    Madden worth it?

    I'll be honest I haven't purchased or played Madden since Shaun Alexander graced the cover, never really liked the way it played on 360. DJM but I've always preferred NCAA football better.

    So I say all that to say this, is Madden 13 worth purchasing or should I skip another year?


    Thanks

    I was ready to rush out and get it today but reading all these issues, Im waiting for a patch, and Im sure that will only fix half the issues...Guess Ill keep playing NBA 2K12 and NCAA 2013....Was gonna trade in Gears of War 3 towards this too...

          Loaded question, and you will get tons of different answers. Here is my 2 cents:

          CCM is bugged, i mean its like a roach infestation. Here is what i gathered so far:

          -Depth Chart issues EX: the cpu will switch the LT and RT simply because the LT is higher ovr and vise versa.

          - You cant save your scheme changes in the Coach side of CCM

          - Duplicate jersey numbers can happen when you trade someone to your team that already has a dedicated number.

          - CPU will run A LOT. I stopped playing after 5 games as this became annoying. They would run 6-7 times in a row.

          -SIM stats are terrible. If you have 15 minute quarters i have seen a RB run for over 500 yards in a single game.

          Those are just a few issues with CCM and those are what have caused me to neglect getting it till a patch comes out. Keep in mind if you have access to the internet, online CCM i read has a few of these issues already fixed.

          If you prefer just "play now" then you are golden, the game feels great and provides me with a great challange. I however am a "franchise" guy and dont really have a dedicated internet connection as i use my phone as a wifi adapter. I simply cant keep my phone screen on for 6-7 hours

            Quick answer. If you play online or just play now- yes
            If you play offline- no

                Online CCM fixes problems found in offline CCM. Crazy thing is you don't even have to play with randoms in online CCM. Just make you league to private. Tada!

                  Its good if you're playing against another human.. outside of that its crap in my opinion.. Franchise is whack and buggy, playing against the computer sucks because all they do is run....

                  I tried playing online a few times EA servers aren't always the best so good luck with that...

                  The gameplay is the best when playing head to head. The idea of CCM has potential and could have been great but its all screwed up... If you mainly play head to head against (A HUMAN) then its a good purchase..

                  If you're into franchise and fantasy and all then AVOID THIS GAME AT ALL COST!!!

                  I love NCAA though so ill trade Madden in for CoD....

                      It has it's downfalls, but overall YES, it's worth the purchase, and I am a full time questioner of EA's motives. This game comes correct for a football fix for your 2012 season. Go into it not expecting much, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
