All Madden seems to go to the other extreme with my Guard inexplicably not blocking the DT even when I'm making the correct read.

One game. All Pro. No sliders.

Passing is a little easy. Me 14-16 198 with Alex Smith. If you've played NCAA it's the same.

Running feels better. Blocking is definitely better than NCAA. May bump it up to All-Madden to double check since I play NCAA on Heisman.

There is momentum. Jukes are more effective. If the cpu is moving one way you can cut against their momentum. No warp tackles.

Tackles are WAY less dramatic and over the top than NCAA. Which is a really good thing.

Infinity is NOT super noticeable. It's subtle and a good thing no doubt. But, not all mind blowing as was stated by some of the Game Changers. A few wonky body contortions but nothing really weird.

Giants only ran 4 times. Eli was terrible. 9-18 76. Threw 3 picks. Deep balls into double coverage.

Not a single penalty called.

Forgot about the Strategy Pad. Couldn't figure out pre-play adjustments to save my life. Eventually figured it out somewhat.

Nance and Simms are good.

Game looks good. But, not a huge differentiation from NCAA.

Cpu offense runs the hurry up at hyper speed.

I played on all madden two games. One as the 49ERS and one as the REDSKINS. I LOST BOTH. I played a lot of 2 man under out of the nickel formation and used a lot of 3-4 sting pinch man blitzes when the cpu was coming out in a 2 wr set.

It was hard tackling on all madden and the hit stick didn't work for my 90 HP SS. I'm gonna play it on the next difficulty down in a little while and give my impression on that difficulty mode.

The game was pretty good. I had no user pics and was in position a couple times. I turned auto strafe off and lined up for the int and pressed Y but I didn't get the pic. Could be because I was out of position or ALL MADDEN.

I DO NOT like the menu that comes up on the bottom right when I'm strafing pre play. DO NOT!

I liked sharing my game on twitter. I thought that was very cool. Play action was not working for me but that could have been many factors. I was just trying out a lot of different plays so I didn't get the time to diagnose everything.

I passed out of shotgun 95% of the time and didn't have a lot of success. Could be because I'm not used to the game yet and wasn't paying attention all to well, or ALL MADDEN is that tuff. I don't know yet.

Curls worked pretty effectively. I only ran a couple draws out of shotgun but I got stuffed.

I'm eager to play this on a lower level now that I see what ALL MADDEN is like.

I LOVE the madden 10 controls and set them after the first play. I HATE the strategy pad.

I thought that the new animations were pretty sweet and like that real time physics is now in the game. It's about time. Didn't get a chance to see a bunch of new catch animations but I only played two games. I'll report more later.

The Game seems pretty sweet and I will be getting it the week it comes out.

re: Madden NFL 13 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here *(PS3 Vers. Online)*

just finished my first game....

i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the improved crowd noise. finally u feel like your in a real stadium. this was one of the main reasons why i play NCAA 13. im really not into college but ncaa does a real good job of making the stadium feel alive.

gameplay feels real good. loving it so far. i feel like i have good control over my player on defense and d-line moves feel responsive. jukes actually feel useful. i played with the Niners on all-pro. Victor Cruz was eating me alive for most of the game. then i made an adjustment and put more pressure on him and i was able to calm him down.

the passing feels good just like NCAA. although i couldnt sling the ball the way i wanted to because Alex Smith doesnt have the arm for that which is true to life. i feel sorry for 49er fans. lol

the Infinity engine is real subtle but i really like it. it really does make the game feel more organic. it really makes the game look and feel more life like and real. it makes the players moves look more realistic. i have already seen some nice tackles.

loving the presentation. i also really like the commentary. it flows really well and sounds pretty smooth for the most part.

overall im really loving the game, plus i won in overtime 13-10.

NCAA 13 is is big trouble. i dont know if im ever gonna touch that game once madden comes out. this game feels and sounds like football!

im loving it!

ok i am really impressed so far. commentary is great. new physics engine seems sweet. seen some awesome animations including one where d hall was being blocked but slung his arm out bsckwards to grab the reciever. was wicked. no more fixing on one player till its too late.

my only worry is the lighting at midfield seems too dark. with skins i cant even make out the colour of their jerseys. seems like stadium shadow but well overdone imo.

The animations and all around controls and movements just seem so cartoony by comparison. For example, the CPU RBs have this propensity to run in a hunchback zig zag manner thru the holes and it just doesnt look or feel authentic. Yes the physics engine adds a bit...a bit of variety to the outcomes but by and large it also adds (as others have said) a very wonky robotic look and feel to some of the movements and collisions. Also, the sense of weight and momentum seems a bit light and airy as opposed to being solid like you would expect for a 240lb RB hitting a 275lb Linemen.

Its got alot of the same Madden that you either loved or hated over the years still in its engine and the physics and passing improvements dont stand out enough imho to elevate this game past some of the previous versions. Who knows It may get better, the more I play it...but at this point it feels marginal. I actually still prefer the more grounded solid feel of Madden 10 if I had to play a Madden game. Maybe this will change after a few more games (hopefully)

I personally still feel it is not nearly as deep and as advanced a football engine as AP2K8 is....And certainly doesnt feel as dynamic that anything can happen on the field.

Thoughts?..Am I nuts?
Someone will most likely give you grief for not loving the Madden demo.

Welp. I ran the Read Option the whole game with RG3 on All Madden. Ended up with 22 Carries for 90 yards. I would have had much more yards, but, of course, the DT stuffed me in the backfield a couple of times because my guard inexplicably didn't block him at the line of scrimmage.

Other than the dumbing down of my offensive line the Read Option was fairly effective on All Madden provided you made the right read.
