Madden NFL 13 Review (PS3/360)
 

“Chase your dream.”

That’s what my coaches used to tell me. It’s what my friends and family tell me to this day. But what if my dreams and aspirations always involved playing or coaching in the NFL? Sad to say that for myself, and probably most of you, that playing in the NFL just isn’t going to be happening anytime soon. So we do what we do best, we compromise and try and fulfill are dreams within the Madden football series.

Well thanks to the near-complete redesign of the said series, in Madden NFL 13 those dreams may be able to finally come to fruition more than ever. With new animations, the most innovative Madden feature to date – and possibly any sports game ever – Connected Career mode, and the introduction of the Infinity engine, Madden NFL 13 should finally be able to please both the hardcore and casual gamers.

Being skeptical when reviewing the most anticipated sports game of the year is a must. You find yourself looking for wrongs moreso than rights. But after playing Madden for a week, those wrongs don’t tend to come up too often.

Great review. Agree with the score as well.

Replay Value? Does the commentary keep up with each season as they process. Like are you mentioned as the defending champions? Or is this game all about scouting and drafting when it comes to the connected Careers mode as far as being a coach. Thanks in advance

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Best Madden ever made?

While I can't disagree or agree at the moment, that is a big statement.

I was on the fence for this years game, but that review just swung me over to the "buy" side. It's hard to get an objective view on the forums. I've never known a game that produces such contrasting views (though NCAA Football is up there), with some loving it and some hating it. It never seems to get a general "yeah, it's pretty good" vibe.

May god have mercy on your souls if this game sucks the big one! ;)

That's because it really is. The thing that excites me the most is that they can still get better and I see only upside from here on out and should make for an easier transition to next-gen consoles. 8.5 for me also.
