Madden NFL 13 Video - Live Draft in Connected Careers Mode

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Live Draft in Connected Careers Mode

I only wish that they could have implemented a draft interface that was identical to Head Coach 09. Is there a better draft in the history of sports video games?

It would also be nice if they also had scouting for the Senior Bowl, Combine, Pro Days and Individual Workouts.

These would be great! I would love to be able to run practice the week of the senior bowl in order to evaluate players. Seeing the combine or even participating in it would be cool too.

This is great!...Another thing to get excited about CC. Scouting and Draft prep will be all more interesting this year. I feel like this is the first year, where I will actually play preseason, practice, and scout, and feel that they all will provide some sort of reward. Great Job EA!

I agree folks have been asking for this for years. I would love the opportunity to actually get to use the incoming rookies before the draft.

Oh by all means, say what you want, I could really care less, just know that I'm always gonna call someone out. That's what I do when someone criticizes something I'm starting to like. And anyway, I'll say it again, just because it happened a decade ago doesn't mean it can't happen again. A QB threw for 5000 yards ONCE in 20+ years, but in ONE year three people already surpassed it (two of them were extremely close). Now had this happen in a game, you'd be complaining "But blah blah blah not that many QBs would ever throw for 5000 yards in one year blah blah blah" that's how it is, the NFL is always changing.

I will say this again, if you want "realism" then play Madden 12 (if you can deal with those terrible imports and Chris Collinsworth) if you want a good draft class that's immersive then play Madden 13. OR you can go way back and play Madden 07 (the best Madden before 13 came out). Either way, beating a dead horse won't solve anything.

Beating a dead horse doesn't solve anything and neither does blind support for EA sports.

Perhaps we feel uncomfortable because that is what we have been culturally trained to accept. I am inclined, then, to believe that if it makes me feel weird, it is my own problem, and not some arbitrary video game.

It' doesn't "make me feel weird" because of some deep and longstanding cultural training. It makes me feel weird because its inaccurate from a game that claims as implied by their official slogan to be accurate.

What exactly is happening at the beginning of that video, with the grades being revealed? Is that the new scouting feature? How does that work?

In HC09, you just picked the players to scout instead of seeing any action. That would be AMAZING to see them in action though.

Yea he just said u can scout those events which means they probably com up in the off season calendar. I guess its cheaper to make Menu's then to actually let you interact during scouting.

Dont understand why the emphasis on screen after screen of user interface in dynasty with zero immersion factor.

I'm not blindly supporting EA, if I were I'd be saying "OMG this is the greatest thing since slice bread!". I know it's got it's faults and I know it's far from perfect, but I also know it's a video game as well. You see we're two different people, I don't expect a game to reflect real life all that much because....well it's not real life. NBA 2k hardly reflects real life after the first season, same goes for MLB the Show, unless you're gonna spend ridiculous amounts of time trying to reflect real life (which is stupid to me, but everyone's got their kink I guess). I'm not gonna be spending my entire free time playing this game, I've got more important things to do than that. All I want is a decent game that will get me through the week until Sunday (when I can watch real football all day), I'm not asking for the world. Madden 12 was NOT a decent game, it was absolutely terrible, and it couldn't get me through the week. It's that hard to please me, and this year EA has done that for the first time since Madden 08 on original Xbox.

Obviously you aren't pleased, and that's your problem.
