So the Demo comes out tomorrow (8/14) and features the NFC Championship Game Rematch between 49ers and Giants OR you can choose Redskins vs Seahawks (odd pairing). Who's got plans to download the Demo and/or buy the game? Ill be getting it for PS3 on the 30th. I cant wait to see how good/bad the 49ers are going to be on this with all their added weapons.

I'm kind of interested in getting it. I'm not a HUGE NFL fan but I like playing Madden.

Ive been out of the Madden phase for a long time...mainly because the Niners were so bad I couldnt stand playing with them. Of course, about two-three years ago things started looking up and Ive slowly gotten back into playing it. Last year sucked because I liked passing the ball and VD was the only guy I had that could catch. Crabtree was very realistic in which he'd only catch the ball half the time. Really looking forward to all the offensive weapons this year though. I think Im going to get more detailed into my packages where I start using different players for different formations. Go a more "power" route with Smith/Gore/Jacobs and a more speed rout with Kaepernick/Hunter/James.

Just finished a game in the demo. Love the changes. First time in a while I feel like they're actually going to have an overall positive effect on the game.
This is the most different things have felt since I started playing Madden several years ago. Can't wait for the 28th.
Does the demo have Kinect support? I've got a Kinect laying around collecting dust, I suppose I'll hook it up for Madden.

Played the demo a few times and one thing I fell in love with was the upgrade on the kick return. As soon as the return man catches the ball, he is off running and FAST. Just like in an actual game. The tripping over your own offensive guy can get a little annoying but oh well. I feel defensive line is much more difficult to play as, as opposed to M12. Some kinks that will hopefully be fixed by the time the actual game comes out, Im pretty excited for this.

The demo for the PS Vita is a Super Bowl rematch, Giants Vs. Patriots. I downloaded for the Vita today. Seems like it plays pretty well. If there's cross-platform saving like what was seen for MLB 12: The Show, my days of Madden on the 360 are over, and Madden on the PS3 begin with M13.

Had the hardest time last night trying to get tackling down. But beyond that, a pretty good experience.
Can't say I was too thrilled with yet ANOTHER change to kicking the ball. I was perfectly fine with the last two years.

Just pre-ordered it off Amazon. Got a $15 credit.
Pretty good deal for anyone considering a pre-order.

I was really fired up for this game but as I started to do my research and dig deeper...Im totally pissed off. Offline Franchise Mode is completely ed. 1)You can choose to be a coach or a player. 2)If you're a coach you cannot use any created/edited players (which ruins it right there for me) 3)If you choose to be a created player...you can only use THAT player. Therefore if I want to put Ace Nivro as a linebacker for the 49ers, I can ONLY be Ace Nivro...I cant switch to Patrick Willis or Aldon Smith if the offensive ball carrier is on the other side of the field. 4)You cant play other teams games: If you're the Niners in a franchise and you need the Rams to lose their last game to go to the playoffs. You cant play the Rams game to make sure they lose. 5)No importing/exporting Draft classes: That's right. Not happy with your QB? Want to bring in Matt Barkley with the first pick? Not going to happen. You cant import draft classes and you'll get a generic Jim Bob Jones as the #1 pick....and as previously stated...You cant edit him to make him Barkley. Gah, EA Sports just s everything up

Did they replace Franchise with Connected Careers?
What a stupid decision. I'm all for replacing Superstar Mode, but this sounds like too much.
One of my favorite things was creating "drama" by releasing some players/letting them got to FA and then switching teams, and having another team pick up that person. So I better at least be able to switch teams each off season.

So I better at least be able to switch teams each off season. Franchise and Superstar mode both have been scrapped in favor of the Connected Careers mode. Which I would be ok with if you could do like what both of us wanted. Start a Franchise/Season with edited/custom rosters. Instead you're stuck with who you have unless you can work the computer for trades....which is never.

Just pre-ordered it off Amazon. Got a $15 credit. Pretty good deal for anyone considering a pre-order. Hah, I pre-ordered it a few months ago from Amazon when they had a $5 off promo, and I used some leftover credit to get it for free. I emailed them to see whether or not I'd still qualify for this promo, and they assured me that I would. So they are essentially paying me for the game. I'll take it! I somehow missed that franchise mode had been scrapped. That sucks, big time.

Franchise Mode is still in, it's just Connected Careers as a coach.

I still can't believe they took out imported draft classes. One thing I looked forward to every year was building my team through the draft. Really puts a damper on the game, but I still plan on buying it. I'm about to download the demo.

Yeah, I can't help but scratch my head at the decision. I mean, NCAA '13 had no issue implementing the player based style (Road to Glory) and the traditional franchise/career mode.
I know that Connected Careers is "technically" franchise, but it still eliminates a lot of key features that should be a total given when it comes to NFL games.

There is NO cross-platform play and no cross-platform saves in Madden 13 this year, no is there Ultimate Team on the Vita....really bummed but kinda forced to buy as its the only football game out for the system. #FeelsBadWastingMoney
