Thought it was just me that thought the motion blur ,shadowing ,and the new lightning sytem looks bad and washed out in the demo .

Patrick frickin Willis has caused me no small amount of rage. The man beat cruz and Nicks and picked them off on passes he shouldn't have even been able to touch. Man is causing me grief, besides most of the negatives that's already been said, demo is alright. Just hoping this is an earlier build so I can be more optimistic, but im probably buying this day 1 to 3

Dguinta was asked by a mod to condense his posts.

We never said he couldn't say what he wanted. He is free to give his opinion on the game as long as its within the sites TOS.

The situation has been dealt with and its over.

Looks just like any other WR IMHO aside from the name on the jersey.

Anyway.... Playing with sliders does have a good effect.

Toss/sweeps on all pro with adjustments weren't as easy. Was averaging 16.3 ypc prior.

With done tweaking... AI could be good.

2nd opinion on infinity.... DEFINITELY a gimmick at this point and after 4 games really doesn't effect gameplay honestly. VERY very minor if anything.

Definitely is a beta test in M13 as opposed to a full fledged feature. After a few games it kinda just becomes almost forgettable. I like what it could bring, but at this stage 7 yrs later it seems way to late to say confidently if it will ever reach a full potential with new consoles and hardware around the corner.

I've only played one game on PS3 so far, but here are my initial thoughts -

- While the commentary is vastly improved over last year, Jim Nance sounds too robotic/canned/whatever. Phil Simms' commentary is real good but they just need to tighten it up so he still isn't making a point about the last play halfway into the next play.

- The sound (crowd, on the field action) is great. Madden does what NCAA13 doesn't - it maintains a loudness of the crowd while the home team is on defense and still integrates the new swells. Well done.

- The new passing game is solid.

- And last but not least the new infinity engine is a very solid foundation for what can make for great gameplay. Sure there are some funky looking things going on here and there but for the first iteration of the new engine the crew at EA did a real great job. I love the fact that I can rush the QB with my LB and I blow past him I cannot stop on a dime and chase after him....my player has to take a few steps to stop momentum before heading in an opposite direction. That's just a small anecdote but the new engine gives the game a *much* needed change of feel.

Overall so far I'd day that EA has a winner on it's hands. I'll have to play it more to get more in-depth with impressions but the first test drive was a great one.

Glad you feel the same way I do.

Just not feeling this one. If they tighten the rag doll physics up to stop all the bowling pin action, then it certainly has potential. You see one cool thing followed by several head scratchers. The plays where they brace for impact and it never happens or when a neck or arm goes twisting way before an actual hit occurs looks odd. It is fun though and I said the same after the NCAA demo and it has turned out to be a great game. I think the graphics up close are spot on amazing, but then when you are playing, look terrible. Camera angles just kill that. I will give it some more play and see how the release version impressions go, but I'm leaning towards NCAA as my game of choice as long as the patch does not ruin it.

I just saw a push block by a pulling guard. He was pulling to the right and pushed the linebacker 3 yds to the right then pushed him again 3 yds then again and again. By the time the play was over the linebacker was out of bounds. It looked so unique that it seemed like a glitch.
