Re: Has the demo changed your mind about buying Madden 13?

I could stop Eli and Alex using the same tactics as I used to shut down RG III (although RG3 was prone to run more after getting abused a few times). The AI is what is holding this game back from me immersing myself and forgiving any minor annoyance or peeve I might have with the game. I already have to play with house rules to give the cpu a fighting chance, so if each game feels the same the gameplay will pretty much look the same after a while.

If they can fix the AI (vary play calling, better time management, other CC logic), incidental contact flopping, the dead silence in the stands once you put up a 40 burger, and stop Sims from calling my olb a CB just because I changed defenses then Madden 13 has my money. I don't think any of that will happen though.

forgot to add they have to fix the replays. If you don't show the whole play displaying what happened....what's the use. When i watch a replay on tv they usually show a breakdown in coverage, a good double team, an excellent cut... the demo shows you really short clips drawn out by slow motion.
Tre I agree about how each individual team should play. I want to go into each individual game having some sort of gameplan because this team likes to do this or that. I didn't get that feel in the demo either.

Really stupid question and not a big deal....but has everyone noticed that the cpu always receives when they win the toss? I know a few teams like to get the ball first but there are probably more that like to start the game off with their D. Not a big deal like I said, just an observation.
