I was having problems running in NCAA 13 before the last patch. It maybe something the madden team is aware of already and will be fixed in the retail version. This will be first madden I have purchased in over 10 years.

I found the constant falling down of players after the whistle to be quite funny. But to be honest, I'm not digging the new engine so far.

The series legacy issues remain a major obstacle to the enjoyment I get out of the game....

The Madden Fatigue has finally even overcome the football nut inside me

I wont rehash the Legacy issues, the OS Roundtable did a good job detailing my gripes with them.
http://www.operationsports.com/featu...ns-roundtable/
They are going to have to be fixed for me to truly get pumped about the series again

This game is not a good sim of the sport yet, We just have to pray this new team is committed to making it be one....And wants to do more then just stick to the Madden version of football

With that said there are some things I'll be looking forward to seeing grow from here

*Infinity If you can withstand the Legacy issues then this tech provides a legitimate ooh and awe aspect of the game...Yes theres some wonkiness but it looks like they've begun the process of really making this a special treat for the series moving forward....because with time its only going to get better and should be looking really good for 14...One of my fav moments from the demo was when Bradshaw was tackled at the Goal line and there was the moment of "Does he have enough to get in"... Bradshaw was laying on One defender who had had his legs wrapped up and then his torso slowly slid/fell forward enough off the other defender for the ball to barely cross the plane

*Revamped Catching/Passing...Provided they don't take away sig throwing motions...This series desperately needs just a massive influx of animations like what was done here.... Im hoping the same(Add about 500 new Animations) can be done for OL/DL in 14

*Presentation By in large I like what they did with the CBS style feel and the audio is at least solid this year with it hopefully being truly elite in 14

The cleaned up field also look great

But please for the love of God stick to what the Pro Broadcasters showed you EA!!!!! Don't try an alter/ add your own artistic feel to the camera cuts
Stick to the basics of what everybody sees when they turn on their tubes to watch their pig skin

I've been successful running the ball actually. I do alot of draw plays. I even managed to break a 89 yard TD with Bradshaw on a Power O to the right side. (using kingrealistic's madden 13 sliders). Although I do get stuffed sometimes, I still manage to get realized run averages.

Like I said earlier in the thread, on default All-Maddeb I can get successful runs with stretch plays, power o's, and I've also had success with HB Base out of the shotgun.[/quote]

Don�t use auto turbo.
Hit the turbo when you hit he hole, not before.

Good luck

people need to watch the madden 13 retail videos on youtube. the falling over and wierd animations after plays have been limited. looks a heck of a lot better. plus therea vids of gameplay with the new zoomed in camera angle and it looks amazing.

For running. But it sucks for passing plays.

I found running with Gore inside the tackles is a hit or miss, just like the NFL. I have adjusted sliders, too.

Maybe I'm naive, but this exactly what I love about this demo, no one is going to break or have a perfect lane all gm long. That's why rushing avgs are what they are now, I'm sure the percentage of running thru the middle for.more that 5yds a carry without falling is very, very small.

Some of these complaints about the run game seem to me like its gonna do more damage than any good. It plays out Mich more better than it ever has for madden and I'm cool with that.

While that may have been limited, it looks to me like IE has been scaled back to much. The tackles look like madden 12 and there is no upradictability. and the players have no ragdoll effect to them.....Looks bad if you ask me.

My biggest complain with Madden 13 so far is the cheap Cpu play late in each half. I was playing on All Pro leading 10-7 with under 2 minutes to go facing a 3rd & 7. I tried a quick slant play and my QB was drilled by two Giants D linemen who seemingly came through untouched. The play resulted in a fumble which was run in for a TD.My O line controlled three quarters, but couldn't contain Tuck especially in th 4th. The exact opposite for my D line, which had sacked Eli 5 times through 3, didn't touch him in the 4th.

Damn really?

Could of sworn this stuff happens in real life, remember the giants troubled and plagued season? This is what football is all about, your team got too comfortable and so did you, should ran the ball and played accordingly.

This type of stuff is the very reason we get crappy games, some makes a bad playcall decison, pays for it and them comes complaining and making it an issue with the game and not himself!

You should of chose a better way of approaching that situation, I don't mean to sound so harsh but I am truly starting see what everyone else is seeing and saying about stuff like this. This was clearly YOUR fault!

Have you considered adjusting the game speed. . .slowing it down if you haven't already? My first two games (playing on All-Pro) saw results similar to yours. . .and playing with a slider set with very, very low run settings produced roughly the same. But once I dropped the speed, I found my ypc with Gore hitting upper 5's. In fact, I drove half the length of the field running behing my center. . .without a single pass. As for increasing the CPU's production. . .hmm. I recall that in one or two games Bradshaw tore me up with my slider set. . .so probably a combo of slower speed and sliders might resolve it?

Maybe on this play/game, but fumbles seem to happen for the cpu at the most opportune time. If not from my QB, then my RB or during a punt return. I took a risk because one first down and I could have safely run out the clock. It was just how fast their d line was getting to the point of attack felt cheap. I'm not one that generally complains of such a thing. I know momentum is HUGE in sports.

Yes, momentum is huge and this is a welcomed addition, it may seem cheap sometimes but its what I see on Sundays sometimes, peoples are trying to win lol.

It's all good.

I don't know. Starting running backs averaging 2.7 YPC is the damage.

And remember, I'm not just talking about myself. I'll get better.

It's the CPU that concerns me. I'm still trying to improve on defense and I'm already destroying the CPU's run game, and this has been a regular thing for me recently in this series.

I want to see these guys get consistent yards.

I think the defense needs some tweaking. This game is designed for the offense to put up major points! I want to see better reactions by corners...especially on deep routes.

Agreed, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

OS anyone else having issues shading the wrs? It seems to not let me and the menu for it just sits there unresponsive until I back out of it. It would really help in the demo.

Also if we can get this passed on, the QB ran 4 curls on me, I see this as a major cheese problem online as I tried it against a friend with multiple looks and it was like 08-09 all over again.

I never played a madden demo this much ecer, feels like I'm spoiling myself.
