Re: Madden NFL 13 Sales Are Off to a Hot Start

I will never get the hype about this game. "Madden" was a way better game before the next-gen consoles were released. EA have just never been trying to get the max out of this hardware. Madden + Xbox/PS3 = A step back...

Yes, PS2 madden ... they even had tattos... I mean you could edit , track your stats, change any equipment... The Tony Bruno show, Newspaper, the Sim style of franchise was taken out and replace with a huge BETA test server only connected version of MADDEN... EA Good job. Good Effort. This kinda reaminds me of Final Fantasy online only which was a disater cause it did not sale... since it had online only..Socom did the same mistake at one point never got it right again... I hope EA gets it right , but honestly i say this every year... there all a big hype machine... that one day will crumble.. and i will be around to smile and make sure to point out the lack of effort put into this game was just sad, makes me want to move out of Florida since this is where i live & the game is produce in the state they let me down....

( "665,464 total social interactions on Facebook and Twitter combined, and the game has been mentioned on average every six seconds on Twitter.") I think this is mainly people complaining about the removal of Franchise and Fantasy Draft. They list that like it's a positive thing, gotta love EA.

i dunno what your thinking, i been playing madden since the 90s, and been one of the first to diss ea sports, especially madden, but this game is awesome... connected careers is better than franchise ever was, even the ones that you could make your own stadium in, and the online is actually fun again

Initial sales have always jump in Madden since 2010, so this is nothing new. The real story will be around Christmas. The initial sales have jumped then fallen around the holidays, and the past 3 years global sales have declined. NCAA is a prime example of this.

dude fifa is the most popular sports game in the world for a reason, cause its futbol haha, madden is a niche sport we enjoy in america

EA deserve this for all the hard work. Its a simple circle: put in more effort => happy gamers => more profit

hopefully they realize/remember the key to success, propaganda doesn't go over on gamers, good games do

I wish there was a way to compare the sales versus the returns. This game is being returned just as fast as it's being purchased.

EA, lie, lie. I would say who is the idiot who left out last years franchise and made connect careers? However, they probably wanted to force us into twitter or unline crap.

At least give us a downloadable franchise mode like Madden 12. I would even pay to get Madden 13 this feature.

I think EA has moved in the right direction with connected careers , a easily doable patch and this game mode is the best in football history.

Easily doable but will it be done and done correctly is the real question. OS will self implode if it's not.

This I the first year in a long time that I can absolutely say this is great news to hear. This team deserves to be rewarded for their efforts. Madden 13 is not only the best Madden I've played, but the best NFL game I've played as well.

If they can put in this kind of effort again next year, the results should be fantastic.

The big issue I'm having in regards to gameplay is this games is so scripted. it's a little troubling to see what the AI is willing to do to dictate the outcome. I wish EA could get the AI good enough it no longer needs to cheat(and I mean go beyong the laws of physics to do it) to be competitive

Try sliders and the game won't be so scripted. I'm having unpredictable games in my online CCM

Each game is different, which makes it feel more organic.

How do you return a game? Once its opened it can't go back. Unless you mean people trading it in. In which case EA already got their money anyway.

Doesn't Gamestop (assuming that's where he got it from) still have the 7 day return policy? You get all the money back as long as you have the receipt.

Yep, EA already got it's money but he could potentially get his back.
