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

[Raw Energy]

Commentary and presentation is better than previous maddens but still no home run however I do take into account this is a demo in which I don't exactly know build number. Idk if it's skating feel but d players feel lighter. Their pace should be slowed down by position/weight/spd/acc/ quickness etc.. I shouldn't be able to move a db from opposite line of scrimmage to other in same time as a lineman or lb

Couldn't run for nothing on all madden with Seahawks online most of runs outside we're blown up in backfield or right when I'm bout to turn corner even when input Leon Washington in

Liking return game actually can make some moves in get to 28-35 starting line for drive if I read blocks well etc.

Stiff arm sucks and ball should be in hand where defender is not at frustrating to try turning a corner only to have the ball in ur arm for the stiff arming

Also blocking wrs/tes should hold up their block better

Moe games you can blame both parties developers and publishers. how ever publishers do hold control on what's in game and not how much resources/time spent to spread out but since ea is an major gaming company it's no excuse. As a future game programmer shoddy coding is unacceptable although sports won't be my main genre(RPGs) for creating games I do eventually plan on doing a few especially football and I'll try to do my best to replicate a sim football since its my favorite sport. However that won't be for a few more yrs until I graduate college. It's a business as the developers probably want to create a sim game however casual fans win majority of time especially for sports fan at least with ea

So far, so good! Using my personal sliders from last year, I have had a few good games thus far. I usually play on longer quarter lengths (12-15 minutes) but I am happy my sliders translate well and are more effective than last year.

Negatives:
Ball spins the wrong direction when thrown, should be counterclockwise when throwing with a right hander. Aside from that, nothing too bad I notice. I just hope the fatigue glitch is gone and we can have real 15 min quarters in Franchise mode.

Demo Grade: A-

Great demo. Props to the EA team - you finally earned my respect. And that is hard to do since NFL 2K5 and All-Pro 2K8 - were still punishing your team for the past few Madden years.

Why is everyone so excited? EA finally delivered on their slogan, "If it's in the game...it's in the game."

A perfect example of this was my second play on offense from the gun formation with the defense in press coverage and my wide receiver sprints off the line of scrimmage, fighting the cornerback off, only to make a post pattern where another DB shades the wide receiver inside and jumps his route too early and the referee throws a flag?"

What's this? A flag is thrown? Offense or defense?

The suspense was choking me I am watching the referee jog forward to the center of the screen.

He motions his arms and says, "Defensive pass interference..."

I am definitely buying this Madden. This year the EA Madden 13 demo is not perfect, but it is a polished product that shows for the first time that EA is cleaning up its act and getting back to the years when their slogan held some meaning.

Yeah, I have seen three defensive int penaltys go against the CPU............I dont think I even had three total the entire time I had 12.

I rarely post much anymore because over the years I realize that this is just a game and will never match a game that was so glorified so many years ago. With that said, I think this Madden is the best since I have started playing madden. This is only from a demo stand piont.

Presentation: Has been a huge boost. Its a long time coming, So good job but could be better.

Gameplay: Will never get a perfect game so it was it is. Its ok. not playable as some gripe about.

Big Con: The game speed again is seriously messed up. As of right now, the slow speed gives it a nice feel. And ALL Madden is just unplayable. With sliders this may help but I am tired palying with sliders.

Gamer tag for those who may know me before I changed yaers ago was Postman17 now its NY BigBlue68. Feel free to hit me up on xbox. totally sim and love a great game of football.

Players seem too dark - I was getting a punt return and was not able to differentiate my team from the Seahawks

I would not consider that better implemented. Both have/had serious faults. I still play backbreaker to this day but would not exactly say either won the implementation prize. What I will say after thinking about it was that they did do a much better job of limiting movement within momentum constraints, but they kind of cheated. The made you round off all your cuts unless you used the juke button but it did play out more realistic that the twitch of madden. Arrggh, you are making me start to see areas ea should have had fixed even in their first go

Okay so you agree it was better prepatched. That was basically what I was refereing to. I loved how in open space the offensive player had the advantage as it should be that way. This is why when a defender makes a solid tackle in the open field its such a big deal.

In BB you can create some really nice wow moments, but I dont want to derail this thread to BB and leave it to the Madden demo.

To many it is by FAR better than any physics ever in a football game...as many have already stated in here. Yes it has issues but those are the same issues other games had and never fixed, plus there is no run up the middle and get touched, fall over...play over like others had and never were able to solve. All in all my only real negative is its too easy to pass vs cpu. Very easy actually but then again as long as it plays good head to head (which it did at EA) then I'm happy.

That silly comment there is enough for me to just walk away from having this conversation with you.

Just enjoy the game, and don't concern yourself with my thoughts and impression on the demo. I rather have a conversation with those that come across without unnecessary comments , and don't give me the impression that they are bias and have a closed mind.

You can have the final say. I'm done.
