I have just played one game but I like it so far. The commentary is among the best we have seen from EA and the presentation overall is nice.

It's early but I felt as though the coverage was better although All-Madden was easy by default. The run game was easier early when I was mixing it up but difficult late in the game when they knew I was running.

I loved the player models and colors. They really stood out. Most of the animations wee good, especially the players sucking under tackles. The collision system isn't perfect but it's a good base. There are done wonky animations but I can live with them for one year or until a patch arrives as long as the gameplay is smooth and the features work correctly.

Overalls, I was impressed initially. I'll probably find some things I don't like the more I pay. However, I definitely think we are on the right track with the new engine.

I've never seen a glitch or something that wasn't work correctly ever be fixed in the final version.

If it's in the demo, it's always been in the final version.

People go through phases with these games.

Phase 1. Complain. Pick it apart. Say it sucks.
Phase 2. Try to find good things. Say it's starting to show promise.
Phase 3. Complain and say it sucks again.

I'll wait until after day one when someone finds some ridiculous glitch and the the community tries to come up with ways to "fix" it. These usually include changing attributes, messing with sliders, deleting plays from play books, not calling certain plays, editing entire offensive lines, ect.

Far from perfect and still room for lots of improvement but seems like best madden yet. Much better than 12.

WOW! Kerrigan just bullied Lynch who was blocking right into Flynn causing him to get crushed for a sack! I wish I could have recorded that for you guys! It was awesome! Definitely my first WOW moment of Madden 13!

The thing that bugs me is that they have had 7-8 years with the license and did nothing with it.

Why are we content and satisfied hoping they are going to turn the corner with the next installment.

There is always room for improvement.

I feel like we need an entirely new engine. I don't think this infinity engine is the answer. The tackles look weird and the physics are way off.

Just the fact that Gus Johnson and Chris Collinsworth have been replaced makes this game so much better!

I forgot to mention, Seattle ran a toss play, I was controlling London Fletcher, had Lynch lined up and I took a horrible angle and ended up literally taking my teammate out of the play. I was mad at myself but it was neat to see as that has never happened before.
