You actually have a buzz for this game?? Lol I'm entitled to my opinion and Madden is what it is... I guess playing quality sport sims like The Show, NBA 2K and Fifa doesn't allow me the right to say that Madden still isn't better than NFL 2K5? Because it isn't 8 years later. Enjoy your NFL JAM.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you are ruining the experience for others with your negative comments. Calm down, go rant somewhere else.

I'm not getting this at all lol, I can download games on steam, around 7 gbs and it only takes three hours. My estimated completion for madden is 1882 mins, what gives?

I loved 2k5, and I still own it and play it to this day. That being said Madden 12 was better than 2k5 by far. I am sure Madden 13 will be as well.

Oh, IGN actually gave Madden 13 a 9! SHOCKED!! They usually MURDER Madden....although last year they gave it an 8. Last year was a good stepping stone for this year with Tripp McNealy or whatever that guy's name is who took up the head honcho job for Madden, last year. Heh...

You aren't downloading from the Steam servers. That is the difference.

No MUT in early release. CRAP

Yes I do, I only play football and hockey titles and seeing how EA Sports has a monopoly on that market I have no choice but to enjoy Madden 13. It's your God given right to play 8 year old games and voice your opinion of current generation games, based on those old A$$ games.
 
# 213 bcruise @ 08/24/12 07:10 PM
Just for the record, are you guys saying the servers are down on XBOX or PS3?

true but there's some people on here already done, and I'm going to have to wait a day by the estimated time. My internet speeds are pretty good, 8Mbps, so I'm just wondering what the issue is. Maybe it's that wireless.

Gotta respect u, bruh. While I did NOT like 2K5 from a gameplay level but the presentation, and animations as well as a lot of the little things are still unparalleled even with Madden 13 stepping up it's game even more.

However, I will say that when I play the Madden 13 demo, it feels more like a Sunday afternoon watching an NFL game on CBS than NFL2K5 ever felt like even watching a Sunday Night NFL game on ESPN. The feeling of actual NFL football wasn't there for me like Madden NFL 13 but 2K5 did it's thang! I can't hate on the overall package one iota. It was a definite trailblazer, without doubt.

# 220 mrclutchimself @ 08/24/12 07:19 PM
I was worried with no Ultimate Team. But they give u some pretty good legends to start with. Not gonna spoil who they are though. I guess I gotta dive into
CC. All defense league pm if u down.
