I'm just concerned that Madden Vita is going to suck because we haven't seen any gameplay videos. If you were EA why wouldn't you release one? If it was good it would only drive hype and anticipation.

Agree. No information is not good.

College Football you where a good time filler but are time together is gonna get cut short for the madden 13 Demo!! Well see if Madden will crush ncaa football this year I have a feeling that once we play with the new madden engine college football 13 will feel old and boring, but well see on Tuesday!

Everything....rides on this demo. I passed on NCAA 13 this year for the first time ever (rightfully so).

Let's hope the hype is worth it on M13.

Wonder if it will have Kinect features enabled?

Wondering the same thing as well.

It's funny how your mind can change over time because a week ago I didn't care much about the demo because, it's just a demo. However, after reading some things I will be using the demo to gauge the "throw a receiver open" mechanic for Madden 13 versus the NCAA 13 demo, see if the Infinity engine does give a weight feel to controlling players like some have claimed, check on swerving/zig-zag running as best I can, watching to see how cohesive and polished whatever included presentation elements are, looking for player emotions on the field, testing out how effective the "read n react" system is for defense and how offensive/defensive players attack the ball in the air.

All that said, I am getting the game even if all that stuff stinks because of CC but that stuff will determine whether I will be playing games as a Coach or as a Player.

I think Seattle was only in the demo just to show off their new uniforms

That demo sounds well worth the wait and if Madden was played on paper, it would be the best sports simulation ever. lol

This is the first I have ever heard of the "Ball Hawk" mechanic though....

FYI, you can choose difficulty settings. 5 min quarters and it's an entire game. Will add to OP.

"On the field, you have access to everything that’s new in Madden NFL 13. This includes Total Control Passing to accurately place the ball anywhere on the field as the QB; the Ball Hawk mechanic to aggressively play the ball in the air as a defender; play action abort to cancel out of a play action when sensing pressure as a QB; use of Kinect (Xbox 360 only) to control pre-play audibles and adjustments with your voice; and of course the Infinity Engine that brings physics you can feel on every play".

EDIT- They must have just took it down and I closed the page after posting this.

What the hell is this "Ball Hawk mechanic" they're just now mentioning all about? This came out of nowhere...
