Madden 13 - CONCERNS

[luisffsilva]

First I want to say that I am big fan of the series and I will definitely buy.
As every year they show videos about the new feature, but when the game is released, we can not see these updates. In my opinion if they spend 50% of the time and money they spend on advertising, the game would be much better.
I understand that is a tradition, but I do not care who will be on the cover of the game. If the game was good, could have just written on the cover of "Madden" and everyone would buy.
Do not invest time and money on advertising, investing in the game because if they make a good product, the game sells itself.

PROBLEMS:

At 5:50 in this video we can see Rashard Moreno HB 220lb in straight position running over and knocking Casey Hampton DT 325lb. Really ?!? Where is tension physics ?

At 5:19 and 9:13 we see the DB just looking at the WR make the reception. Where is better coverage ??!

In the same video at 5:11 we see number 99 running free through the middle to get the sack when it gets stuck at number 77. Really ?!? We are in 2012/2013 and still continue with the same basic problems?

So that we end up like the NCAA folks (http://www.operationsports.com/featu...a-football-13/) complaining about things that we should have seen coming? Having constant freezes?

If there are problems that appear in Madden 13 videos PLEASE bring them up. So that I can see them and make an informed buying decision and not get eaten alive by EA's marketing.

you do know that the advertising department is different from the guys who actually work on the game right? and fyi this is a beta and always has some issues. stay +++

Skyboxer I agree with you, I'm just pointing out some errors I saw in the gameplay. Many are thinking that everything is perfect.
I bought EA season ticket to have the game before.
I think they are on track, but to really make THE GAME, they need to start from scratch. This platform they use is old and full of errors. For example to show the inability of them. I read, but do not know if it is true that this year we will not have how to import classes from the NCAA. They could not fix the problems with the shoulder pads.

I know that mrmadden. But if they take that money and put more developers or better developers, might be able to fix the problems.

After the NCAA debacle, I say if anything regarding Madden concerns you, feel free and let it be known! Us gamers work to hard and have been supporting these franchises too long to consistently keep getting burned on these titles. I understand that this is a game and know that it will not be perfect, but things like constant freezing (NCAA) within multiple game modes is unacceptable. When a company like EA monopolizes the sport, the big-time and diehard football fans have no other options but to suffer EA's horrible programing.

We all just want to enjoy game the game so that our hard earned money feels like it went towards a quality product that we would love to continue to support in the future.

This video is about 2.5 months prior to release date, so there is still tuning and other things to take place in that time.

And in this video, there is still 4 months to release date.

I'm not defending it, just saying wait til we see the final gameplay before you get riled up.
