Madden NFL 13 Hands-On Impressions From Community Event #3 (DLG)

[DCowboys22]

I agree with this. People from the community events have not said a peep about DPP or tackling so I presume they are both part of things to come.

At first I was pretty skeptical about physics when all the speculation began. But it's becoming more and more obvious that the monumental change has something to do with tackling since there is nothing out there. And what else about tackling is monumental if not RTP?

I didn't have to user catch to throw a guy open in APF 2K8. No reason why I should have to do that in Madden.

Never said you have to... But if you don't you aren't getting the whole experience as it is possibly intended.

I don't know what to think....

I get encouraged when I read someone saying the commentary is very fluid and smooth like butter.

But then again it doesn't seem like it based on that sample video. Sounds generic, robotic, and kinda bland.

I really hope we're missing something that these guys saw.

Nice write-up sir. I think it was a good decision to wait until after the second CE. Look forward to hearing more after June 4th changes humanity as we know it.

Maybe that's what the Mayan's were referring to for 2012.

Pretty funny comment.

How did user movement with the WR feel? I know they said it was toned down to help you stay on path. I had issues with user catching in Madden 12 because it's so sensitive and zig zagging is so prevalent. Momentum in madden 12 meant nothing so a streaking WR broke off his track too loosely.

Maybe they just didn't do anything to improve tackling.

I though it felt much improved. You should see a lot less zig zagging off the route then back on to trigger the animation like we saw last year.

Yeah they touched up and improved on every part of the game except tackling

Highly doubt it. Every area appears to have been touched whether its lighting, sound effects, complete overhauls to passings or minor adjustments like tuning OL/DL interaction. Tackling is easily as important as any of them yet not a single word. Seems WAY too suspicious. Not even a peep from CD attendees.

This user catch stuff doesn't sound good.

Good to hear. One more question. With a deep post toward the sideline, we're you able to put the ball up and lay it into your WR's hands without the CB swatting it down? I aways get frustrated when I see my WR has a half step on the CB but can't get the proper trajectory to put out in front.

If they didn't say anything (that I'm aware of) then there isn't much for me to say really.

Certainly, with the correct touch you can but remember not every QB can make that throw accurately. I had troubles on those type of routes with Colt McCoy but I was show to hit pretty well with QB's that had better deep accuracy and user touch.

Can someone there tell us hows tackling this year? I always make up a player and make him a MLB always have for years now so I would like to know if we have any new hits for this year? I always make the next Ray Lewis

Why not?!? Over powered user catching was one of ky pet peeves from last year. What?!? You haven't heard me complain about scrubs becoming studs because of user catching in my YouTube vids lol?!? I wouldn't be giddy about it if it was like last year, you are gonna have to trust me until you get hands on.
