I'm aware of that, but my question is related. I don't think I should create a new thread, but I can?

I'm not very fluent in how this works. I only play sports games offline and I purchased my Xbox for Madden 12, so I'm still new to all of this. I don't mess with demos much, I just want to know when it goes public.

I don't think I'm asking a lot.

madden 25 is what madden 13 should have been the game is so smooth but it's starting to feel way to un real ncaa 14 is more real then madden 25 but it's great so far really like it.

# 224 timbosliceGB @ 08/13/13 02:16 PM

with that said i don't judge ea sports games on demo any more just like ncaa 14 fixed alot of issues that was in demo once game was out im sure same thing will be done with madden 25. People forget most of te time these demos are builds of the game at least 2-3 months old if not longer.

How do you high step?? I'm on breakaways holding b & my players just keep spinning.. Did they remove the high stepping mechanic???

Played 2 games. Nothing ground breaking. I haven't played Madden since black Friday of last year and I didn't miss a beat. It just feels stale, repetitive to me. If you enjoy Madden, I didn't see any game killer moments, if you didn't enjoy 13 I think you can save your money for something else.

# 227 Goffs @ 08/13/13 02:17 PM

I'm loving it! I bought last years version and was a little put off that they didn't do anything with the OL/DL interaction but this year I'm really liking how they interact now. The physics is just lovely and I'm actually excited in picking this up later this month!

This will be my second Madden (counting last years version) game since 09' I believe.....so I guess I'm a casual when it comes to Madden but was pretty hardcore when 2k was in the business of making a football game. I'm enjoying this Madden and I look forward to the next gen as well!

Alright so I just played the the 49ers@Ravens game as the 49ers, and so far my impression is good. I like that the Read Option works pretty well. Though I used Gameflow most of the game and had to call Read Options on my own. I hope in longer games the Gameflow will call the read option more, if not no big deal AI play calling has usually been questionable. But it seems pretty good so far, granted this is after only one game.

So far I don't have any real issues with game play, the combo moves are pretty good. On defense I'm seeing a few blown coverage, and wide open WR and TE, especially in short yardage situations like the Goal line. But overall I like the game play so far, everything feels fluid after one game. I did have one problem with commentary, which was with the new Sideline reporter, I can't remember her name yet. But after halftime she said she spoke with Colin Kaepernick while the 'camra' was on Joe Flacco, not that big a deal but a bit out of place. Also she mentioned the 49ers having Turnovers which we didn't, and the Ravens had 1 by halftime. The rest of the commentary is alright, a few new things but I'm sure it will get as annoying as it was last year, Sims is defiantly not my favorite Madden NFL commentator.

Another thing that was more of a annoyance then anything else, the Ravens had the ball the entire first quarter. I'm sure with longer quarters this wont be much of a problem. I'd also like to see the camera focus on injured players more like it has in the past. Also with the new Sideline Reporter, I'd like to hear a bit more from her during the game, especially injury updates, and maybe after timeouts or after a quarter ends. I mean she's on the sidelines right? Let her give a bit more of the storyline during the game, when it's appropriate, don't over do it.

On one more note, not sure if it was answered yet, but I did see a question about Asst. Tackles. Yes they are being recorded, at least I had two recorded, though they were for two Ravens offensive players after one of my Interceptions. So there is hope that they will work in the full version, though I think there should have been a few more Asst. Tackles.

All in all I enjoyed the demo so far and look forward to Madden 25 and Connected Franchise Mode.

Thanks for the impressions guys. I want to dl and play but I am being freeze glitched in Ncaa right now I refuse to quit and give this scumbag a win. So hopefully not too much longer been waiting it out for 9 Hours not going to give up now.

# 231 MarcDub @ 08/13/13 02:29 PM

I'm liking the demo so far.. Feels a bit better than last year... I hate the camera view, however.. I'm still trying to figure out how to high step..

There's a lot that can change the feel of a

game. If COD gets stale does that mean nothing can change in fps games? Of course not, it means COD has done pretty much what it can with the genre, take or leave it.

This genre just needs a fresh take on the sport in the worst way possible in my opinion.

Good and BALANCED post. Nitpicking complainers are not helpful. As of right now, I don't see PS3 demo up yet so this is all I have. Also, it seems to me the biggest haters are the ones that play the most. How could you have so much to pick apart if you didn't play so much of the game you supposedly hate?

Can you DM me the guy's gamertag or PSN ID? We'll look into this. Thanks.

Just had L. James run out of bounds for no reason while running a swing pass. When he re-entered I threw him the ball and the illegal touching flag was thrown. He fumbled and the Ravens recovered it, then they accepted the penalty and let me have the ball back lol

youre welcome to your opinion but what d oyou mean by fresh take on a old game? especially when the hardcore madden fans are screaming "sim sim sim" every year its built in the mold of a sim football game. there are certain games that cant have a new take on the sport because it will take away fro mthe sport or the genre. Madden nba 2k gran turismo the show have all bee pretty much stayed the same over the years with minor tweaks here and there but core concepts of the games wont change. so i ask again what kind of fresh take can one make to a "sim" football game? you want a new blitz game or nfl street?
