Not in the demo. It's only one camera and the option to change is not available. It does appear in the screen saver mode if you don't press start. It looks like last year's to me. I am sure it's still in the game.

I would love it if it wasn't for the camera being so far zoomed out. Takes away from seeing the animations play out and the nice graphics. I might have to stick with NCAA.

NO! The brainless olinemen and pull blockers are still present.

Honestly not that much impressed. The feeling and gameplay is almost identical to Madden 12 (and 11 and 10). Some good improvements by the impact engine, but a few steps backwards on the graphics side as well. Bad replays, poor field and crowd... much more impressed by the Vita version at the end.

The crowd?????? This is the best sounding crowd in Madden ever

So after playing a game I am not very impressed. The physics engine is a nice little upgrade, and yeah I say little. I hardly notice it during play unless something weird happens. It's like the same madden and ncaa animations as old just triggering the physics in the arms and legs when they happen. I guess the only time the engine shines is group tackles.

You really notice then engine when guys fall all over each other after the play. The safeties do things just as dumb as the NCAA safeties.

Yeah the engine does look cool in some situations, but for the most part I still see the same animations in tackles as we have always seen. From the game I played maybe 1 out of every 5-10 plays seemed like the physics engine showed what it could be someday.
