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

A few positive things I've noticed:

#1- You can finally stuff runs up the middle
#2- The passing lanes have opened up a bit. I felt like I could make a few passes that would usually be caught/knocked down by the CPU
#3- You do get some really great animations with the new engine
#4- New catching animations are great

A few negative:

#1- Blocking is still whacky with the OL making some terrible decisions. WR screen: I have an OL set up perfectly to take out the defender coming to tackle me from the front and the OL goes behind the LOS to block somebody chasing me.

#2- Deep routes take too long and the DL gets on you so fast. It was hard to let a route fully develop before getting sacked.

#3- The crazy infinity animations (mainly post play)

#4- I don't like the kicking meter.

ONE non-demo related question:

Can we use sliders in user/user games this year?

I want to say I heard we can but would love confirmation.
