So the demo and reviews are out on Madden 13. I played the demo as the 49ers, trying to get out all my bitterness at the playoff loss to the giants. Here are my thoughts:
1. Presentation: I think this is a major step up from previous years. It will get stale after a season's worth of games but I give them a thumbs up here. The uncanny valley has not been nice to Simms though.
2: Gameplay: Not much difference here to me after 4 games. The infinity engine is supposed to remove the canned animations but I guess I hardly notice the change.
I have to admit, I am surprised at the reviews. They seem quite positive of the improvements of the game. The cynic in me just discounts this to the annual factory line of Madden and COD games but I am trying to keep an open mind on whether to buy or not. I have looked at two review and one area that is still unclear to me is if superstar mode has any improvements. The only mention I see in reviews is its incorporation into an overall career mode.
Anyone else have any thoughts.
