One of my favorite games of all time is Virtua Fighter 5. In that game, they have an arcade mode that lets you play from real people some of the best in the world (recorded from actual arcade cabinets and pro competitions), and they recorded their play styles so you were getting a better challenge than playing the cpu which was admittedly cheap on higher difficulties (Dural the end boss has everyone's moves) and it saves the offline player from having to deal with cheap online tactics. Madden should implement something like this for each team that way each team doesn't seem like it plays the same. That's really the problem with Madden in a nutshell. It can look pretty from sun up till sun down, but the AI in all facets acts like a dumb blond. Thats the real reason Madden doesn't ever feel different to the offline player. Or am I the only player that plays with house rules in order to get any enjoyment out of the game?

Im not impressed. Felt like the same game as 12 with new animations being used and even worse looking player models. After MLB The Show, my standards for sports games kind of rose and I know Madden isn't there but they have been going in the right direction.

I think it was just it being a demo but it felt like a slightly polished version of Madden 12. Too choppy, too sloppy, etc. I do believe the actual game will feel a lot better and I'm definitely going to get it whether it be new or used and try it out. Just don't think the demo was good. Most demo's dont appeal to me

WOW! Just fired up the Demo fir a 2nd go round, and right off the bat I'm annoyed. First play from the Giants (CPU) and he throws one over the middle. MY DB seemingly has the WR blanketed, but what do ya know?

The vaunted ICE SKATING animation returns!

The WR slides an extra 2 or 3 yards to make the grab, rather than it be an incompletion or mislead by the QB. Or, make a great catch by the receiver, or a swat down by the DB whipping his arm in front of the receiver. DON'T START THIS ICE SKATING GARBAGE ALL OVER AGAIN!!. This company just doesn't get it right.

Its funny how i think some of these guys play the demo to look for the negative aspects rather than the good; doesn't amaze me though!

I'm tired of the sliders altering the difficulty setting. It makes ZERO sense for the AI difficulty to change if I move a slider. Why does the AI suddenly have to become blithering morons just because I want to give my offensive line a bump?

Sliders should be 100% independent of AI intelligence.

This last part of this thread has turned into it's not, it is thread.

Not what a demo thread is for, folks.

Best advice and suggestion would be to move on, as your opinions have been shared repeatedly.

I would like to see more opinions on the demo, not what the game should or shouldn't be.

Thanks.

I'm really loving this game on all-madden. It's difficult, but I haven't encountered any unrealistic plays. With the right playcalling you can really have success. I like it alot. In other madden games, all-madden just frustrates me.

I still don't really like all-madden. All-pro is a bit on the easy side for me but I prefer playing on all-pro than all-madden.

The perfect thing for me would be a difficulty setting that's in between all-pro and all-madden.
