Over the years of sports gaming, I have often been disappointed with these types of claims, and how they were executed. But I am certainly intrigued. In game hilights could be another big winner for the offline franchise crowd like myself. Hopefully they will have a mechanism to figure out what games I care about. If I am a top SEC team, I probably don't want my game interrupted with an update from the Sunbelt. However if I am a Sun Belt team battling for a top spot and a Bowl bid, I probably DO care about another Sun Belt battle......but won't really care much about what is going on in the MAC.

I wonder who will be the new studio analyst.
It will be refreshing to hear a new voice

Let's ask ourselves "What will be broken on launch?" I really hope they fixed the glaring problems with 2012 first before just adding "Fluff to Fluff"

gameplay videos and more gameplay videos, thatll be the validation, please no more useless interviews with socially awkward, way overexcited devs who dont look like they know a damn thing about football and just got done smoking a joint and then yell M-I-Z-Z-0-U! Those just kill my confidence in these people

Agreed. Give us substance and a reason to feel better about the game. This should be year of the consumer (every year should be) after the junk they've put out this gen.

Why not both?

Cautiously optimistic is the best way to approach this.

The football franchises have been getting better but as I said before, a lot needs to be fixed.

Coaches need more ratings than just prestige, HC should have some say over OC/DC (can tie into job security / prestige) such as picking a specific assistant or giving a choice to your AD such as similar playbooks, philosophies, ratings, etc and have that factor into the CPU opinion. Hiring logic needs to be fixed as does progression rate of coaches.

Hopefully RG3 is a metaphor for the resurgence of the NCAA franchise, as he was the resurgence of the Baylor Bears.

I'll say it again though, no mention of a physics system is disappointed but it's a feature I'd expect to see as a selling point to Madden, than the following year be brought out for NCAA.

I wouldn't get your hopes up this year for physics in Madden. At E3 last year, someone from the Madden team did an interview and said they know physics is a hot topic, but it would probably be something that is addressed in the near future.

The only reason I have any hopes for physics is because of Fifa and NHL having physics play to an extent in the engine. My hopes aren't too high because Tiburon has been playing status quo rather than being innovators. They are playing catch up to other franchises as far as I'm concerned. (Across other sports, obviously.)

The football games aren't horrible, but not where they should be in 2012/13
