This I've noticed above all. The juke button is useless when using someone like LaMichael James. I get better elusive actions when I mess around with the left stick instead.

anybody that has played the 360 and ps3 demos notice any major
Differences such as graphics, control...smooth gameplay?

The IE is really leaving me scratching my head..they left out other features bc the claimed they werent ready to be added because they werent perfect. The new engine looks far from perfect and almost takes the realism and immersion out of the game.

Does anyone know how old the demo build is?

I don't remember not being able to differentiate between the receiver and the defender at any time during a game in prior Madden titles. M13 is super dark, IMO, compared to prior Madden titles, so maybe they went a little overboard with a new lighting mechanic?

still some lingering issues though
A. lighting during Redskins/Seahawks game a couple times couldnt tell which team was which

[assclown25]

sorry and on a few plays reciever got near sidlines and didnt drag feet. looks beautiful though

i wish it had replays so i could show you guys these amazing 2 plays..

1: Threw a streak to randy moss and he caught it and was pulled down and he just rolled forward and got up and scored!!!

2: RO with RG3 and Helu Defense bit and off for a 90yad gallop with 6 broken tackles

overall demo is 9/10
only problem is the domino effect after plays...

it might be worse this year, but for the past like 8 years i remember playing games in sunny conditions and the graphics/brightness/colors looking great while driving the field one way and dark/shadowy/grey/dull driving the field the other direction. I never got why they think shadows are like this
