If my elbow got stuck in someone's groin I'm pretty sure I'd have the same reaction.

Explain to me what skills and the feel of the game have to do with each other? Just because someone doesn't agree with your point of view doesn't mean they are less "skilled" than you at the game. Don't be ridiculous.

My opinion remains unchanged, the game feels almost identical to M12. It looks better graphically, and has better tackling due to the IE, but overall this game isn't much different. You wanna jot it down as me not being "skilled" enough, so be it.

this demo is amazing! first game i played was the giants vs 49ers. passing game is fun. running the ball took me a while to get down with the new infinity engine. because everytime i tried to run he would fall over his own player.

i got burned by a long run for a td by 49ers cause my d-fense couldnt tackle the guy.

the lighting in the seahawks and redskin game sucks so bad. they need to fix that.

the infinity engine makes everyone look like rag-dolls flying around.

other than that. better than ncaa 13 demo and better than madden 12

Can you access manual instant replays in the demo?

Thanks!

Does this trump the theory slider creators of Madden 12 had that putting certain points in the sliders make it "All-Madden"? I know I'm probably going to hate Connected Careers due to the limitations they set in 13, but as the saying goes "don't count your chickens before they hatch"

Nope, I input Jarrod's sliders and the game said it was rookie, but the kick meter was still All-Madden level.

I love most things that everyone else in this thread eluded to, but

The only two things I dislike are:

- Players look a little too dark at a distance. Refs, opponets (in white) are like shadows.

- Players stumble entirely too much and make me want to rage. I'm wondering if this is a ratings thing. I use Helu. I think he is rated 79ish.

Other than that I will be getting this on day one or before, lol

Certainly a possibility...I'd love for that to be the case.

I think the demo is definitely a mixed bag.

Pros:

Passing trajectory is great

Graphics look good except for one thing... see Cons

Nice to have new commentary

The Engine creates some great tackles and plays. I had Vernon Davis catch a pass against me and break through three tackles on his way to a TD.

Cons

Graphics - the Giants look like they have depends on. Those lines in their pants on their backsides is to noticeable.

The Engine is not so great. I see more strange happenings during and after plays then I ever have. Guys getting up and stumbling. Guys literally sitting on other players. Tackles that are just OFF. It's kind of like a bad B-movie action film where someone throws a punch and the guy getting hit responds just a tad too late. That is what I'm seeing. The players also have a lot of jerky movement.
