Yeah I think Prater hit from 63 during Tebow's magical run if I'm not mistaken

Janikowski tied the record at Denver on the opening MNF 2 years ago.

My point was, I was hoping to be wowed a bit and then the demo would have done its job and made me excited for August 27th. Im not the only one who feels this way, why are there some people that just feel the need to be Madden police? These are all impressions, all subjective. I'm not going to come on here and attack somebody who is in constant defense mode and always defending the product. Why after 7 years of mediocre to BAD games does anyone have to police us negatives? Its just my impression of the game. 5 minutes or 5 hours, its the same madden weve had since 2009, with a left trigger modifier now. Yippie.

If you don't touch the controller, does the QB scramble on his own? This has been a major flaw with Madden over the years. Coach mode or not, he'll pass on his own, but won't take off down field.

EA's physics engine took a big jump this year and seems to have cleared up a lot of glaring issues. This game doesn't reinvent the wheel but it perfects most of which we wanted with madden 13. I will actually buy this game. This game has not been worth buying in 10 years. This year is a very good football game. Coverages seem much better and the cpu actually has a running game.

This is what I feel exactly.

Super dives are back.

I was running to the left (minding my business) and superman flew on screen to stop me in my tracks.

I'm guessing this had to be done, because breaking ankles is so superb. lol

I think this is the best Madden on current gen, but player models like Wilson's need to be addressed. His skin is way too dark here.

# 268 friscob @ 08/13/13 03:51 PM

^^^ Skin color is way off....

Lol Russ Wilson just trucked BJ Raji

# 269 Elite49 @ 08/13/13 03:51 PM

I'll wait until the next-gen version to see if it fixes anything. You can still run through 5 guys like last year.

# 270 ajtickle @ 08/13/13 03:52 PM

First Madden demo I've played that's actually got me MORE excited for the game. I love it, almost everything is a step up from 13. My best moment has been a Richard Sherman 80 yard INT return for a TD to win the game against my brother, weaving in and out of the Packers defense like an absolute boss. Russell Wilson got concussed in the first half and Tarvaris Jackson was pretty average but the D managed to win me the game!

Only gripes are interceptions + precision skill modifier. Interceptions look normal in the replays and are a lot more fluent than ever before, but during live gameplay it feels like the defender drops the ball, catches it again and then there's a 1 second delay before the camera switches around? Still, the switch-around is again, a lot more fluent than past Madden's.

The Precision skill modifier, well there isn't anything wrong or broken about it, but I don't understand what use it is? My understanding of it is that it slows down the runner so he can make a special move to beat the oncoming defender, but when you can just use them moves without holding LT, and sprint fast whilst spinning rather than slowing down and spinning, why would anyone want to use it? Anyway the run game looks very tidy this year and making quick jukes and cuts to beat defenders is very fun, kickoff returns are better than ever before. Stiff arms seem a bit ineffective though.

# 271 youALREADYknow @ 08/13/13 03:55 PM

CPU stills calls a timeout at 1:01 left in half/game regardless of score and situation. Sigh.

They didn't change end game or late game coaching. The only change made was to the default gameplans, which were horrendous in M13 and easily correctable outside of CCM.

i understand people wanting the players faces to look great, but I think the goal is just to give an acceptable likeness for them, and not worry about it too much. I mean, you see their faces in detail like that only on occasion, replay, halftime or after the game obviously when their helmet is off. I think with the helmets on, they do as good as expected. Mind you, yeah, it took them years to accomplish giving us faces, but least we got some player likenesses finally. I recognized Kaepernick right off the bat. Some faces def look better than others though.

# 273 kstar12 @ 08/13/13 03:55 PM

The game isn't that bad but it does have a game killer, and its the curl.

Even in man defense, guys just drift back and back and you can easily complete it. I used it and went all the way down the field, not deviating once. I'm on All Madden, and it was a problem last year as well.

Really, a shame.

EA said a buncha rookies from last yr got there new facescans in 25 so sorta surprised Wilson didn't makes me wonder if weeden and tannehill are gonna get theres or have same faces like in 13??? lol

# 275 friscob @ 08/13/13 03:58 PM

Serious end of game AI problem. Tied w/ the Hawks 14-14 and only have 1 TO left w/ them having the ball 3rd and 3 on my 12 yard line 57 seconds left in the game.

They pick up the first down and call a TO before I get a chance to. They run another play and use their second time out. Run another and call To. Stop them on 3rd down and I use my TO. They kick the FG and take the lead w/ 37 seconds left. I tied the game w/ walkoff FG to force OT b/c of this

This has been going on for years I've just assumed Ea didn't care or couldn't do anything about it.

that's strange because anytime any other demo drops when PS updates at 6 I've been able to d/l them after 3pm west coast time unless they change it. guess we'll see when 3pm hit here lol.

Yeah and in the same interview they said they worked on all the qbs who start or that they thought could. I think the problem with Wilson's is the skin tone, the face isn't that inaccurate.

If they had just taken last years skin tone and this years face, here he was last year....

# 279 takki @ 08/13/13 04:03 PM

I had a feeling this could be Madden's year and the demo is only hyping me up.

I loved it, the physics system is running great, the graphics look stunning during the replays, the run game has never been better, the presentation and commentary is solid.

My only worry is that like previous years, whatever side of the ball they fix (for example, offense this year) always becomes overpowered. But I won't be able to tell until the game is out.

Left time on the clock for me to score. I didn't score and lost 10-7 but yeah..... This is a glaring issue.

Just had the same thing happen before halftime. It's so obvious that it better be addressed before release.
