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

And some more...

I think HB screen passes will be too deadly.
Comeback routes are way too easy.
Slants as well.
Couldn't tell a big difference in between qbs. Will try the backups and see how they fare.


Ball physics are much improved.
I liked the defensive pressure. I think Dwight Freeney will be a beast as they have a pretty good spin move. There seems to be a lot more variety oline and d line interactions.
I also like that players recover with a sense of urgency.

Infinity engine really helps to relay football as a violent sport.

Unfortunately I've never found this to be the case. With the game being released on the 28th, what you see in the demo is what you're going to get. Surely the game is being pressed, printed, etc. There's not really any time to tweak anything at this point.

Been reading the comments and are you guys nuts. This demo is horrible. It plays pretty much like god awful 11 and 12. No halftime show or postgame. Pregame is only real presentation, but with god awful sims and nantz. Tackling and physics is better but sometimes you fall by yourself for now reason other than being touched by a player. Player graphics are bad and graphical pop ins keep occurring and textures take too long to load. Grass and other details on the field and stadium are ok. Crowd looks partially 3d at least and not flat.

2 big issues for me:

1. players morph into the endzone barrier and go into the stands too often.
2. you can literally use the same lame money plays and drive down the field. Flanker drive, mesh, drags, over the middle plays. These plays are money 90% of the time.

This game keeps disappointing year after year.

See you guys going to play a real game nfl 2k5.

So the last FIFA demo was the same as retail? I'm sorry but I am sick and tired of reading this what you see is what you get garbage. The devs and game changers have all mentioned specific things that are being added post demo. You have no idea when this demo was even finalized. You don't like it fine, but stop with the absolutes that you have no idea are true or not.

And to expand on some of the crazy things I see with the engine, I hope EA can use this to their advantage. For example, I am seeing legs getting bent backwards and in directions they should not be going. Everytime I see it I kind of make scrunch my face up thinking about how bad that would be if it was a real person's limb being bent like that. Well what if EA can tie injuries into that.

This no doubt in my mind will be an awesome game to me. Tweak the engine, cut out the zig-zag running, and apply more football fundamentals

For the love of everything holy remove the damn motion blur...

Has anybody notice when you change your sliders the game moves back to rookie level automatically.....or if you have it on all pro and mess with the sliders it doesn't stay on the all pro level...

Check it out

Well..the DE's are effective on All-Pro AND All-Madden which is a huge plus. I didn't see a lot, if any, DT sacks. The pressure from the DE's DID make me rush a couple of throws and made me throw an interception. Nice to see.

As for the game....I lost 31-7. Victor Cruz and Eli Manning got whatever they wanted when they faced my secondary. The 49ers CB's are just PISS POOR. That and the fact I couldn't get my running game going with Gore made me all too 1 dimensional which allowed them to send blitzes to pressure me into bad throws. It only happened once, but it happened right after halftime when I was trying to claw my way back into the game.

But...yeah. If you don't have solid cornerbacks...and you're facing elite wide recievers and an elite QB? They are GOING to TORCH. YOU. (Eli went 11-13 for 222 yards and 2 TD's.) Especially if they can keep you honest with the running game as well.

Looking back on it, I'm not TOO mad at Eli throwing a streak first play of the game. Usually someone wouldn't do that, but then, isn't it the perfect oppurtunity to do so?

But, all in all, Slow, Speed Threshold 0, HUM Catching 50, CPU Break Tackle 25, All- Madden. Plays very sim.

Going to try out the Redskins vs Seahawks and see if two unproven QB's don't make a difference in the passing game.
