Madden '13 Demo now available - Post your impressions here

[krulmichael]

It will play like NCAA not really hyped about Madden this year.

I HIGHLY doubt it plays the same.

I HIGHLY doubt it plays the same.

NCAA 12 and Madden 12 played the same and that can be said about 11 and 10 for both games. I expect nothing more than maybe a slightly more polished version of NCAA 13.

Call me crazy but NCAA 12 and Madden 12 were much different in terms of gameplay too me. :dunno:

I don't see how anyone could compare NCAA and Madden to each other over the past few years. The games are night and day difference. Even if you made the argument that they were the same last year, you would still have to account for Madden having an entirely new engine for this year. There is no way the games will play alike. Which isn't to say that I have not liked NCAA this year, the Golden Herbie OD has been a lot of fun but Madden will be an entirely different game.

You mean that half ass real time physics?

Why so negative? The Infinity Engine definitely isn't a total overhaul of the current engine. They just worked on improving it. It isn't full real-time physics, but an animation driven physics engine. It won't completely change how the game plays, but will make the tackles and player interactions look more like what you would see in real life.

I'be gotten burned by Madden one to many times, I'll check out the demo but I'm expecting NCAA 13 with NFL.

They were. NCAA 12 and Madden 12 were completely different games. Madden12 was much better than NCAA 12. Hell Madden 12 is better than NCAA 13.

Didn't they mention in a video that '13 had the same gameplay teams on both games? I know the Ex UF QB shows up for both Madden & NCAA videos talking about QB improvements.

More discussion from Dewiel on what "Ball Hawk" means

I guess it's like contact vs zone hitting in The Show.

Contact being, you just push the button and let the dice roll/ratings decide if it's gonna happen. AKA Ball Hawk.

Zone being, you time it and move your bat into the spot. AKA what we do now, moving the player and timing the catch/swat.

Looks like choosing heads will always win the coin toss.

Yes, they have the same gameplay teams, which was recently expanded (I think doubled?). NCAA's gameplay has been years behind Madden's so I wouldn't expect Madden 13 to play anything like NCAA 13.

 

[Prodigal Son]

The NCAA game has always used the previous years madden for it's engine. That's been known for over a decade now.

 

[Derrville]

The passing game is horrendous in NCAA. You can at least throw over defenders at times in Madden or not worry the DB will run the route before your WR does.

Those games played nothing alike. NOTHING alike.

The Vita demo that is also coming tomorrow will feature the New York Giants vs. New England Patriots.

 

[Aso]

Didn't realize the 14th is tomorrow. I'm super syked.

sliders, game speed, speed threshold all options in the demo.

 

[ryne candy]

Presentation wise...best ever IMO. I wonder what bugs it come out with that will hinder the game (like NCAA). I know for a fact that the home team "Will Rock You."
