Madden '13 Demo now available - Post your impressions here

so this sort of eliminates rocket catching right?

I doubt it. Rocket catching is nothing but the animation you get, not how you press the button to catch, no?

With all the resources EA has they couldn't have added studio updates or something like that?

Next year.

Next years feature will be importing NCAA Draft Classes and the ability to control more than 1 person in an offline franchise or CC or whatever its called.

Along with editing, fantasy draft and the other shit they couldn't add back.

Gameplay wise I would bet there will be a major overhaul for the line play; passing, catching and tackling have already been overhauled.

Along with fine tuning that Infinity Engine to clean up some of the wonky tackles and post-play interactions we've seen in the demo. Regardless, I'm still stoked for Madden this year.

honestly dont think about that..i think some sliders are placebo's anyway

If you change difficulty does the game change?
Do the sliders change simultaneously?
If you set the difficulty to AM and then move the sliders all to 50, is it changed to AP?

Placebo? Not really. Sliders is how difficulty works. Changing sliders is what happens when you click AP to AM.

game is pretty smooth (when playing CPU)
i played on both consoles; PS3 & 360.
also; played on both All-Pro and All-Madden

All-Pro was somewhat stupid. i havent touched Madden in over 4 months and i beat Seattle with RGIII & Co. pretty easily.
i can assure you my Madden timing is way off.....
All Madden was harder.....i got the shizznitt kicked out of me. Flynn looked like Dan Marino against Redskins defense which held them pretty much to meaningless TDs on AP setting.

not to mention that i also got a User Pick with Meriweather on AP setting too. LOL; i havent had a User Pick since flashlight days

did notice the difference in gameplay compared to last year, and this is on the Demo. catching, throwing was nice.
Running was pretty easy on AP setting tho......but whatever.

anyway;
i still like the game overall but the overall debate with our OFLs will be obviously the game setting

Is there really no importing of draft classes? I have followed Madden about, zero, the last 4 years. Was thinking of giving it a try again.

[killgod]

Correct.

Skipping the last few years probably was good for you if you're not into online league play, but this isn't the year to skip for anyone. Wouldn't view this omission as a reason to avoid.

Can't we edit draft classes this year?

That fucking video is HILARIOUS!!!

Nope.

[Rayman]

It's still hard as fuck to rush the passer from the left side. There's absolutely no reason I shouldn't be able to get to the QB easier with Aldon Smith or JPP than fucking Ahmad Brooks.
