I wish NCAA Football 13 had the commentators faces in the game like Madden NFL 13 is doing. Hopefully NCAA Football 14 will do that.

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
Don't worry it seems like the only time you will see that cutscene is before the show and it a very quick cutscene. I hope the have a half time show and I also hope they talk about other teams and games around the league.My blog: http://lazy-rainbow.blogspot.com/Comment

Traded Madden 12 in yesterday (along with NHL) and picked up TW 13 CE. Nantz does a good job in the golf games, and I'm glad that he's been added to Madden, along with his commentary partner, Simms.
The audio was one of the main reasons I ditched M12. It was terrible, no other way to explain it.
I'm glad to hear that Nantz and Simms will comment on what's going on in your season, that should really help add to the immersion of Franchise Mode.
Graphically, this game is looking great. I agree with others that it is disappointing there's no screenshot option like in other games.Currently Playing:

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
Madden NFL 13 will feature a total control passing mechanic, where you lead receivers with the “L” stick. So, for example, you have a receiver split out wide, running a go-route against a cover 2. Just after the chuck, there is a small window of opportunity for you to throw a pass to the outside shoulder on the sidelines. You do this by timing it right, holding the “L” stick and pointing it towards the sidelines.My blog: http://lazy-rainbow.blogspot.com/Comment

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
I'll wait for the audio preview before I jump to a conclusion but I could care less about pregame presentation audio. My biggest issue with M12 was the dead air and repetitive statements from the commentators. I need to see more in-game commentary before I get happy.Comment

Watched the whole presentation part of the webcast replay - Nice. Still think Jim and Phil look silly but, again, very welcome addition to have the booth. The presentation definitely has CBS all over it. I guess they had to do something with that license since they only used it once for NCAA basketball.
I know the game could use a lot more work but I was disappointed to not hear anything about penalties being reworked and "authenticated". I still don't understand how that can be overlooked, again.Just cuz you pour syrup on ish....Comment

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
LOL. You know what I mean. I just hope that the "audio" improvements arent just generic pregame statements by Nantz and Simms talking about unnamed Linebackers being an important part of the game.
I have very little patience with EA when it comes to promoting new "features" and then using the "It's year 1" excuse when the feature comes up short. EA did that when it brought Collinnsworth on and when it added Johnson. I expect that the audio will at the minimum be a marked improvement from last year.Comment

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
Also, after reading the presentation blog, I want to give credit to the awesome seeming design work that the art team has done. I read a lot of complaints about the unrealistic look of the field last year, from long grass to blotchy patches, so nice work fixing that.
I honestly believe the "little" details attended to by the art team will have a subtle but significant impact on the immersion of the game. Just want to let that group know we all appreciate it, even though they are usually unsung like offensive lineman and special team role players. lolComment

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions
Well right at the 36:00 mark of the webcast, the slide specifically states "Nonstop Banter-No dead air".Comment
