If it's like NCAA 13, the pumpfakes are a lot quicker and more effective this year. I've gotten safeties to bite on my pump fakes a lot.

A lot of us who played fifa had some idea of what to expect with the new engine in the first year. Id say it looks good about 30% percent of the time. The other 70% guys are flying all over like its the wwe or power backs like marshawn lynch and brandon jacobs are being brought down with one arm. What bothers me the most with the new engine is players most of the time dont even try to wrap up or hold on, they just use their bodies like wrecking balls and slam into the ball carrier.

How old or new do you guys think the demo build is. I dont expect to see much improvement in the final product but i hope they can make the physics feel more satisfying. The way it stands now it doesnt feel like weight or momentum really matter at all.

That being said i think this is a good foundation for madden to build off of they just need to get the science down. Ill pass on 13 this year and hope they can really flesh it out for next year.

Just had one of the weirdest, awesomeness play to ever happen in Madden to me. I threw the ball to one of my recievers to the Right with RGIII and a line man put his hand up and deflected it. It then went towards the middle of the field and Moss dove and made a one handed catch on his back off of it. I was like the whole time.

I also seen the sucking catching gone so far. I threw the ball between two outstretched arms of a Corner and Linebacker right to Moss, it was amazing.

As said, so far I am liking it. Do not forget this is a demo and with the new engine, sure there are going to be little weird moments here and there. But the thing is, the infinity engine is hear to stay so it is only going to get better in the future. I am loving the demo. Can not wait to play CC. Well done EA, keep it up.

are the sliders set up the same as last year. Or do they give us more options with them now. I hated the way sliders we're last year, i felt i was very limited to what i could change without completely destroying the gameplay.

The commentary is much much better than last year when there was gaping holes in commentary all over the place.

I agree that it is better. It just needs a lift for me. It is improved but there is still logic errors where irrespective of whose voice it is, something different should be said. That's not to say they aren't any positives. I just wish the overall flow of this presentation element was better.

One of the best football games, i've ever played. The gameplay is just
