Good to hear, i've always though it was a stupid policy, and waslegitimately angered when I heard they wouldn't let IBM's CEO join despite the fact that hey'd given membership to every other previous corporate sponsor CEO.

Yeah, I wonder if they are going to give her membership now. I read the article espn.com had on it a couple months ago. Hopefully they do since she obviously deserves it.

Sleeping Dogs all the way. I rented it for a few days and had a blast! Very fun game.

[QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"][QUOTE="Rattlesnake_8"]I was going to get it on PC since thats where I've always played CS.. now it's coming to consoles I have no idea which system to get it on.Trinitarian

Yeah, I have the original game still since it works on my 360. I have bought the game already on PC and am playing the beta. It's awesome! I will probably get it on the 360 as well since it's cheap, especially if it has splitscreen.

I wish instant replay were in the demo, I can't go back and see if the same problems are still there. Still, seems like a vast improvement so far.monkeytoes61

Yeah, I don't know why they couldn't squeeze replay into that huge of a demo. I want it simply so I can look at the way the players collide and such. Especially since the instant replays they show are at the very very end of the play so you normally don't get to see anything worthwhile.

Please don't get into that 2k thing again. There are numerous threads about that already. And yes I did prefer 2k games over Madden but WHATEVER.

Anywho. I think the demo was hit and miss. The tackling and presentation is great. But the new engine had me laughing at some weird somersaults and weird motions. One time, a player did a front flip while picking up a fumble and immediately running for the defensive touchdown, all in one swift motion, but he was ruled down by contact. Just little things here and there.

I need to get used to running up the middle, because all the time I ran into or tripped over one of my linemen and was immediated dropped.

But it does feel good when the animations are going right.

I agree with you on all fronts (especially the one in bold, c'mon guys, it's getting old, we know, we know, 2k5 FTW, but right now, nothing doing with that so please try to stick to the topic at hand or just don't comment). I have also seen some interesting things happen, but for the most part, it's few and far between in comparison. If you remember, FIFA 12 had a new collision engine and it did well, but also had some VERY funny things happen. It still made the game much better overall though and FIFA 13 is already fixing most (if not all) of the issues it was having due to that. So hopefully the mess ups are minimal and then next year they can be ironed out even more if not completely.

So over the last few days my cousins and I have played a good amount of the Madden 13 demo and so far, we are very impressed. The new Infinity Engine works very well and really adds a lot to the game. What do you guys think about the demo and the Infinity Engine so far?

Just drafted for a 12 team league:

QB - Aaron Rodgers

WR - Wes Welker

WR - Percy Harvin

RB - Frank Gore

RB - Fred Jackson

TE - Jermaine Gresham

W/T - Torrey Smith

W/R - Jonathan Stewart

D - New York Giants

K - Neil Rackers

Bench - Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Tate, LaGarrout Blount, Nate Washington, Randy Moss

They gave up ONLY Bynum for Dwight... genius, Kupchak. Genius! Now their biggest obstacles are the Heat and Mike Brown lol. I'm also really happy if I'm a Denver fan. Getting Iggy can potentially net them a starting lineup with Lawson, Iggy, Gallo, Faried, and McGee. They definitely also got upgraded. The thing is, though, it probably won't matter since the Finals is starting to look a lot like a 3 horse race. That's what I hate about the NBA... Magic definitely got almost nothing, though.

They also gave up a first round draft pick. Obviously, that's not a very big deal, but I have to try and do something to take your happiness down a knotch. ;)

I thought the NBA Elite demo was a lot of fun and I really liked the controls. I also liked the fact that when you did a create a player he wasn't a complete and utter scrub like they still are in 2K. I love the 2K games, don't get me wrong, but I felt Elite had a lot going for it and I have felt that the overall gameplay was a bit more solid than in 2K's game. 2K12 is awesome, but I do wish they would do better with the passing and also put the 3 point contest and dunk contest back into the original game and not have it be some dumb addon. Looking forward to Live this year though as well as 2K.

No one outside of the US even plays football, it's a joke as a global game. It will never happen. Goodell just wants people to talk about the NFL. Bring Baseball back, though.-Halftime-

Baseball and women's softball need to be added back.
