Honestly the gameplay feels like 11 and 12 and I don't see any physics type animations that make me say wow. The kinect works ok but saying things like "audible" never works well for me. Maybe there will be a patch out to fix this by launch. The commentary is very good and a upgrade from last years game.

No major glitches that i noticed which is nice compared to the mess from NCAA 13. The passing is so much fun and the receiver catching animations have a nice variety. I need more time with this demo to give an honest fair review. But with time with the demo i am sure to love this game just as much as Madden 10.

Had a play where I was running towards the end zone and got tackled about three yards from the goal line but the defender brought me down on top of his body and i rolled over him, never touched the ground, and went into the end zone and it was a TD. it was nice... and I love the contact when diving over the line into the end zone. got leveled in midair and flipped me all around..

Something I have never seen in Madden: I was the Giants and was Eli rolling to the right at the opponents 20-25 yard line. Pressure started to build and I was getting chased toward the sideline. I saw one of my receivers running parallel to me at the goal line. He was open but there were defenders 5-10 yards in front of him. I let it fly and tried to put some touch on it....but since I was running it floated a bit. A safety came up and jumped and swatted it, but the ball came down and one of my other receivers scooped it up (ala Franco Harris immaculate recptop style) at the 3 and scooted in for the TD. It was awesome!!!

I've been playing Madden for years and have the general impression that things like this never happen after a tipped ball. It seemed like 99 out of 100 times once a ball was batted, the play was basically over. This looks promising.

that was one of the first IE related animations that had me dropping my controller the first time i saw it. Had a guy roll over a player into the endzone for a TD.

just downloaded the M13. Right away a few thoughts. Love the new opening and the menu setup! Gamespeed is to fast at this setting. Graphis have an arcadish quality. play by play for the gaem has been outstanding! Everything said has pertained to plays in the game. Animations are very fluid. Again, speed is arcadey (But I am used to playing the college game on very slow).

# 346 AlmostLikeFlacco @ 08/14/12 03:14 PM

Just saw something that looked pretty good to me.

On a run straight up the middle I went to hurdle over a downed D-lineman and ended up jumping into the back of my blocker. Needless to say, I was tackled right there. Still, it looked realistic.

So is slow or very slow game speed the way to go this year?

Geez maybe by 3pm et it will be available for ps3

At least I finally figured out what this screen was all about, I had been trying to figure this out ever since Trey showed us this in May and the Madden developers never really told me.

Well first off I would say I enjoyed the demo but only thing I think needs tuning is the physics system. I understand the build we are playing is not the final version but its something that still needs to be worked and I hope they did on the final version. Sometimes the physics looks really good and sometimes it likes damn near cartoonish. I agree with one of the members on the board about some tackles the players are just bashing together not even rapping up and tackling I've seen it a couple of times already.

It's probably worth mentioning that Sony currently has a big press conference going on right now at Gamescom, and plans to update their blog with news from that right after it ends. I'm guessing the store publish won't be too far behind.

I like the game. I'll probably buy the game. That being said...

I would like the CPU to put 8,9 guys in the box if I'm running great. I want to see more pressure from the CPU and human teams. QBs sit in the pocket for way too long. And unbelievably, their quarterbacking is still not great. If a CPU has that much time to go through reads, he should be tearing me up. At the very least create something with his feet. That being said coverage holds for way too long. And I guess that helps offset the time in the pocket, but still. Down field is way too crowded on early downs. Receivers need to be more aggressive while the ball is in air. I want to see realistic placement on throws. Not just throw it to where he is. I want to see automatic placement. Back shoulder throws, and such. Could we possibly add 400+deflection animations from DBs? All I seem to see it swats and interceptions. I want to see INTs when DB jumps a route, or happens to be in the zone. Rarely do you see a 5'11 180 DB make the more aggressive move on the ball. Big WRs and TEs need to use their size more. And I want to see an honest to God pocket develop where there's consistent pressure from the outside. I want to see tackles and guards pushed into the QB's face/back/whatever. That's my rant grammar be damned.

Decent demo.

I have to go to work at 8 pm and it's going to take like an hour for me to download so they need to hurry the hell up.

It was hard tackling on all madden and the hit stick didn't work for my 90 HP SS. I'm gonna play it on the next difficulty down in a little while and give my impression on that difficulty mode. The game was pretty good. I had no user pics and was in position a couple times. I turned auto strafe off and lined up for the int and pressed Y but I didn't get the pic. Could be because I was out of position or ALL MADDEN. I DO NOT like the menu that comes up on the bottom right when I'm strafing pre play. DO NOT! I liked sharing my game on twitter. I thought that was very cool. Play action was not working for me but that could have been many factors. I was just trying out a lot of different plays so I didn't get the time to diagnose everything. I passed out of shotgun 95% of the time and didn't have a lot of success. Could be because I'm not used to the game yet and wasn't paying attention all to well, or ALL MADDEN is that tuff. I don't know yet. Curls worked pretty effectively. I only ran a couple draws out of shotgun but I got stuffed. I'm eager to play this on a lower level now that I see what ALL MADDEN is like. I LOVE the madden 10 controls and set them after the first play. I HATE the strategy pad. I thought that the new animations were pretty sweet and like that real time physics is now in the game. It's about time. Didn't get a chance to see a bunch of new catch animations but I only played two games. I'll report more later. The Game seems pretty sweet and I will be getting it the week it comes out.

How did you share your game on twitter?.It did not give me that option in the game I played...

First time DLing a demo from the PSN? They usually update in the evening between 4-7 PM EST. That said this isn't the pine for the PS3 demo thread. It is the impressions thread. So lets keep it to impressions going forward. Thanks.
