I definitely might be buying this in july...I saw some quirky stuff with animations that made me scratch my head ,but it wasn't nothing to warrant anything game breaking....The option game is a monster and the computer is deadly with it...thats a plus...Coordinator cam is very good also. I'm impressed a little EA

Ran a CPU vs. CPU game (Or. vs. Tx.) and AI was quite sound on both sides of the ball.

Noticed more quirks with the sound since I was just focused on watching, but nothing too crazy.

Lastly, after every score, there is a glitch where the camera just stayed focused on the ball and the players leave the field. Once I hit "x" the game resumed, although the offense always suffered a delay of game penalty.

Is it possible to turn off the generic names?

Random impressions through one game and a few drills:

-Running game feels nice, the tackles, the fight for yardage; I actually used stumble recovery to recovery after getting hit, then broke for a TD, and it looked great, very realistic.

-There's a little hitch by RBs when receiving a pitch. I understand backs will generally slow down a bit in these instances in real life, but I thought it looked off. Maybe they did this to help prevent backs from getting too great of an advantage.

-The hard cuts definitely give the game a new feel.

-The infinity engine or whatever it's called looks and feels pretty darn good. In one game I saw two post whistle stumbles, and they were minor little stumbles, to the point where they were almost even believable. All in all, it feels cleaned up from what Madden was last year.

-Coordinator Cam was pretty cool, but in drills mode it kind of bugged out on ints. Could just be that mode.

-Getting engaged by a blocker while playing defense feels pretty much the same, and once you've got a blocker on you it kind of feels like control is taken out of your hands. Leverage is clearly something that needs work in EA's football games. Hopefully they have this on their radar.

-Replays still kind of suck. You mostly get these weird angles, and ones that don't really look that good.

-You still get those screenshot pics at the end of games. They suck worse than the replays. The sooner they take those out, the better.

wow i actually thought i was going to enjoy the wide camera more...the coordinator cam is OFF THE CHAIN THE BEST!!!

# 268 HozAndMoose @ 06/18/13 08:22 PM

The grass never looks as good in replays as it does on 360

# 269 RandyBass @ 06/18/13 08:22 PM

Oh yeah, I ran four verts about a half dozen times at the end of the half and end of the game, and saw no safety glitch.

my only real gripe so far, and it's a big one, is that when I'm on Defense and the CPU is running 'no huddle', the menu for me to pick/change my defensively play takes WAY too long to come up. One time the menu didnt come up until AFTER the cpu has snapped the ball and then it was obviously in the way of my vision. WTH

I believe teams that wear socks like that are in the game. Just like teams with special sleves have them.

I just tested and didn't see it either. Will test once more to make sure.

Same thing happened to me, and that's my only gripe so far too. Other then that I really like the game. The option game feels great and works really good, I saw some great blocking down the field by o-linemen, and a great play by a linebacker diving and knocking down a pass in the endzone. I think this game is gonna be really great.

# 275 LETSGOBLUEBEATMSU @ 06/18/13 08:29 PM

I don't know what keeps happening but most of my games end up going to OT
here is Texas A&M VS Oregon.

On AA out of TAM's 5 wide shotgun set I ran 4 verts, hot routed triangle to a fly route, and X was open for 6 consecutive plays. They did stop it after that once but then gave it up 3 more times before stopping it again.

Hopefully it can be fixed with sliders but coverage feels pretty good on most other plays so I don't know if I want to mess with it much. Also it could just be a matchup problem so before I get too worried I'll wait till I have the game and try it with other teams.

VT 14 - Bama 13 (I was VT)

I played on default AA.

Passing was too easy for me. In general, I don't consider myself to be that great of a passer, but I went 9 for 10 with Logan Thomas. DB's are much more aware at where the ball is, but I had players get wide open a lot more than they used to.

The read option was fun to run, leading to both a TD on a 3rd and 4 play from the Bama 6 yard line and a big stop on 3rd and 1 where Thomas got slammed to the ground by the LB trying to leap over the middle.

I had a lot more trouble running the ball on 1st and 10 than I did in short yardage situations where they knew I'd be running.

The game looks great visually. Only minor gripe there is that it looks like the Georgia Dome is only VT fans.

# 278 grabursock55 @ 06/18/13 08:33 PM

You should have seen this play I just had. Running on 3rd and 4, and got hit and wrapped up right at the first down chain. But my knee never touched the ground, got spun around and he just found his feet again and kept going for about 6 more yards. gonna be a close game here

# 279 ClemTiger @ 06/18/13 08:37 PM

The DB glitch is still in the game. I threw it on purpose every drive and at least once of the 4 downs, it was wide open. That's terrible on EA's part.

Also, the players are way too stiff IMO.

# 280 moose1619 @ 06/18/13 08:37 PM

seeing inaccurate passes from qbs, especially bullet passes on out routes. Also missed a 49 yard FG that I didn't quite center perfectly.
