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

[tanner75]

After having played the demo some more, i'm really liking it. The things that annoyed me in 12 are gone, no more super linebackers, no loud audio popping noise, no more shockingly poor commentary, much better looking turf. Also playing on slow or very slow, think i prefer slow, with slider adjustments makes it a whole new game. I have seen penalties that i haven't been seeing before pass interference being the main one. Loving all the stadium sounds - zombie nation , we will rock you, song 2 etc. My only gripes are the sound effect of some of the hits sound awful, like a bang on a giant drum or something, also the colours in the redskin game, though this could be due to those ugly throwback unis. Overall i am looking forward to release and some impressio

There is also ober the top praises as well. Anyways the demo is all I need for my Madden fix, well when I rent it actually. Game Breaker here I come.

Why is starting the kick meter so delayed? It's very frustrating.

I have not enjoyed a football game this much since 2k8, it's not perfect but at least the play outcomes are not as scripted or predictable. I've managed to get the computer to run the ball effectively with some slider tweaks. It seems that the computer runs the ball better on normal speed, on slow speed my DE/OLB was making too many tackles on runs up the middle.

very excited after the demo. I dont know what a lot of you guys are talking about, the game seems to be greatly improved on all fronts i have only played 4 games but each of them has shown a lot of bright spots and few issues. I am on bated breath

I came to mention one thing. If you're expecting this game to "wow" you without adjusting the sliders, you will be disappointed. As someone who NEVER adjusted sliders and played Madden out the box, I too would be disappointed. However, I took the time to grab a set from the Slider Forum and instantly loved the game.

I have not purchased a madden game since I started purchasing NCAA series and NCAA gamebreaker series back in the day but I may be purchase on release this year. I really like the game. The commentary and Infinitety engine make the feel fluid but I noticed clown like actions of the players bumping into each other. I would say the defense needs attention because the corners and safties dont respond well to balls in the air in all madden mode but overall good game.

After a few demo games I have to say I am impressed. There are clearly some odd animations post-play but during the game it feels like a more organic experience. Fumbles particularly felt like they would in a real game which is a nice touch. I have seen some great tackles and catches as well as actually having a screen pass work like it should (but by no means automatic).

I know not everyone will like it (and with the exclusive license issue that will probably never happen) but it feels like a strong step in the right direction.

Finally, kudos for releasing such a complete demo. With the longer quarters and full commentary it is a much better representation of what the game will be. Hopefully this trend continues for EA and others.
