Personally enjoying the demo quite a bit. there are a lot of little things that ive seen bugs wise, but overall i really like the direction. The physics engine is my fav part. Yes you see weird stuff happen and its not perfect but at least you see some cool stuff during pile ups, and when running the ball. They still need to fix the OL/DL interactions and i suppose that wont be the case this generation, but the new pass trajectories are very welcome.

Looking forward to this Madden more so than any in many years.

Typically, I play coach mode exclusively but I had a good bit of fun playing as QB/K/P only yesterday evening. I just let GameFlow call the plays and I tried to run what the coaches called.

I think it's definitely time to go ahead and trade in Madden's younger brother and put that toward my previously pre-ordered copy of 13.

Really Madden? You honestly think this can EVER happen in reality? Great "simulation"... - The game returns its ridiculous feature that prevents one from getting too big of a lead if the teams are evenly matched overall; like in the example above, I was playing as the 89 overall Giants against the 90 overall 49ers and was leading by 10; faced with a 3rd down and 5 minutes left in the game, Smith throws that impossible pass to Moss, followed by a 41 yd completion to Crabtree who somehow manages to get by his CB, a LB and the S to get wide open for the completion. All of a sudden I'm up 3 and decide to run the ball to push the time down...and who would have guessed it...a fumble. The 49ers convert it to 3 points and then I need to pull all the stops on my next possession to hammer 3 points with the time expiring. Again: really Madden? I've been playing pretty all game and in the span of 2 minutes, everything goes horribly wrong just b/c you didn't like how big of a lead I had against a team who's supposedly "better" by one overall point? Ridiculous... - Commentating was awful and inaccurate as always - CPU's defense is somehow magically able to predict which side I'm going to run to and reorganize their blitz patterns when I pick a run play 99% of the time. Overall: another failed attempt by EA Sports. I honestly can't wait for 2K to be able to start making football games again not b/c I think their better or anything...but b/c the competition it will give EA motivation to actually start making better IN-GAME improvements, rather than just the yearly lazy graphics/roster/1-2 new feature(s) update that's occurring now. In conclusion: I've fallen for cranking out my hard-earned $60 for their lazy games the last two years, but this is just ridiculous. EA Sports will not be getting it this year and from here onward until significant IN-GAME improvements are made and the word "simulation" can be used justifiably again.

Man, I can't help but refute this impression, its obvious you are playing something else.

Can you show if tell me when and where the psychic DBs were present?

Moss is just moss and he has done that a lot in his career, I can see if its an "every single time" type of thing like cheese but its not.

It's starting to become evident that no one is even trying, I was the hardest on madden with criticisms, but man I don't go looking for the negatives, I wait for thngs to happen over and over a number of times. It's a demo, and with that being said....

I enjoyed the demo and the new physics engine. The commentary is manageable but it is refreshing then what we've had. I like where the team is going with madden and hopefully CCM is new vision for madden and it isn't just stripped down in future years.

The only thing i really don't like in the demo is the art design for presentation banners. The blue look for menus and stat overlays looks cheap. I would've liked a black carbon palette for the scoreboard and the overlays. The blue just looks cartoonist and not really futuristic.

# 1506 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 04:58 PM

First game Cowboys bs Eagles. There is not an impressions thread for the retail so I figured I would post here

Menus on Xbox 360 are sluggish/slow it seems. Graphically it's awesome a thing of beauty

No doubt the stumbling over players has been toned down. Game definitely feels different from the demo and the controls are really tight

Vicks face is on point

Ok back to my game. Just wanted to hit in a few things

Not sure if this was programmed into the game or not but I just threw a pass where the defender had a pick and the WR literally took the ball.

I can confirm that it was a pick and the WR took it from the defender. Hell my 10 yr old son was like WOW

I pressed Y,did it change? No challenges? Pass blocking still a disgrace. QB still doesn't throw the ball when about to get hit. Passing in general is improved. It'd be nice if the gameplan calls would insert the proper personel. Andy MVP Lee holds the ball,not Kapernick. I hate the kicking stick,the button was great last year. Returning improved a bit. Improved enough to re-new season ticket and give it a larger try to find out if it improved $60 worth.

Because they wooped SF then went on to win the SB

Flight what difficulty are you playing on and do you see as many dropped passes as there was in the demo?

# 1511 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 05:57 PM

You guys take this for what its worth. I'm playing C-Boys vs Bears in Soldier Field in light rain and the the C-boys are in white and there unis are not getting dirty but the Bears who are in black are. I need to play a few more stadiums but if this is the case all I can do is SMH at EA

Just messing with Pro right now but the only time have seen a dropped pass was when it was properly defended.

Gonna crank it up to All Pro next game

# 1513 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 06:06 PM

Update on the dirty unis. 1 player on the whole C-boys team is dirty. No other player on the team is dirty but the 1 C-boy player is filthy

# 1514 AussieChiefsFan @ 08/21/12 06:07 PM

Cant wait to download this Demo!!

# 1515 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 06:20 PM

Ok, dirty unis work its just wonky. It's not properly done that's for sure.

The game plays totally different than the demo. Everything is just tightened up is the best way to sum it up. Hope this helps those that are on the fence.

Tightened up in a good way though right?

No doubt in a good way. At times I felt the demo was sloppy with players falling over each other but that's not the case in the retail. They toned down the retail version a lot.

# 1518 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 07:28 PM

Something that stands out is when WR's who are making a sideline catch are looking down at there feet to make sure that they are getting 2 ft down in bounds. It looks so natural and life-like. Doesn't matter if its an over the shoulder/facing the Qb they are really working the sideline

Oh and for you 49er fans the receiving core that you guys have you should just dominate. I can't do anything with them

# 1519 Flightwhite24 @ 08/21/12 08:19 PM

And to think I thought NCAA 13 was good

If you are a Madden fan you are gonna love this especially if you messed around with the demo.

Loving the commentary, graphics, running game is great. Simply loving everything about the retail version. Gonna try and find someone online if I can ever stop RGIII and regain the lead from the Skins

Whoever says this game plays just like the demo is a flat out LIAR!!! Peace!!
