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

For the first time since 1992, I won't be buying this game. For me, simply adding simple features and done well would go so far to make this game buyable.

One big area that looks to be once again ignored is a true representation of penalties. No defensive holding, no illegal contact, no personal fouls, just the typical sparse sprinkling of holding, offside, clipping, and even more rare, pass interference.

Once again, you can only send a man in motion one way without the ability of reversing his direction, what I call yo-yo motion.

Another year of not being able to customize camera angles.

Finally, I don't see the ability to shift formations.

Sadly, all four items l have listed were implemented in the last generation of games.

I don't care what engine has been implemented or lighting improvements made, or gimmicky new features added, if you can't experience the bevy of real-life penalties, move your players around realistically, and see it done the way you want then why bother with this game. And it isn't just omissions that is bringing me to this decision, it's year after year of hoping that the game will finally make me happy, but finding out it won't. I think it flat out sux; now what am I going to do?
