I am impressed. I did not like 12 very much at all. 13 seems like a substantial improvement. Everything just feels much smoother. Passing game is legit, I also thought the running game has improved. The AI seems smarter, especially on defense. Crowd is much better as well.

I also saw a lot of new animations. From catching animations to tackling.

The gameplay as a whole just feels improved.

Definitely a solid step in the right direction.

wr's dropping wide open passes and balls bouncing right off the face mask when their icon is lit and wide open ....pretty bad it happened like 5 time in 1 demo game .....

Anyone notice the poor comp. % with the ESPN thing? They showed a 7-31 QB -_-

After playing a few more games:
Will have to lower kickoff strength. Everything is 5 yds into the endzone.

they changed the rule where the kicker starts the ball 5 yards up the field, and touchbacks start at the 25. that rule just came into effect, so ya, you'll kick farther into the endzone

To me, since I am a simple man, no wow factor here. But I will be buying it non the less.

I dislike how they changed the pitch controls. I keep tapping LT -.-

Wow the QB completion percentage were really low, I did see the TCU QB throw 18-29. So, that might be something. Though I did see the Iowa QB throw 7-31 so....take that with a grain of salt >.>

I was unaware. Thanks. A huge deal was made of it in the NFL last year and I didn't hear squat about it being moved up in college.

Finally seen a Baylor CPU WR dive for a catch. He dropped it though. Definitely need to ramp the diving attempt up. Since it seems like the defense does it on every pass but out of 100 passes, this is the first time I seen the WR do it.

Some punt variations!

Yea you can definitely feel the change in game play. Very apparent. I like the feel. It was strange though, as playing a regular game I noticed the zig zag running is there but the game still feels a little less "floaty", but playing heisman challenge the zig zag running was there and it looked horrible. It was like a completely different game.

My impressions of the demo:

- Better than last year's
- Feels a lot like madden 2012
- The new passing mechanics change the game for the better - very noticeable difference.
- Run game felt very overpowered - I feel confident this can be fixed with sliders
- Tackling is overdone similar to the Madden 2012 demo - can be fixed with sliders
- Love the decision making by the CPU quarterbacks when under pressure. They are not robotic and will take the sack when receivers not open
- Line interaction seems much improved. The ends seem to be effective, even while defense is playing 3 down. Good to see those big D-line men of LSU get low and drive those blockers backwards. Looks great! Can't wait to tune this; lots of potential here this year.
- Defensive backs played the ball well - loved the head tracking
- Saw quite a few new animations - love the trucking animation

All in all this game feels much smoother than last year. The crowd and stadium environment sound much better.

The issues I have with demo can most likely be fixed with sliders. Overall, I would score it about a 9.7 - good football!

Holy crap, juking with the right stick, broke some tackles and scored 6!
