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

No responses to my earlier post stating unneccesary roughness call when a CPU player hit me out of bounds? I thought this was a great new addition but nobody even commented. Has anyone else seen this?

I understand the new physics engine probably leaves less room for detail but I felt like I was playing Madden 2001 on a low end family PC (which I did back in the day).The game also felt way too slow which could be due to all the NCAA I've been playing as of late but it just doesn't feel right. The change in commentators, along with their digital versions, is welcome but they're still innaccurate (to be expected I suppose) but the all blue style leaves much to be desired even if the intention is to look more like CBS. Hopefully I'll get used to the changes and understand them more with some more play-throughs but right now this feels like a big transition edition of the game that will hopefully improve as it carries over to the next generation.

The uniforms and field lighting are not to my liking for Washington. I hate playing on that field already.

i agree, but i wasn't expecting the engine to be perfect.

worst thing i think i've noticed are the tackles. They look awful. I was not impressed with the collision/physics system at all because guys were bouncing off each other, guys were getting tackled at hardly any contact, players constantly tripping after the play. Totally disappointed with it.

Yep...it is a major letdown. It really takes away from a lot of the positive improvements they made. I am holding out hope this area get's tuned better for retail, because the demo's tackling is downright sloppy IMO. Good lord I want Madden to be great again.

Meantime NCAA 13 is a heck of game. Go figure.

just had the worst interception call against and it wasn't even reviewed (under 2 minutes I couldn't challenge). He was out of bounds when he caught it.....come on EA
