I think what's killing me is that it's still the Madden engine feel. I really thought this new physics addition (that's what it is, it is not an entirely new engine) would calm the players down some. Instead you have these players flopping around all over the place in very odd scenarios. I had one defender get knocked to the ground and his whole body did a 180. he was flat and just quickly spun. you mix that with the players just moving in all kinds of weird ways and it just isn't easy on the eyes.

I was just hoping that jittery, frantic Madden touch would be gone.

anyone else noticing assisted tackles not working this year in the statistics? getting 0's across the board.

Downloading now thanks! ps3 version.

Lost in Overtime on my first attempt with the 49ers Giants lineups...

Great game but Manning beat me in the end. Loved the game. Physics during hits are crazy. Commentary is excellent but a tad repetitive on a few comments.

But overall its a great game, controls are fine, I see a few changes to the play system I will have to get use to before really going into a Dynasty...But I love this game....

I guess we'll know next Friday for sure, but I talked to a guy on Twitter who played the full version at EA two weeks ago and he said in 2 full days of gameplay he only saw that weird flopping type stuff happen two times. He said the replays are way better in the full version and the physics have been tightened up a good bit. We don't have a definite idea of what build the demo is but I talked to Shopmaster and he said it played like the build he played in June at the community event.

How do I say this, lets see, Tackles appear more elastic? Body animations appear different upon impact than last year.

There's an awareness.

Unbelievable...demo froze

# 391 2krunk4u @ 08/14/12 03:57 PM

Yessssss ps3 version is out. Type it in the search feature.

But damnit now I have to go to work.

Damn you Sony!

# 392 TheBMarshall15 @ 08/14/12 03:58 PM

any update on when the ps3 version will be up?

# 393 ChicagoChris @ 08/14/12 03:58 PM

First time I loaded Madden up in many years and didn't turn the commentary off. It's very solid. Others have said it is repetitive but I don't really see that.

Things I noticed: realistic diving catches by wideouts, running backs slipping down on carries, nice tackling, crowd is aware (crowd was roaring as I was driving as the skins and went dead when i threw a pick six), less 'kill' tackles. Special teams seems untouched

M13 kind of gives me that organic feeling I have been wanting. Good job guys!

# 394 ajk49er @ 08/14/12 03:59 PM

other than the issue with defensive stats(asst tackles) and FAR too many fumbles on special teams, im loving it. the gameplay itself which is really what one should be looking at in a demo is darn good. Im enjoying the WR's this year, the good one's are ridiculous. the CPU has even done a decent job with eli to cruz against me and made some really big plays. Im loving the tackling, the running will take some getting used to.

the crowd to me is one of the biggest improvements. finally hearing a "roar" instead of silence when you score a touchdown is nice.

it just has a better feel, also doesnt have that sort of empty presentation from last year. announcers are a huge improvement which obviously isnt saying much but it still is something. I cant wait for the release, every play has been different for me, the end around is now pretty darn good without being a bit cheesy, I like the game, it has more of a sim feel that I think once I use sliders will give a better game than 12 by far.

NVM its UP on PS3!!!

Yes you have to be a gold member to access the demo, I found the demo through searching on the live marketplace but i got the error message when attempting to download since im just a live member and not a gold member SMH.

Can someone from EA confirm that the madden 12 close up shots are still in the game? I am hoping this is just a limitation of the demo, because I am not seeing them.....

# 399 ajk49er @ 08/14/12 04:04 PM

dlk-sorry updated for clarity, the assisted tackles arent recording, which is pretty darn important to tackle totals.

# 400 NikeBlitz @ 08/14/12 04:05 PM

Overall i like it. WR/DB interactions are top notch. The passing game solid just like NCAA. Phil and Jim sounds great ...

Cameras angles on replays are very very BAD. Every year they're supposed to work with broadcaster like ESPN,Fox ... right ? Well it doesn't feel like.

The game speed is crazy. Even slow is messed up imo. Gonna try very slow.
