Madden NFL 13 Review (PS3/360)

[assclown25]

dorian to get back to what you asked the age diff was 28 and 22 the contract diff was roughly 2mill and i the LB from Pitt was a 3rd round choice and i even offered them a 3rd rounder and they still declined! Doesnt make much sense-and im fine with not being able to edit a player once inside ( stupid CCM) but we should at least be able to switch their equipment and position i dont care bout ratings

Re: Madden NFL 13 Review (PS3/360)

I was also upset about not being to edit players. Then I thought how, in every sports game, I usually abuse editing and being able to edit players also killed little things like scouting and the draft. Why would I care about the draft or scouting when I could just edit my players later? I think not being able to just edit your players and give them whatever rating you want adds a challenge. So instead of screaming bloody murder im going to accept the challenge. :wink:

The thing with me why editing is such a big deal....is because I don't want to play that aspect of the game(Be a GM..RPG stat points)

I get nearly all my enjoyment from the game seeing the Players on the field looking and Playing as authentic as possible on virtual gamedays....

The problem is there are many areas that I feel EA screws up with the ratings/schemes/depth charts that it spill out onto the field where it forces me to take notice

Having the ability to edit allows me to correct things and get back to playing the game on the field

I do agree with the bolded

Can somebody explain how do you play season games while using multiple teams, if at all possible. I like taking 1 team from each division and playing it in franchise mode. But being there isn't a franchise mode, how can I accomplish this? I don't want to play as an individual player, I want to use the whole team.

The best Madden to date

[assclown25]

Radney you are NOT able to- which is extremly frustrating to me also! im hoping- no praying that they will use this feedback and have it in a patch- this 1st patch should be a big one with all the issues!

[humanprototype]

Funny how every year it is "the best Madden to date" upon release. Give it a month for the reality to set in. I hope you're right, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. I'll be purchasing Friday. Hopefully they'll patch major issues soon. Fingers crossed...

[La Verite]

The fact that you need a patch this early says a lot tho. Yes patches are good but I can't see one coming until like a month from now. Hopefully that will change my mind.

So I went out and got it... Just finished my first game with my Jets against the Dolphins...7min qtr, no accelerated clock, All-Pro settings, Slow and speed threshold at 35. I gotta say one thing... I actually had fun playing Madden for the 1st time in a long time. I mean I seen some wonky stuff... But nothing to damper the mood of the game. It was a 34-9 win on my part and it was enjoyable. I didn't see any issues with running the ball... I had 106 yards rushing... Passing was pin point and I had 200 yards with Sanchez, although I saw a lot of drops... It happens... Defense was smooth I had a few sacks and a user pick. I also ran a KR back with McKnight which was rare in M12. So far so good, hope with a few patches they fix some things... Only disappointment is no regular Franchise mode which is my fav mode. Gonna keep messing with it and get a good slider set. Most fun I had in a football game since 2K5 and I'm a huge 2K5 fan and supporter.

Hopefully 2K5 and 2K8 will stop being mentioned on these forums now. Madden 13 puts them out to pasture.....Thank goodness...... : )

Really?? I find that hard to believe. Especially with a glaring DB glitch that's got a lot of ppl up in arms

"Gone are the days of ........ as well as the ability to do a fantasy draft. But the subtraction of those takes away absolutely nothing from the game in my mind."

This statement by the reviewer is mind numbing. You choose a philosophy of winning football and implement it through this mode. You test your philosophy against the AI or other live players. The knowledge of what it takes to build a winning football franchise instead of "Y button, LT, Y button, A, A, X".

In your mind, huh, Dustin.

WOW.

With the typos in the article and that statement right there .. you should be disqualified from reviewing 3DS games much less the biggest sports game release of the year.

This isn't so much Dustin's fault as it is the management of this site.

This is Madden. You can't assign a guy like this to review a release of this stature.

[spottieottiedop]

I'm loving M13 so far. Played 3 online games, and the passing was on point, the rushing is realistic and the defense is behaves normally and the Infinity Engine brings it all together. I haven't played any other mode, but I feel the gameplay is the cake and everything else is the icing.

[bigdoc85]

I"m enjoying it -- first Madden game I have liked in a while. While I play Dynasty in NCAA Football, I've always just played exhibitions in Madden so the lack of other game modes doesn't bother me. I got the PS3 version and I think the graphics look pretty good -- except the coaches with their weird bodies. By no means is this game perfect but I feel like I can finally have some fun with this game. The last few years it has seemed like I had to force myself to finish a game and the presentation in Madden 12 was SO BAD that I couldn't take it. Now, it's better than tolerable so that's a step in the right direction. So glad I traded in Madden 12 earlier this year and used that money to "upgrade" to this year's edition.

Just got the game. I like the direction it is going. the physics engine is awesome, though it is the first interation of it. You can't deny that we all wanted this years ago, but now we have version 1. I am just glad to see the push to do it.

The presentation has taken a great step forward. Josh Looman and the team are on the right path. I have wanted this since I moved off of the ps2.

The commentary is ok, but VERY generic. I love that they added legends, but why can't i put them in FA for the computer in CC?

Excellent game though requires less closed doors. no editing, no multiplayer offline CC, game face requires the internet, game face can only be one per account, no creating players, just ONE and you have to control them.

Great step in the right direction. This is what I want in a game. If next year it goes off the rails again, I am done. But Josh Looman said this is the direction for the next 10 years. More then anyone at EA, I trust him with this.
