I'm mostly enjoying the game. I might buy it if there's not any horrible bugs in connected careers.

I liked the passing in NCAA and I like it here too. The infinity engine is neat. Still a wip and seems to switch between relatively convincing and awkward more often than you'd like. Biggest disappointment with it is that tackles still feel extremely weak. Running still feels too disconnected and floaty, but the animations themselves look good enough to me.

There's a nice base here, I pray the transition to next gen doesn't screw everything up.

Agreed the tackles on D are really my only big concern with the game at the moment, besides the camera .

My Madden NFL 13 Impressions
after six hours of downloading time (My patience had to be elite to withstand the wait)

I’m proud to announce the wait was well worth it. Madden had me very impressed after one game resulting in a 28-10 victory for me (Niners)

First match was all-pro difficulty all on default, Auto-Sprint/strafe= OFF

Passing game
A.Smith 11-19, 57%, 176yds, 2Tds, 0ints my thoughts: His passes felt real , trajectories and total control +++ !! His arm and mobility really felt limited to degree. Had to hot route extra blockers on deep routes because of Giants dline.
Smith was sacked 4 times/ SF Wr’s had 3 drops in game no clean drops all involved collision.

Cool play I was in pocket and DE beat tackle I QB avoided up (R-stick flip UP) in pocket and was smashed directly from behind a few seconds later and players stopped but I was hit into my C,RG and Alex smith stumbled off them and turned backwards and put hand on ground and still was a live play I rolled out and chucked a deep ball to vernon davis but he dropped it as he was hit catching it+++!

E.Manning 13-21, 61%, 187yds, 1Td, 1int My thoughts: Eli clearly had a more tuned arm compared to smith. His balls came with more zip and tighter spirals.
My D sacked Eli 5 times, LE R.Mcdonald had 3scks No Dt’s sacks in game at all all ends & linebackers.. Good playcalling by me slow Eli down,

Base align (pre-snap audible) works very well I finally see nickels roll over to safety slots and linebackers n DB’s shift into base formation alignments +++! Defensive button responsiveness is superior swats and catches all quick response and look great.

On mannings 1 int, It was a deep ball between Cruz & Terrell Brown both players had 1 hand on ball and then Brown came down with ball falling on his back due to infinity. Best interaction on pass ive ever seen on madden there was no tackle both players just leaped high n Cruz downfield lunged pressed on CB and made him topple on his back while holding on for INT ++++

Running Game
F.Gore 10att, 73yds, 1Td, Long 37, My thoughts his jukes and balance were best obviously on squad. Players bounce around but can keep balance if hit at right angle.(A.Smith play especially) I did fall on first few runs from colliding with my blockers..

The Giants barely ran the ball no effect on all pro default 11att, 17yds lol

Defense I really felt Patrick Willis and Bowman on D they were really only two players on my team who I could feel really stopping guys momentum in their tracks. Really felt the umph & unload in their hits.

Other Notes:
Returned a Punt with Ted ginn after a phenomenal juke then cutback and 2 crackback no hand blocks on the way!!
- Break tackles are any given and nice
- I will play more games and leave detailed impressions. Also plan on getting some quality slider & setting testing in with the demo

I had plenty of instances that should have credited guys with assisted tackles, but it didn't happen. I found that disappointing.

Bumped it down to slow and it played very smoothly. Loved the feel. Definitely a buy now since I skipped last year.

I guess you haven't seen a game broadcast by Jim Nantz and Phil Simms in real life. Let's just say they're not Gus Johnson or Kevin Harlan.

Sucks when you have a game winning drive and they commentate it the same way they would when you call a Time Out... lol Maybe I caught them on a bad day... haha

The whole camera angle issue needs to be patched in this game;there is to much evidence to support this claim.It's all about match ups;and with the camera the way it is now you can't tell if your Tight end is covered by a defensiveback or a linebacker PRESNAP.Dose anyone understand that we should be able to see the opposing teams personnell threats PRESNAP," so we can adjust our play calling accordingly".However with the camera view the way it is now we can't because the VIEW limits our decision making presnap .Deciding if we should be leary of the opposing teams personnel or take advantage of the other teams personnel/match up is clearly a shot in the dark as it is now .Just boggles me that none of the gamechangers or devolpers ever notice this glarring problem.

NO PUN INTENDED

You know you can zoom out presnap dont you? My issue with the camera is during after snap as its a little too far zoomed out.

Also, I hate the lighting. I played Seahawks @ Redskins, and the sun is so bright that the players end up just looking like shadows in the gameplay camera. It's especially frustrating when returning a punt, and i literally can't tell who's on my team until I'm 5 yards up field.

Lol, that was funny, and I'm being sarcastic. Anyway, what I mean when I say they "run it", is Ea is in control of the football market.

But I'm still playing the demo and I still plan on buying the game. I really think some sliders and ratings adjustments will improve this game.

My guess would be because of the gang tackles from the IE. Its a new tackling engine so the stats are probably brand new to the code. I am guessing this is something they have had plenty of time to integrate since the finalization of the demo.

I saw no issues with the lighting in my game between Redskins -Seahawks .

Same here, I didn't see any issue. Then again I have Color, Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness all turned up to 100 on my TV so mine is going to be a little more brighter and the lighting issue won't be seen.

I like what I seen, but to me Connected Careers is what I need to see. The presentation and commentary made me think I was watching an actual game on CBS. There is still that issue of Phil talking for so long that it doesn't stop until middle of the next play. I also noticed again that the AI Clock Management hasn't been fixed, there is still that un needed timeout at 1:01 left in the 4th. Overall it was great and it does make me want to get the game despite wanting to stick with Madden 12 but I'll have to see what the reactions are to Connected Careers before I decide to buy the game or not.

Dont really feel like beating a dead horse;but if you interested in my reason, heres a thread I made a while back behind the camera views.

Well it is safe to say that the demo at least once again looks weaker on ps3...crap

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

OMG i just saw a Pass Interference penalty

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

I can't believe the players have no weight when running... Press left on your joystick, He turns on a dime without planting his feet.. Same for right... It's Not good... I hate that they haven't fixed this yet.... With that said I am not having a terrible time with the game.. DOing pretty good... The issue above just gets me frustrated
