Madden NFL 13 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[tyberious4now]

Die hard Madden fan I like the demo not in love and maybe that's what a demo is for....But I will wait on the retail copy to determined if its a buy...

I loved Madden 12 but the tackling on 13 is not sexy at all I hope....clumsy at best...

Please tell me the retail copy is better I'm hoping lol

Why oh why did they bring back that awful "running in place when the the defender grabs the players hips until the ball carrier is pushed down." Not once have I seen that in a real football game

What's up with the replays? They look very fake. They should use more of the replays that they show when you challange a play

Since I skipped 12 madden 13 feels good wish it was a replay button to review plays.
Too much lag for a demo even froze up on me.

Like the player sizes and graphics

Lost on the whole dpi thing since I never played last yrs version I want to know what adjustments they made to it

Overall play feels more organic however you still get wtf play from time to time.

Times when I press y on Xbox as defender and never reacted.

Like the effect of grass popping up

Wish they had player lock camera on defense I like to play as secondary but can only play as safety with camera view now

Add a new camera view aka player lock

Need to fine tune kinetic it rarely picks up commands
There should be a list of. All the words it will pick up

Presentation fill smooth commentary is repetitive for demo
Is there still two catch buttons with holding of y for spectacular/possession catch or press y for regular catch

I'm really liking the new infinity engine!
The game looks great and plays great!
The commentary is much improved!
There are some odd movement of arms and legs as the plays end, but in general the game is different than years past which is a good thing!

My fav play so far:

The punt return man (cpu) juked my hit, bumped into his player lost his balance and fell down then got back up an ran a few more yards before being tackled. Awesome!

I don't see how anyone could prefer the previous tackling to this. It may not be true physics but it looks much better. So many new tackles.

[SoxFan01605]

The more I play, the more I appreciate the commentary. Not because it's particularly great, but because it's no longer bad and sometimes good. Several timers it's faded into the background (i.e. I ignored it), which is a good sign for me, since it used to be distracting in 12. Audio as a whole is positive for me...not saying it's "there" but it's significantly better than 12 IMO.

On a separate note, I'm really hoping that the weird replays, reduced/limited camera cuts, and sparse overlays are due to this being a demo. Otherwise, I can't find a single plausible reason for it not being on par with 12 (I could make a case for why it should be better, but I think expecting at least the standard of 12 is more than reasonable).

Also, in the same vein, I hope some of the animation issues (the speeding up for many tackles and contact animations, the inconsistency of signature throwing, etc) are demo related as well.

Most of the rest of my issues are related to problems we knew weren't really addressed, so looking at ONLY what was added and can get time with in the demo, I'd sway positive so far.
