Oh, Ive just really started getting into NCAA 13, I dont want to find it difficult to go back to!! At the same time I really really wanna feel this game, as usual, Madden will prevail! Hope it's as good as people been saying. Madden 12 was deff a step in the right direction but I want it to be more than that and finally it looks like this is going to be the year!

And you aren't a computer...so you'll find an effective D versus it.

Just had a great game playing as the 49ers against the giants lost in overtime because of challenges by the giants that got huge plays overturned loving this game so far!

I have seen it a couple of times against me.

Sorry for the change of subject but if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. The demo isn't in any of the categories when I go to download it. I have to search it in the Bing search function X360 has. I click on it and it says Error Code 800700E8 or something like that. I'm able to download other things but not the Madden Demo. Anyone know what's up?

Do you have Gold?

Just had a weird moment.

Playing my first game as the Skins and am up 14-13 after making a go ahead FG. With about a minute to go the Seahawks drive down the field and eventually get to my 15 with the last 10 seconds of the game ticking away.

Here's where it goes bad. The Seahawks have 1 TO left and no-huddle into the spike formation. Realizing what they're going to do, I begin to accept my defeat. Flynn let's the clock tick down to 0:05 and they call a timeout. Here comes the FG crew right? Nope! They run an off-tackle run and the clock drains to zero and I win.

I'm hopeful this will be fixed (or already has been) before release.

Other than that, I'm loving this demo. Played that game and one as the 49ers and you can really tell the difference between the two defenses.

Haven't really cared for Madden in the last few years. I actually forgot I had 2012 until I gave up on NBA 2k12. The hype of this game had me up early to test it and after one game I am sure I will purchase this game as soon as I see it. It's almost like its a mix of Madden and another football game. This game is enjoyable as hell and now I propounded won't finish my 2nd ncaa rtg season to capture the Heisman. The crowd is very involved and the momentum of the ball carrier is evident(Jacobs). Graphics are purty as ever and I wish ncaa got the same treatment but whatta ya gonna do. I also love the physics although I did see a tackle that seemed a bit 2012ish. I saw a lot of after play shenanagins alla Benny Hill/3 Stooges. After 1 game I give it a 9 easlily and the full game with connected careers might put it way over the top but again it is just one game.

Great year for sports gamers ,
War the 2KSPORTS division of Electronic Arts ,
OpSpo is the shhh....

ch46647 "overall gameplay it is very smooth and overall a much better game of football then we have had in the last few years in Madden. This is the first year that I legitimately think there is a VERY good foundation to build off. "

This is the most important thing to me Foundation. If they are finally moving in the right direction I will be more than happy with that. I enjoy a lot about Madden but it hasn't truly felt like realistic football. With the improvements this year and hopefully fix the OL/DL next year and it would almost be perfect. Finally fix the d@mn way that players run and it would be a godsend.

No, does it take more time if you don't? When does it come out if I don't have Gold? Thanks for responding.

I dont know when it comes out for silver users, but you cant download now if you dont have gold. I assume it will be availible for silver users in a couple of weeks.............Im only assuming in that time frame.

I think you are missing the point..............

Other than the dumbing down of my offensive line the Read Option was fairly effective on All Madden provided you made the right read.

This is ******** why EA did not put in coaching strategies. I don't want my DE guessing, I would tell him to take the QB and smack him every play. Kind of ******** EA would put in option plays and not let the defense decide whether to commit on the QB or not. Defense will have to user the weak side DE and try to give a cloud read.

Too far away before ball is hiked, players look like Ants. Audio much better. Cut scenes were great! Captured the NFL well. Nicely done. Only complaint is needed a 3rd person speaking voice over during halftime video cut scene. Besides the bad camera view very good job IMO. If they fix the camera, I'd give presentation a 8.5-9.

Hit the right trigger and the camera will zoom back in.

I am liking these reviews so far... keep them coming. It's nice to see someone else validate what I've been feeling about this title for 5 months now. It's not your momma's Madden and I think they are REALLY taking steps forward this year.

It's nice that the IE is tuned, I was worried it might be to free or too locked down.. A nice balance was what I had hoped for this implementation.

Keep 'em coming...

I'm loving the demo so far, but I had a pair of AI blunders that kinda took me out of it too. The first was when I had a first-and-goal at the 1. I come out in goal line, prepared to just use Marshawn to bruise his way in. Defense comes out in prevent. The announcer even says, "The Redskins going to the prevent to not give up the big play" or something like that. Obviously Marshawn walks into the end zone untouched.

The second time was near the end of the game, Washington just scored a TD and found themselves down 13. There was about 50 seconds left and they only had 1 timeout. I lined up prepared to field the onside kick, and they kick it deep. So I just run out the clock.

But other than those two, the demo has been fantastic. Usually an NCAA guy, I skipped 13 this year because it felt too much like 12 on the demo. THIS is actually a forward progression for a franchise, and this is why I'll spend my $60 on Madden this year.

Oh geez I didn't know that. I was able to play the NCAA 13 demo the day it came out. I didn't try downloading it this early though. Maybe I'll get gold at some point, I need to get it anyway for Madden. Thanks again, bro.

Nothing but positives after playing a quick quarter and change before heading to work:

-I like how the physics are tuned. The interactions are more organic without an overdone ragdoll effect

-Saw some nice sideline awareness where I threw an out route to Sidney Rice and he slowed down to make the catch before going out of bounds

-The running game felt good

-I need more time to judge the OL/DL play, but it seems improved

-The commentary is a nice improvement. I much prefer the smooth deliveries of Nance and Simms vs. the grating mess that was Ramsey and Collinsworth

Overall, I can't wait to kick back and play some more tonight. I am really excited for the full game.
