Madden 13 Demo: 3 Positives & 3 Negatives

Cons1. Gravity Mentioned as a positive in the running game, the fluid motion that is possibly caused by the new Infinity Engine for more realistic player collisions gives a feeling of weightlessness, and arguably, an arcade-like feel, which might not be classed as a positive from all quarters. Those who prefer a realistic in-game experience might see it as a compromise too far, but then the effect on gameplay might well over-balance that for others. As I said before, it's definitely one to watch. 2. Lighting Ever wondered what Varsity Blues would be like if it was a hard-hitting detective show from the 1950s? Well, simply turn on Madden 13, turn your TV to black and white and enjoy. The shadows here are ridiculous: on the one side it's like a carnival, whilst the other is like a carnival of the undead as silhouettes of past players hunt you down. EA Sports seem to have picked winter-sun mode, just at that moment before it implodes ending life on earth forever.
