That's kinda what I'm trying to verify.... if not post them, at least confirm they are the same....

Seems odd they took pass rushing away.

# 23 Steve_OS @ 08/13/13 08:28 AM

They are the same.

Difficulty..?

Downloading now. I think if your complaint about Madden is the difficulty and you come to this forum, cmon.. just change the sliders or at least play on All-Madden. When was the last time all-pro was difficult?

I am trying not to drop the "its just a demo, wait till game, its just the ga,e wait till patch, its just a patch, wait still second patch" routine. I am not impressed with the demo. I felt Madden 12 and Madden 13 had cleaner gameplay than NCAA 12 and NCAA 13. Not seeing that here.

My biggest gripe isn't the run blocking, because I fully expected that. I assume they just copy and pasted coding from NCAA on that one. My grippest gripe is with the coverage. I don't understand why coverage has taken so many steps back. NCAA 12 had awesome zone coverage out the box and I guess guys must have complained about that or something because now only a couple zone coverages are ever a viable option. They need to bring DEFENSE back into these games, especially Madden.

I've always had more faith in the Madden team than NCAA, to be honest, so I have to hope that a number of issues were fixed. I don't want to start another "THE GCs FAILED US" conversation but, man, I just don't know how guys are playing this and telling the public good things. What I am playing right now is not "sim" in the least bit....

Of course I am still buying day one, I just hope they changed a heck of a lot in retail...

Hm, guess I'm in the minority here but I'm certainly enjoying it. It's not perfect, that's for sure, but I think this is probably one build prior to release. Run blocking is pretty good as far as linemen go, but I definitely had a couple of the Packers LBs get through when I ran a stretch play. Haven't had any of the weird injury issues come up that a couple others posted.

# 30 bowld @ 08/13/13 08:54 AM

Looks like the presnap camera got pulled too far back. Maybe they did this on purpose so the close-up view of the next gen camera will stand out even more?

# 31 K33057 @ 08/13/13 08:57 AM

How about the OL Blocking? Is there sometimes 2 olinemen on 1 Dlinemen sometimes like in real life?? OR is it 1 on 1 like always..
AND how about the DB's -they cover real or is the wr's making supercatches like always???

# 32 Malcd9583 @ 08/13/13 09:02 AM

Is there cornerback assignments in the game again? Like can I put revis island on megaton all game again or did they leave that out again?

# 33 wordtobigbird @ 08/13/13 09:03 AM

Just wanted to confirm that the skills trainer is broken. They do not get you the prompts/tutorial I have seen in youtube videos. So you can do whatever move to to the endzone but you will fail. I randomly passed 2 out of 4. It is suppose to say, Do a stiffarm. You do a stiffarm. Pass.

Moving on to a game now.

Can anyone please put me out of my misery and let us know whether assisted tackles work this year?

As someone who worked on sliders last year I feel your pain lol. I'll check for it

Aaron Rodgers model kind of looks like that guy from how I met your mother.

From the first kickoff with Cobb you run so much slower without RT. But you have so much more control of your direction.

# 36 Malcd9583 @ 08/13/13 09:10 AM

Can someone just give the pros and cons of the demo. A lengthy explanation of what they really think if the demo I would if I wasn't stuck at work.

# 37 bowld @ 08/13/13 09:11 AM

Looked at halftime stats for both teams and noticed there are "0" assisted tackles for either team.

And...my game just froze

# 38 wordtobigbird @ 08/13/13 09:11 AM

The camera view seems like its too far back. There is an extra 2 or 3 inches they show outside the receiver that I don't need to see at all. Makes the players less detailed and graphics from a distance look worse.

But I can see the whole field without having to constantly pull the camera back which is good. Just a little too far.

I feel like there is much more control of the qb in the pocket as well. I still love passing more than that read option stuff so I picked the packers. Bouncing around the pocket with Rodgers is pretty fun

# 39 jmurphy31 @ 08/13/13 09:11 AM

As others have stated. I am not a fan of the pulled back camera view. I know I can go back the view from last year ( which is still a little too far back for my taste). With today's age of wide screen TVs I am not sure why its so hard to a zoomed in wide angle shot.

Not completely true. I played as the Seahawks just now and Wilson threw some bad passes and I threw 3 picks with him as well. I lost to GB 0-7 final score. It was on All pro settings. The QBs ain't Insanely accurate. But they are accurate a lot of the times. But when your on the run their accuracy goes down some. But overall it's ok.
