The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
I've heard that Madden 14 will be released for XBOX 720 / PS4 when those systems come out later this year. Do you guys think it's gonna be built on an entirely new engine? Or just a continuation from Madden 13?
I REALLY hope they start fresh on the new generation systems.
On the PS2/Xbox, the Madden series was finally getting good and they had loads of features.
Then they release a stripped down, "graphically pretty" Madden 06 on the 360 and it sucked. It took until now to finally get some of the features back up to speed. Starting over again would suck.
The last generation of Madden still has more/better features than '13. It really is sad.
They've already stated they are not starting over. They learned their lesson. Now whether that is a good or bad thing, well we'll see. I just hope the opportunity arises for someone else to be able to make an NFL game. Wishful thinking at this point, but we'll see with that as well.
I'll be hoping to see IE get configured. Would be nice for the players to actually play like they have bones and muscles and injuries implemented on that. Would also love to see more realistic movement. Changing directions shouldn't be so quick and they should plant their feet. The juke animation is horrible and needs to be fixed. With stiff arm, you should be able to hold onto the defenders jersey or helmet for as long as you hold the stiff arm button. The zone coverage needs to be fixed. They should only let a reciever go out once they leave their zone if another defender picks him up. I'm tired of seeing Safeties let them go on streaks and LBs letting them go on drags and outs.
I don't expect much from features. Just fix the CCM bugs and make the CPU logic on managing players better. A little color and shader adjustments to the graphics and I'd be happy. It looks cartoonish to me compare to '12.
I am so desperate for a NFL game I can enjoy, that I actually hope M14 is on new consoles. If so, I will move mountains to get a new gaming console, like I did with Dreamcast and Xbox 360, just to play a hopefully different type football game.

They started over but with basically the same coding as ps2's games when it came to blocking, etc.
EA needs to start over, this code is old, tired, boring, and unrealistic now. In 8 years, they were never able to capture the magic they had when they used it on ps2. Why should we accept this for the only NFL game in town on the newest most powerful consoles yet?
Let's not kid ourselves. As long as this development team is making the only NFL football game, it will continue to be crap. It's been crap for 8 years. There is nothing that is going to suddenly change things. The only hope would be for someone else to be able to make a game again. Madden is always going to be "Madden" as opposed to realistic football.
If they were to release Madden 14 On the NEW consoles would that mean they would have more time to work on it since their not suppose to be released until Early/Late December
I think EA would release Madden 14 on PS3/Xbox 306, then re-release it on the next gen consoles when they come out. This way, people that buy the PS3 version may also buy the PS4 version when the console comes out.
