I think the exact same way. They can't possibly recreate the real thing 100%, but people seem to think they should. I didn't think Madden 13 was as great as you, but I thought it was very good.

Way too low. There has only been one year where the team that led the nation is rushing was under 300ypg and they were at 292. The last several years the sim engine has been broken in this category and I'm wondering if that has changed.

I actually agree. For all the bashing Madden took last year I actually thought it was a decent game. I played on default All-Madden sliders and was satifisfied.

My thing is that the sim engine and penalties have been broken for years and yet this area seems like it should be the easiest to fix. But every year it seems like the same old thing. I know sliders can fix gameplay but they can't fix the simulation aspect.

Madden 13 was a joke. One of the sloppiest, ugliest, most unplayable football games I've ever played that has so many problems I don't even have time to list them. And this was after they patched it and finally put the things most Madden fans love back into the game after public outcry.

NCAA 14 is worth buying if you can find a deal on ebay. I got mine for $45 w/ free shipping and there were quite a few copies left at this price range last time I checked. If you don't like it then it won't hurt as much when you trade it in for Madden down the road. $60 for a football game is a little ridiculous w/ next gen coming soon

Gameplay is much improved, option running game is a lot of fun, and it's amazing to finally see the blocking work this way. Still has plenty of problems w/ the secondary but sliders help minimize them. Also, college football is an offensive game nowadays so averaging high amount of points and rushing yards isn't out of the ordinary. It feels good when the CPU is able to run the ball and compete b/c that is something I haven't seen happen in quite a while. It was almost impossible to lose to the CPU in M13.

I know quite a few people have said to buy a discounted or new copy which I would normally do. However, my PS3 stopped playing discs so my only option is to pay the full retail digital copy. I should have mentioned this in the beginning.

Sucks. Mine did that a few weeks ago and I just sold the thing. You would have to pay full price and also not have the ability to trade it in later.... pass on it pal

It is actually fun. That is something I haven't been able to say since 11.
