing a RB/WR returning to the huddle after a run/catch). It seems that Madden 13 went away from that or they don't show it as much. Other than that, I'm loving what I see in 13.

I'm enjoying the demo. But I'm not some super freak sim game guy. I just play the game to have fun.

It's demo but progressive lighting doesnt seem to be in. though NCAA's lighting isn't as good it felt like in NCAA's game the lighting changes changed onto what you saw on the field. That said overall I like it not in love as it's not the full game yet time will tell until season ticket NOT Midnight Release like other years thank goodness

Progressive lighting and skies are in, at least in the NY@SF game and it's more realistic now so it happens throughout the game instead of at the beginning of quarters.

In the meantime, just watching some of the vids that Steve_OS has posted, and I certainly see more than two angles. During pre-play, I saw Vernon Davis highlighted as banner popped up showcasing his stats thus far in that game. I saw another example of an Eli Manning interception; after the play is over, the intercepting defender is shown and the camera cuts back to Eli to show his reaction.

So I certainly am not attempting to convince you that M13's camera work is better than M12 -- I just see more similarities than I do differences.
