Wow manual coverage is BACK! I'm going to have a ball this year

I thought the returns only improved a bit but after further play it seems they're actually a substantial improvement. I got 2 punt return TDs in the same quater with LaMichael James. For some reason they kept kicking to him. It's also quite easy to insert personel from the classic playbook. It's just gameplan that doesn't do it.

279 yards rushing...all madden...no slider adjustments...90% off tackle plays...gameflow...disappointed! Pro..coach pick...no audibles, hot routes, line adjustments plays a tougher game.

I really would like some honest opinions on the IE. I've watched many of the retail version videos and to be honest, it does look pretty toned down from the demo. In some cases, I don't even see it.

Are you seeing those same physics in the retail versus the demo?

Honest opinion please.

I hate to side with the nay sayers, but the IE may be overtuned a bit from my observation.

I plan on checking this out this weekend with the SeasonPass. The Physics & Passing got me excited. It will make or break the game for me.

Just downloaded this and the NHL demo. I'll save my NHL comments for the other board obviously, so here we go with random thoughts after one game of Niners-Giants:

-Tackling seems weird. It's just not... right. The engine seems like a great idea and a step forward, but it's not perfected, and really doesn't seem close to being perfected for at least two more years.
-David Akers warming up right-footed... uh... okay.
-Dropped balls a tad of an issue, but didn't see a ton of problems.
-Passing is a little more fluid, after all, this is a passing league now, so glad to see that.
-HATED some of the logic I saw. Flat out hated. Under two minutes left, I think about 1:50 actually, I'm up 7-6 on the Giants, we have all our timeouts I believe, and the Giants are rushing to the line to try and score with the ball on the SF 8 yard line. IDK, just seemed like something where a team with the ball in that situation is holding and holding it. Saw it again later with 38 seconds left in the game (obviously play clock turned off) and I have no timeouts, and they RAN THE BALL. Come on. Seriously. This is Madden 13, how does this continue to be a problem? Pitch out left actually, with a spin move included by Bradshaw. Why on god's green earth would they even CONSIDER running?
-Seems to be a bit more emotion in the game, which I liked.
-Nantz and Simms are a step forward, but man, Simms said some stupid stuff (yes, I know this happens in real life too haha) but some stuff was just out there. I think I would fully hate the commentary after about 10-15 games of Madden. Some of the lines made no sense in the context of the game. To be expected, I suppose.

Anyway, game seems to be taking a step forward, but I'm definitely skipping Madden this year. I'd give the demo about a 7.2/10. Decent gameplay, would like to see some of the GM stuff, but I haven't paid much attention and the things I've heard don't excite me. I'll have fun with 2K12 and NHL though.
