Has the demo changed your mind about buying Madden 13?

My question is really for the game changers ,particularly the ones who attended the community day. How was there such a overwhelming wow from you guys, and such a negative response now? I get it some is just negative for the sake of being negative, but a lot is really justifiable dissapointment. What happened to 85% of everyone loving it? Where's the game of the year talk that dominated June 4? Not trying to be disrespectful but I'd love to know what some of you guys see in this that you are so pleased with. Thanks.

Super LBs gone!

Phsycic Dbs gone!

Passing game is improved

Animations feel more life like than they have been in years

Most of the freestyle gameplay is not there anymore but the jury is still out

Presentation is better than its ever been and making nice strides for future maddens

Just seems like this team is really on the right track and I can't be mad, first time in a long time I can honestly say that I'm excited for next year and this madden isn't even out yet. Line I have said before, I'm looking for perfection, just wanting to have the game play close to what we see on Sunday and I feel next ten will deliver that in spades after playing this demo.

All that stuff you are noticing is esthetics. So it looks prettier. I can still run an HB slam and get the same yardage running it the same way. All the passing plays are the same, no difference from the DB interaction. I can still run a cross route and complete the same percentage as before. It looks better but the gameplay feels exactly the same.

I was prolly not picking it up but after playing the demo I will definitely get it.
Presentation was vey nice, gameplay felt right and the graphics just blew me away.
If only 2K could use EA's graphics engine!!

I get all that. Glad that stuff is gone. But, the "step in the right direction" sentiment is troubling to me. Didnt we all say that about Madden 10? How bout a home run out of the park rather than always just hope for the future?

I'm confused on how people have so many complaints about the game for years, but still say they are going to buy it?

EA is still getting your money, for a product you deemed bad? where is the logic in that?

I think some people buy it just to complain about it or they just don't want to be left out

You guys are one of the reasons things take forever to change

Not at all.

Pre-ordered in April; keeping my pre-order. While not perfect, the game seems much improved to me over the last few versions, based on the demo. Looking forward to playing the retail version.

thats all very nice for the offence, if they havent figured how olbs cant get pressure on your D in a 3-4 etc etc. football has 3 sides, making 1 slightly better wont please all.

my other problem is the things that were dropped, editing/playbooks. ea shouldnt assume everyone is going to be happy

I can't speak for everyone, but I've noticed my OLB's getting more sacks this year. I get sacks almost every game with Aldon Smith, Ahmad brooks, and Orakpo.
