I'm hoping I hear better stuff from you season ticket owners... To see if the demo was a farce compared to the actual game. I'm a football fan, but with only 1 option the past 8 years... I haven't seen much change. Do I want to get Madden? Yea, if it's improving on areas which have frustrated most of us all these years... Like OL/DL interactions or Jumping LB's etc. I just didn't see it in the demo, now I'm gonna wait to see what your HONEST opinions are, those of you who will DL this and play all night and all day and analyze it like you will and post your expeiriences. Me on the other hand, I have slight optimism for Madden... Can you blame me? I know no game is perfect, they all have flaws... But if it takes another year after the 8 they already had to fix these issues with gameplay then... Yea I'm jumping off the Madden bandwagon till its fixed. I won't settle anymore. Sorry guys. Hope you guys enjoy it... Hope and pray to hear change... That's why I'm here to see what happens with you guys playing it out for me. Convince me it's better gameplay then 2K5, I already know the graphics are amazing. But I'm more of a complete gameplay guy... I like pass interference calls... Offsides calls... Holding... Clipping... And this stuff rarely happens in Madden. Change my opinion on this years Madden... I'm not trying to ruin your moment guys... I just don't wanna waste 60 bucks again for a beer coaster.

However, I will say that when I play the Madden 13 demo, it feels more like a Sunday afternoon watching an NFL game on CBS than NFL2K5 ever felt like even watching a Sunday Night NFL game on ESPN. The feeling of actual NFL football wasn't there for me like Madden NFL 13 but 2K5 did it's thang! I can't hate on the overall package one iota. It was a definite trailblazer, without doubt.
Thanks my g... Just trying to be an honest gamer here.

Just a quick quip - A PASS INTERFERENCE WAS CALL ON THE DEFENSE!!! Lol. I initially maxed out my O and D interference sliders so it was quit a nice deal to see that flag was thrown in my favor on 3rd and long...but just like my real life Jets, I eventually had to settle for a field goal. 29yds, not so bad but still.

And, since I never praised EA for this in all of my time with the demo, previously, THANK YOU for going back to analog kicking!!! What a bone headed move last year to go back to the dinosaur kick bar meter.

Honestly I was not going to buy it, but the demo talked me into it.
I ordered my real copy from amazon because they have a great deal on it.

Yes, I got it too. I am on a x360.
I kept trying and it eventually worked.
Good luck, see you online.

Oh my goodness, started at around 6:30 then it had an error and canceled download.

Now started again around 7:15 and only at 35% so much for playing when off of work!

I'm a Lions fan, so I really wanted Sanders. I guess I'll have to stand in line with a bunch of people in a small Gamestop.

I am a niners fan, I love Barry though.
I have to admit that one of my first things will be to add him to the current lions, what a team. How do you get him anyways?
