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

[DSFL]

People are talking about the demo like its a beta version. I think you guys forget that the game drops in less than 2 weeks. Do you really think they are going to fix all the major issues? Set your expectations accordingly as some of you who state "its just the demo" are going to be very disappointed when the game is released.

Yes it is a demo, do you think the demo is made from the final build sent to be manufactured? I highly doubt it and that some of the issues expressed might have already been fixed/addressed.

Wow, that has to be the worst review I have ever read. I disagree with just about every thing you said. The game does have things that need to be fixed, but I think EA did a very fine job on 13.

We've been asking for physics. They give us physics and they get bashed for it. It's either not good enough or should have already had it years ago (I guess NBA 2K should have had it years ago too). We ask for better presentaion. They've made leaps in this department the last 2 years, but they get bashed for it. Darned if they do and darned if they don't. EA just can't win.

I honestly don't understand all the hate in this thread. Many years this game has been, well............. just plain bad. Madden is moving in the right direction, but many have nothing good to say at all about the demo. How in the world could someone not see any positives from this years game? If you can't enjoy this years game, then I guess you'll never enjoy a football game ever.

EA isn't getting bashed for implementing RTP, they are getting bashed for a poor implementation of it. RTP does not effect movement, meaning players can change direction at any angle with no issues. This is not RTP, this is arcadey nonsense. Tackling physics aren't realistic, its arcadey nonsense.

The only thing missing from this game is Jim Nantz screaming "BOOM SHACKALACKA!!!" because there is nothing "real" about this game.

Also, I have and do enjoy football games plenty. Madden is not a football game. Its an abomination, a Frankenstein's monster of sports video games that unfortunately has the exclusive license of being called an NFL game.

A little exaggeration never hurt anyone I guess...

I don't know if this has been asked,
But when you edit the User Sliders to adujust them,
Why does the Gameplay Menu say your on Rookie setting?

Pros
Passing is better
Physics Finally
Presentation Better

Cons
Zig Zag Running
Blocking
AI Play Calling

Im still on the fence about this game but at least they are moving in the right direction.

dont really like this game the physics engine is kinda dumb after play is over players are tripping over each other which is annoying an if running back runs into one of his linemen he falls right down i seen that in the seattle vs washington game.. looks like the physics engine still need to be worked on more also need work on a better tackle engine too

Real foot planting needs to be in the game. I'm not sure how hard this is to do, I'm not a developer lol but I would like to see this. However, I am happy about the progress that has been made and I'm hoping that things like this will be worked on for next year. Heres to hoping!
