I've quick re-played the demo around 20 times so far, and the only drops from my guys (when no one is around them) came from bad passes from me, or the recievers having an awkward catch animation, which is realistic to me, as guys can drop easy passes quite a bit in real life. I'd also think this is a bit of a way to get some good realistic game stats, and maybe that's what the Madden team was going for. Anyway, probably only 6 drops like that total from the hour or so I've been messing with the demo.

    Then again, my IQ training has constantly rated my passing in All-Pro, so maybe that'd have something to do with it.
    get the all-madden rating and you will see it. i had plax wide open on a short slant ...dropped. steve smith wide open on an out route ...dropped. this was back to back, iirc. i think the game punishes you for being good. lol.

    btw, i also got all-madden for rushing and i failed three times in a row to pick up the first down on the opening play. (not a bad thing, btw)
    My score for Madden 13: 4.5/10

    3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.

        I really liked the demo.. Might be my first next gen purchase of Madden. & the IQ test is excellent. I usually found the game too easy or too hard.. Now the AI adapts to how good you are.. The blocking is incredible.. & the automatic hurdling tripped me out a bit.. Wasn't expecting that.. The RB has so many moves now..

          Yeah, but Plax and Shockey catch just about everything thrown in their direction. One thing I really liked was seeing Plax use his height and jump up over DBs to make some catches.

          Overall I think this is a HUGE improvement in Madden and I am glad I haven't seen the fumbling problems of last year . . . so far.

              He does it on his own. I don't take control of receivers usually until they make the catch.

                Ok... Question on the Madden IQ... does it change while playing Madden Moments? Mine seems to be stuck on 498 (whatever that means). The passing started out extremely hard considering how well I did in the Madden Test (which is a horrible representation of the playing field imo). After a few picks thrown in a row, the passing seemed to have eased up, so I'm not sure if the Madden IQ is altering or not, but I sure hope so.

                Will this work on the regular build too? Like say, I decide to not take the madden test (which I have already decided lol), and I play like 5 exhibitions... the game should accurately reflect my playing skill right?

                I personally like this addition to the game the most if all of what I hope is true.

                    60 frames looks so well as far as movement and speed is concerned.. Also this game is 10 times better than 08 on PS3 with the frame rate alone .. last year just sucked.. Wish I could of played more but honestly it feels like a better polished version of NCAA plus the men are a bit more detailed and larger... Passes Zip in faster when standing still and holding the button .. Running feels more smooth and the shaking camera is a nice touch in the open filed.. also Free lance celebrations(LIKE NCAA) is cool i dunk the ball 2wice and missed 1 time because I wasn't in the middle of the goal post .. kinda cool! I pause the game and looked on teh side line and spotted 4 different coaches ..looked cool but the faces was waaay off and they looked like migets LOL

                        I am not gonna make a whole lot of comments on this yet as its a demo, but I will say I LOVE the fact that the QBs have to turn and set their feet before throwing the ball. I also like that the balls are not as accurate when throwing on the run.

                          are we throwing the passes to hard? could this be reason for the drops cause its getting a tad frustrating when you your hitting plaxico in the #s wide open and he just drops it.

                          by the way bobbling catches are pretty nice touch.

                            The drills in no way judge anything that relates to real gameplay.

                            (BTW im not slandering it, just stating a fact, those drills do not apply to any gameplay, which makes me even madder that this is their big feature. As I have said before rather then take on serious issues like improving Franchise or Online, they chose to add a pointless gimmick that no one was asking for.)

                                Oh man, thought the action cam was just for breakaways but boy was I in for a treat! I threw a pick and chased down harrison with jacobs and put the hit stick on him and the how screen shook. LOVED it! This game is gonna be sweet.
