PS4 is going to make you pay to play online too btw. They are making PS+ a requirement to play online and are setting up the model to function like Microsoft's Gold/Silver plan.

The graphics are glitching out but the uniforms just got really really grassy for one play. Seahawks units covered in green from knees down almost.

Lead blocking, open field blocking AI is much improved. Convoy of olineman leading on wr screen. Other wrs sprinting around to make blocks for yac

Gentlemen, there is a console thread here.

Can we get back to demo impressions?

# 108 njdevils14 @ 08/13/13 10:54 AM

Anybody know what time it comes out for the PS3?

# 109 Gman 18 @ 08/13/13 10:54 AM

Ok lets back on topic. In the demo, does Russell Wilson have a player model that looks like him or not?

You will get the basic PSN access just like the free Silver gets you access to the MS store. To play online, you have to pay for PS+ like you have to pay for Gold.

Yeah, dude is full of it and giving misinformation, Its just PS+ for online play and they said nothing about not being able to download free demos eiither (which I doubt they would have behind a paywall, it would only encourage those to subscribe if the online aspect is there thang) which would top what live has been doing.

Cant wait to get my hands on this demo, I hope it doesnt feel the same ole same ole!

My bad

Waiting for it to come out on the PS3 is killing me.

Good impressions so far guys, keep em coming.

Obviously, stilly buggy in the sense that some graphics/ animations hiccup, and presentation issues very rarely(Sideline reporter was supposed to be talking but no audio). But when animations are good, theyre really good. Saw a deflected pass where the defender slid to his knees while getting the interception, and getting knocked out by his own teammate who was also trying to reach for the ball, but still managed to get the turnover. The juking and physics of players more detailed when colliding. The Ravens actually trying to come back in end of the game, and not choosing running plays. Tiptoe sideline catches arent always in bounds. Running AI knows how to follow blockers and stay in bounds. Ballhawk feature seems to work really well. AI tackling maybe a little too weak, as with Celek I can just truck over 2 guys at the same time more than once a game. Just in 15 min of gameplay, I noticed these things.

The pre-snap camera is now zoomed out by default? I dislike this very much, I can't see very much details, and is just not how I've played madden for decades. PLEASE tell me this will be changed for default cam. I think I saw I can select zoomed cam like years past, but that was always a little too close for my taste.

But you don't need to pay for PSN+ to be able to download demos, use Netflix or any of the other functions besides actual online gaming. It is not the same as the gold/silver set up MS uses.

C'mon man, you get all the free to play games without a subscription to PS+ and im pretty sure the games will be up to the devs discretion if their online is behind the paywall or not.

OK after playing a couple of games (both on all-madden) I want to give a quick rundown of my pros and cons.

Pros:
- CPU AI is better. I felt like they were just smarter overall and actually capable of scoring points.
- The games felt competitive.
- I lost both games (I think I lost one game in Madden 13).
- The Packers passed a lot, where as the 49ers ran more. Not sure if it is a coincidence.
- Player control feels great.
- The commentary sounded improved.
- Blocking was improved.
- Hit sticks felt satisfying.
- I threw intercepts that were not ridiculous.
- The scores felt realistic

Cons:
- Could still exploit the defence with streaks on the outside when they are in zone.
- CPU completion percentages were too high (around 90% both games).
- Too many injuries (and I was one of the people advocating for more injuries).
- I had Lamichael James stiff-arm and truck two defenders in the one play.

Ultimately this did what every demo should do. It made me excited for the game.

Another quick note, the skills trainer was working for me. Had a message before each playing saying to do a move, I would do it and it would work.

From the sound of it strike 2 for EA. NHL is becoming the only hope left. Then I spend the season with the show. Even though it is a demo and will be improved on, aren't demos supposed to make most people want the game? Not bring attention to the gliches bugs and other issues ignored.

Good notes.

Did you play on All-Pro at all? Curious to see the differences between All-Pro and All-Madden.

The fixed autosubs/fatigue at least a little.
