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

I guess I assumed when adding physics, they would've added better foot planting and momentum. I'm only a few plays in and I feel like I'm skating around like Sonic the Hedgehog. That is hugely disappointing.

I'd love to someday run with my RB where I have to pick the hole, make one move and take what happens. Not be able to move leftrightleftrightback all over the place.

I was beating the giants 10-3 with 2 seconds left. Giants have the ball on my 40. last play the giants run a weak outside toss.... The ****?

Call me crazy but I like the graphical downgrade. It's kind of a tad cartoony and reminds me of 05!

Doesn't this demo kinda remind you of NFL fever a little....

I love the game! I didn't buy Madden 12 (first time in 10 years without buying a madden). My only gripe on the game is it's way too fast imo. When I changed the speed to slow, it feels a lot like the ps2 madden gameplay wise. Which ps2 madden was my favorite. Hopefully they will let you play slow gamespeed on ranked games...

Must buy for me!

Playing my first game now. Granted, it's very very early, but ... typically, after playing The Show all summer, I feel like I've taken a giant step back when I first play the Madden demo. Almost like I've gone from PS3 back to PS2. For the first time, I feel like Madden is on the PS3.

A few quick hits: Slow with threshold at 0 feels good to me. I played Very Slow last year, but it feels too slow now. Normal is still too fast. Really liking that real undrafted free agents are in the game. Graphics are top notch. Animations are better. The new presentation is much better. Simms/Nantz are well ahead of Johnson/Collinsworth.

I mean I do see some improvements, no doubt about that. I absolutely love all the immersion, cut scenes, and all the on the field camera cut aways. They look stunning. But the actual game... it still looks like a cartoon when playing from this camera angle, and the gameplay.. while better than years past still light years behind where it should be IMO. This game stills feels like a last gen game to me, with polished up hi def graphics. I still don't feel like I am in total control of what is happening on the field, and I just don't get the umph! feeling when hitting, getting hit, or exploding through the hole running. I dunno guys.. not trying to hate here (i am over that by now), I just want more at this point.. I dunno, maybe I will try slower speed as some say here and it will feel better and not so jerky.. but right now its looking like another year of no video game football for me..

Its too bad too!! I cant seem to get that feeling of control or wow feeling!! Its like the game does all the work for you and you just kind of guide it!! Cant really explain how I feel and it seems things will never get better!! Hopefully franchise mode has some validity??
