Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide

I think the guard not blocking was a side concern. I think his concern was that the defense just wasn't effective against that same play being run over and over again.

So, is the feeling 12 is better than 13?

I'm confused, not the 1st game I played today.

I was dissapointed in Madden NFL 12 (mainly since it didn't really feel like a 2011 sports game in comparison to other sports games released during the same year) but I'm impressed with Madden NFL 13. The game's infinity engine feels very good during running plays and tackles. Brings new life to running plays as well as playing on defense. Passing game feels basically the same but I haven't noticed defenders jumping up out of nowhere to bring down passes.

Graphics have seemed to take a bit of a hit though the game doesn't look bad. It just looks average/kind of dull during gameplay (the game looks good in replays though, especially with the new motion blur).

While it's not saying much (since the commentary in Madden 12 was absolutely horrible) the commentary has improved. Sounds more natural and there's no long pauses.

I like the new on screen graphics and transitions as well.

Overall, the game (based on the demo) is a really good improvement and brings new life into the series. Unfortunately though, it does it really late into this gen at a point in which the gen is about to end.

Two other quick thoughts ...

1) Randy Moss had dirt (almost looked like sand) all over his right arm after getting tackled on the infield. Very cool.

2) Infinity Engine can provide some great moments and some head scratchers. There is some quirkiness in the engine, but I expected that. Similar to FIFA 12 in that aspect. IE is definitely a step in the right direction.

How did you get the infield dirt? Every video I does not have it

Yea considering EA provided roster updates for madden 12 pretty much every week. So how hard is it to put 1 player in it lol

It's a demo. He'll be added into the actual game pretty quickly I'd imagine.

I took 11 off and enjoyed 12. This year the demo (so far) is leading me away from 13. I may skip it and get involved with another sports game. It's just not pulling me in.

Well, this is kinda cool. If you run into your lineman they WILL knock you down. I'm not talking about the mario running (which is still there) but if you run into them from the side? Yeah, they are gonna knock you back on your butt. Which is kinda cool

I think it's better than 12 was.

However, I think tackling took a step back because there is some terrible things that happen about 50% or more of the time.

Also, its time for a custom cam. Its very subjective, but for me this cam so far away kills the game. 2k5, and Madden 10 had the perfect standard cams. You could see the entire field(even flats, screens,etc), yet were much closer. Maddens cam doesn't zoom in and out correctly post snap. Just stays zoomed out far. Pre snap is WAY to close.

I know some people don't care about cams, but it's a big one for me. Hard to see anything from so far away,

Interesting, 12 I shelved pretty early, earlier than some other versions.

Will there be custom camera angles this year?

Played one game. Haven't played a Madden extensively in about a 2 full years, so I hoping that is why I am having a hard time moving the ball at all (on Pro no less.) Can't seem to get the passing system to work right for me. Balls sail terribly or a defensive player gets there with lightning speed to knock it down/INT it. Gonna play the second game now.

Crazy to see that there are people who are praising it and people who are just dead disappointed with it.

I think I got time out of 12 because I didn't play 11 at all. The break helped me enjoy it. That and playing with a few friends on the weekend.

Camera work has DEFINITELY taken a step back from Madden 12. It's like they tried to take what they learned from CBS last year, and make their own mash up and FAILED. The game just seems so boring now from this aspect.

I guess I have to keep looking for what you're speaking to. Like I said the other day, it's hard for me to compare M12 & M13 and draw the conclusion that the camera work now is significantly worse than what we had last year. I find it to be largely similar (aside from the shots being pulled out some). I'd go as far as to say the cam work seems more polished this year, but I'd like to spend more time with the demo before I make such a declaration.
