I agree that all of the pictures we have seen are from madden 12. If they are from 13 then it's not much of an overhaul though thenfact they never released a teaser or a suprer bowl blog means to me that they werent finished or close to an alpha stage. I doubt the monumental game change is anything kinect based. Just a thought, wouldn't audio fall under presentation?

Depends on what the audio is used for. If it is purely just the sounds then yeah. But if the audio is used to control game play, it will fall under game play.

I'm guessing that would be the kinect feature then. Call out your own plays perhaps?

Well, forgive me if I am skeptical, as I feel as though I have read these same marketing blurbs many times.

these lines alone: Madden NFL 13 is all-new from boot up to credits. Every mode, every screen, every pixel has been reinvented delivering the most innovative, connected, and authentic Madden NFL experience in franchise history.--

-I just do not believe. They will have to prove that to me before I give them any more of my money

Oh god please no emphasis on that Motion Control malarkey.....big waste of time with where that tech is

"blurring the line between virtual and reality."

My top two guesses both have negatives to what it is

*Revamped playoook/Playcalling/Gameplanning
Adding Tiered Plalycalling and a Package Creator that allows you to swap Players IN/Out in the menus before a game would definitely make teams more authentic....and a File sharing System with that would take it to another level for the community

-But Im not sure something like that fits with the tag line....Im not sure that would stand out enough to the average Player for it to live up to that tag line


*Revamped Physics
This is the obvious one.....that would certainly live up to the claim....

-But this is a business....and we're in the last year of this gen....
Why would EA roll this what Im sure was expensive tech out now, when they could put it off until the new consoles arrive???

My Wilcard is

*Revamped Fatigue/Moral/Physicality Factor
Ive always wanted a system that lets your team Break the "Will" of the other team over the course of a game

Whether its through Punishing hits to the Offense that maybe triggers new animations....
WRs who pull up on balls because they are tired of getting clobbered for example

Or on O, being able to suck the life out of a game with a stout running game that picks up 1st down after 1st down

i think "connected careers" may be something like comparing friends stats or something along those lines. For people that love to play franchise offline but like to see how their friends are doing as well in theirs. Always staying "connected". I feel like EA used the term "connected" a lot when they refer to your friends and online.

Also I think the gameplay blog 2 will be DPP 2.0 like many have already said. NCAA cannot have this feature because of the whole "player likeness" thing being a problem in NCAA. However Madden can do these sorts of things.

I approve of all these faces Sage.

Anyway I enjoy speculation, keep it going.

I enjoy real news more!!

Btw, didn't they say gameflow would revolutionize the way we play games? We all know Kinect and Online Franchise will be new features, just not sure if they are main or minor yet. I really hope these claims are as good as they say they are. Physics would be nice.

I think connected careers is NFL Superstar online. You choose your player, and someone else chooses theirs, and you are tied in the same league. You might get to play each other.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Features Playbook Kicks Off April 25th, with Presentation and Gamep

I think Franchise is a "career mode" though.

Connected Careers (June 4th)

With Connected Careers, Madden NFL 13 will revolutionize the way sports video game career modes are played.

I think this means that Online Franchise, Offline Franchise and Superstar are now all connected together. I think that's why they are not slated for different playbooks like last year.

Please for the love of God I hope you are right. Because if there is no improvements this year in offline franchise. There will be alot of P.O. hardcore franchise guys out there. Hoping Career mode ain't got to do with only with stats. While stats are important and all. There is other things in franchise mode more important needing to be fixed. Hoping career mode is alot more then just stats.

How does EA blurr the lines between virtual and reality? Physics engine, every hit will not look the same.

Excitement about Madden 13 in general:






About possibility of a Kinect/Move feature:



EDIT: I just realized how obnoxiously large that kiddie-face pic is...

Re: Madden NFL 13 Features Playbook Kicks Off April 25th, with Presentation and Gamep

I would think it would have to be something like "FIFA Physics" making a small integration into gameplay. I mean honestly what else can be considered "monumental"??? O-line vs D-line integration would be fantastic but hardly monumental. Advancements to the DPP like Big suggests does not seem monumental in my eyes. It would just be a tweak and increase to a already working system.

So my guess would be the integration of the FIFA physics engine. I don't believe it would make a full blown integration with tackles and such. But I could see it making a appearance in WR vs DB jostling while running down field & also going up for jump balls "contact in air". This seems to also jive with the new focus on the passing game.

That is my guess at least, anything less would be a let down in my opinion.

From EA's removed statement the other day

Madden NFL 13 is all new from the ground up, including an online Connected Careers mode where you can build your own personal legacy or relive a legend’s, all while each of your milestones gets broadcast in a socially connected universe. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms call the action from the booth, while you call your own shots using Kinect.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Features Playbook Kicks Off April 25th, with Presentation and Gamep

Come on, I want to see Franchise improvements too. Hopefully that'l be included in Gameplay. Hopeful the Devs did improve the commentary. The more I think about it, the more I think that NBA 2k12 is a great example for future sports games.

Ah, so it IS Kinect-related.
