    The Pass Trajectories are good, but they won't make up for the Passive Receivers, and the sliding/flying Safeties/Corners/LB's who can make more unrealistic plays pending on the defense.

    The Commentary has no emotion.

    In fact, I've also seen vids with suction tackling. Sure that will be tuned, hopefully) but the post play and cutscenes look bad.
    Receivers goes for the ball.... They already showed you in the RTP video that clipping is gone and dbs not longer go through the receivers for the ball (look it up), as a matter of the fact the closest we have seen to that is a Db getting his arm between the wr's arm and ripping the ball out in mid air just like they do irl.... Dbs now go after the ball rather than just watch the receiver catch it. THHESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.

    Do I need to go further? I'm not trying to change your view, just providing facts. Dislike the game all you want from what you have seen thus far by all means... ITS YOUR RIGHT, NO HARM NO FOUL.. But that doesn't mean YOU are right in your assumptions/theories. I don't expect people to take my word for those, they will see it when they play the game. Either way, all of those have already been discussed.

      To answer the OP, yes. I am concerned that CC will be broken in significant ways (even if CC turns out to be great, the initial implementation WILL have problems) and that I will not be able to change parts of it.

      Any problems with progression, ratings, rookies, etc. and we're hooped.

          Nope. Like I said when it was first announced, it's like my Fifa 12 Career Mode on steroids. So it will be a familiar experience. I never really used any of the "lost" features, and was in the "bring Head Coach into Madden" camp.

          As a side observation, it seems that Madden, Fifa and NHL have the same template with variations based on the specific sport. I have a feeling this is the standard template going forward and will end up being implemented in NBA Live (if it survives) and NCAA. I have an inkling this is based on the online architecture. Even though I'm not a big online guy, I am kind of impressed with the flexibility and headroom this possibly offers. I can be a Superstar player against a whole team? I think that's kind of neat. While I, like many other offline heads, am kind of feeling this might have some huge holes in it's initial offering, I am very intrigued as to what the future holds for this mode. I love my Fifa CM; C.C. already has more depth than it in it's first year....
          Note to Tiburon Marketing:

          A great product sells itself, no "back of the box" features required! (See Fifa...)

            but guys... Skip Bayless will tweet about his love for Tebow. Isn't that more important? Having the most annoying person on tv invade your video game to tweet about Tebow.

              No. They haven't taken away any features that I use. I'm more interested in stuff like the Twitter feed. I like my sports franchise modes to feel alive. Editing players and playing other teams' games doesn't do that for me.
              My score for Madden 13: 4.5/10

              3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.

                This is fundamental to any "multi-player" gaming, i don't care if its xbox, nintendo or jenga....games were built to be played together. I'm all for people making online friends...but dont kill any ability to play with a real live human sitting by your side...nobody start on "play now games" or having two tvs xboxes, XBL etc because that's just silly.

                Heaven forbid we want to play madden with family.

                  More time is gonna be spent adding in stuff we already had for future installments delaying what new features we could already be having by now. Thats my biggest pet peeve. Im still waiting until me and my friends are able to control the same team...r heck a spectator mode r something.

                    I think that most of us can agree that including Skip Bayless in any form, is subtraction by addition.

                    Answering the question, yes, the complete lack of player control over CC has changed me from a first day purchase based on the amazing gameplay upgrades, and the better presentation, to waiting for Madden 14. I don't want to use EA's rosters in my franchise, and I don't really play the game much outside of it other than to play some friends head to head.(I never play sports games online)

                    If they would give the ability to edit things and control all the teams(call it GM/Commish mode or something), even if they had to switch it off for online by default, that would bring back a large amount of good will.

                      Cooled me down a bunch. The lack of draft classes is still the worse for me.

                        It's a downer, but still can't wait to play it though to see what it offers.

                            Nope, I like the direction it is going and people need to stop freaking out being that it's only year one of this completely new format.

                              So you never change a players position? What do you do when you have 2 LLB that are better than your RLB? Just play them in the wrong spot in your depth chart? That hurts their ratings in previous maddens.

                                I want the game, but I don't want EA shafting us time and again. I am amazed that the same people that used to fight on other boards as well as here defending the game to no end, are now crossing over to the "team consumer" side.

                                I love the NFL, but I don't really trust this company 100% to represent it anymore. I will get the game used, and clearly wait for reviews now instead of a release day letdown.
