Overall impressed and can see true progress, boding well for the future as we transition into next gen.

Madden 13 had a lot of silly animations (here and there) that sometimes just looked like puppets getting thrown around and it looked almost funny. I hope that was toned down and ironed out a bit. IF that is improved, I'll be happy most likely.

Least it looked to be a satifying hit eh? It'd be too easy for fumble to occur on every good hit stick hit, but it's definitely nice to see that it might make a difference this year. Hopefully more fumbles will be the reward.

not feeling this new camera angle, so far not feeling this demo. really enjoying NCAA, hoping the final product is very different and closer to NCAA

If a runner has one blocker out in front that guy negates the defender every single time. The blocker pancakes the defender, engages him, or gets beat. No matter what happens the defender is out of position and can't even attempt to make a play. When a defender is engaged with a blocker id like to see him stick his arm out or try to leap at a ball carrier.

Ive seen countless times in Madden 13 where consecutive hits happened.
As far as the second paragraph, those are the reasons that Next Gen Madden will be better. The technology is at least THERE to make things like that happen, and right now we dont know for sure that those things ARENT in the next gen game due to the fact that EA is holding back info to sell current gen copies of Madden 25.
EA already has said that the jersey and player are separate and that pulling the jersey will result in a change in balance for the opposing player,so that is a potentially huge possibility for a game changing defensive addition in NExt Gen Madden.
At least going forward, with the new tech, we are going to get a much better football game than we've ever had.
