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

[WoOkiE FTW]

The demo has solidified my choice to take my money that I've paid on my pre-order and transfer it over to my Assassin's Creed 3 pre-order. Did not like it at all.

played 1 game and i must say i am really impressed with the infinity engine. little things like hitting a big lineman and you see the rb's body slighly twist and glance off. i saw the giants penetrate on a goal line stance and take gore out at the knees and it was a thing of beauty. I saw so many little things that just left me enjoying the game.

I enjoyed the audio, the commentary was spot on and the crowd noise was better than 12.

Game speed on default was way to fast but playing on very slow felt right.

overall this game is heading in the right direction, really excited since i passed on NCAA this year.

Why is Victor Cruz so dark?

Does anyone notice that when you kick a portion of the meter lights up for a spit second? What is that for?

The running game is tuff, watch out for legs or you will stumble. Holes open and close like doors, some times all you get is a crack. I'm loving the game but at the same time I' wishing it would hurry up and release so we can get franchise going Lol

Using this logic, it would be year one to any new feature or engine which should give them plenty of time to "fix the impossible task of programming a game to respect simple physics and football". Commentation, presentation, and the crowd ARE ALL GIMMICKS that are neither priority or secondary in the game of football.

So you expected the infinity engine to be 100% perfect? Despite all of the other overhauls they had to do to this game, did you REALLY think that it was going to be great the first time around? Name one thing that worked perfectly the first time around in ANY sports game? Even 2k had it's fair share of problems in the early stages of their work. Yes, Madden is a 24-year-old franchise, but you're acting as if they were working on the real time physics the entire time. They just now decided to put it into their game, and while it's long overdue, it wasn't going to be perfect the first time around. Nothing is.

Btw, you may think all of those things are gimmicks, but personally I believe they ARE a big priority to football games as it's something we see on TV when watching the games.

The only issue I personally have seen is late-game playcalling; up 13-10 on the Niners with less than a minute left, the Niners proceeded to run the clock out with a couple draw plays. That's pretty egregious, mind you, but that's the only fault I can find. This demo, to me, is fantastic. The 24th can't get here soon enough!

You are going to like Madden no matter what, it could be strait trash and you would still like Madden.

I'm glad one guy replied earlier but is no one else having the lighting problem? I honestly can't tell who from who when passing. One time I was actually covering the referee on a pass play!

I'm hoping this gets tuned because besides that I am really loving the demo.
