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

[Pappy Knuckles]

I've been getting smashed by the CPU on All-Madden. I just lost to the Redskins 28-7. Roy Helu Jr. went crazy on me with 179 yards on 9 carries. He was bouncing off my guys left and right. I had a pretty solid game with Russell Wilson though despite taking an L. The first thing I did was take Flynn out and put him in. I'm gonna give All-Madden some more burn, but my defense really isn't up to the challenge right now.

GUYS!!! GUYS!!! GUYS!!! GUYS!!! GUYS!!! GUYS!!! GUYS!!!

GUYS!!!

I reealized that the old glith on punt returns and kick returns where you run around the field by going in circles works TOO EASILY!!

I TRIED ON A PUNT REURN on the FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME and it worked and I WON!!!

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.

They didn't touch foot planting this year, possibly next year.

Just played a few games and I'm kinda so-so about purchasing this game. This game may be a breath of fresh air from all the other Maddens, but compairing this game to all the other sports games in terms of authenticity to the sport, like NBA 2K13, FIFA, NHL 13 and MLB The Show. Madden is still light years behind before having their game represent the football sport at the level of those games.

EA Tiburon gets no free pass from me. This generation was utterly wasted because of EA Tiburon poor development of the Madden series. This the game we should of gotten at least 4 years ago. Tiburon has been with EA for over 15 years. They have made good games in the past, but time has passed them by. EA won't let them go because they have made alot of money for them, but it clearly show that their development team lacks the talent to produce at the level the other devs at other studios are producing for their games.

The infinity engine in my opinion is just band aid. It don't have a huge impact in the gameplay like they are hyping it up to be. It just makes gang tackles look a lot prettier. Weight still doesn't matter. In one of my games. I hit stick the TE with a DB and he flew 5 years back like the DB had super strength. Oline play has not changed since madden back in the PS2 days. The only positives that I can say is that the catch animations are great.

The players still move robotic like. That's my main pet peeve. I know it's a video game, but if I see other games like MLB the show, NBA 2K, and APF 2K8 make their player move life like.. Why can't Madden do the same? It's inexcusable.

I'm just tired of Madden being behind everyone else. I just want a good football experience like i used to have back in 2003-2004. I enjoyed both Madden and NFL 2K4 and 5. I miss those days. It makes the football season even more enjoyable. This is not a trolling post this is my honest impression and rant.

Did we really need this? Its not an impression and every one knows of this age old cheese tactic.

And no I am not debating this with you. We don't need it.

I am up 9-3 in the 4th, cpu makes a FG then onside kicks it. About 7 seconds left they have no time outs.. and they run the ball up the middle, game over.

He's crazy good. Every game I've faced against him he's torched me on the ground. He just bounces off people like a bowling pin

That moment when you throw to a wide open WR and it hits him in the back because he never turns around to look for it
