I just finished my first game of the demo. I played as the Redskins and defeated the Seahawks 17-7. I played on All-Pro with default settings except for game speed which I dropped down to "slow".

The pre-game open is pretty nice. They show the teams' logos and then focus on some of the key players. I'd rather they do what NBA 2K does in the open when they show on-court highlights of the players before the game, but I still enjoyed the open.

Nantz and Simms are a definite improvement over Johnson and Collinsworth. I spent most of last year with the commentary turned off, I've only played one game so far, but I expect I won't have to do that this year. The only mistake I noticed was when I brought a pick back for a TD and Nantz said "Time for the no-huddle offense". Other than that I enjoyed the commentary.

The gameplay feels improved over M12. I didn't notice any of the unbelievable moments that I dealt with in 12. Last year the CPU would always bomb it on 3rd and long and my DBs would do nothing to stop it. This situation came up once in my playthrough and both the CB I was controlling and the safety went for the ball and broke up the pass.

I've only played one game so it's too early to tell, but overall it feels like the on-field aspect of M13 is an improvement over M12.
