Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Available Now For 360, Post Your Impressions

WOW!

I just downloaded this patch, restarted an offline CCM, and man... what a difference. Madden 12 is going to have a hard time staying in my XBOX. CCM game play feels excellent. The sliders work guys, CPU play calling logic is better, fatigue and auto subs work.

There are a few disappointments though. You can only select your teams uniforms and can't watch CPU vs CPU games.

As one of Madden 13's harshest critics, I can tell you that this patch made a vast improvement. I only played one game, and may see differently after a few more, but right now... just WOW!

The patch just came out, how do you know the CPU playcalling logic is better? Seems way to quick to make that call.

"Only played one game" those were initial impressions.
