[ajk49er]

the cpu needs some serious help running the football. its almost pathetic. I havent stacked the box at all and ahmad bradshaw's last 3 games against me 10-0 10-2 12-1

10 carries. 0 yards
10 carries 2 yards
12 carries 1 yard

that was on all pro with the cpu run sliders amped up. evidently they cant run on all pro.

I just seen it happen again. This time with the CPU Lynch being tackled while running through the hole. This time he tried to get up but was hit and fell back to the ground. was all I could do.

I've played about 6 games so far and there 3 HIGHLY visible issues that keep the gameplay from being great.

1. Players drop too many balls on All Madden. It make no sense for a wide open player with an 80 catch rating to drop wide open balls. Very few receivers in the NFL have such lack of concentration. This needs to be desperately fixed. Its been an issue this entire generation. You shouldn't have to modify sliders to correct this. It's common sense. Just watch an NFL game.

2. You should be able to zig and run circles while being a ball carrier. I understand this physics engine is new, but this is also an issue that has been around this entire generation. You guys need look into some type foot planting technology. MLB the Show and NBA 2k have figured this out 3 iterations ago.

3. Finally, the 3 stooges like tumbling after plays are over looks ridiculous. You guys have implemented a very good new physics system that goes haywire after a play is over. That has to be corrected before the 28th. It looks looney tunes out there.

I signed up for this forum tonight to post this one thread because this Madden has a chance to have almost perfect gameplay, but those issues standout like a lime green Lamborghini. A guy in the impressions thread posted, "Guys this is football!" I totally agree with this statement. But these issues make it look iPhone NFL game.

Early impressions:

Commentary is horrible. Horrible horrible horrible. I had the same multisentence line repeated on back to back plays, and a lot of stuff is still out of place.

Players tripping over eachother is funny the first time. Not so much the fifth.

Presentation is decent. I like the stat overlays.

The infinity engine is pretty cool. Need to spend more time with it.

It'll all come down to CC for me as far as buy/no buy though. This didn't tell me a whole lot.

Then a couple plays later, another WOW moment happened. Lynch got the ball off tackle to the right. Well my DE was pancaked at the snap and the OL went to block someone else. Well Lynch with no vision tries to run through the hole but falls over my DE who was on the ground. It really was a touchdown saving tackle if thats what you want to call it because Lynch was about 10 yards away from the endzone with nobody in front of him.

I was happy that it happened but I will be extremely pissed if I was the one running

Really liked the feel of the game. Destroyed the Giants but Eli ripped me up completing 20 outta 23 passes. They still couldn't manage to make it count and score. Player models and physics seem great. I'm honestly excited about this game for the first time since PS2 days.

Played a few downs and liked it so far. Really liking the run blocking over NCAA. The NCAA run blocking is a joke by comparison. It looks like they took the blocking from NCAA 12 and put in it Madden 13.

Running has been meh for me, there was a time where I trucked a guy with Lynch and it was awesome but otherwise it hasn't gone well for me. However that's fine with me with how easy it was run the ball in M12, I much prefer to air it out and can't wait to get my hands on the Saints with the new passing game that has worked well for me in NCAA
