Who is getting it?

I am picking mine up tomorrow morning from Best Buy, but my Xbox 360 GT is Maverick91579 if anyone wants to pound me.

I didn't play last year, and have been getting crushed by the computer on all madden.

Ill use the Browns.

Okay, so I finally played a full game, and it was pretty fun. Won a thriller in the final moments. But so much about this game is irritating as hell.

The commentary is awful. There's barely any of it, and the shit they do say is vague, pointless, and boring.

The presentation is stuttery and awkward. The camera lingers on nothing before slowly cutting to another equally useless angle.

There's apparently ZERO logic involved in picking the "play of the game." My play of the game was the Jaguars scoring a TD in the second quarter. Of a game I won. By scoring a touchdown with 4 seconds left on the clock. Stupid. As. ****.

UGH

Man the Chargers are garbage in this game.

73 Rating. I don't think they've been this low since maybe Madden 2002?

Thig Lyfe · 08-29-2013, 08:22 PM

Alright, they made the play of the game the winning Jamaal Charles TD run this time. Thrilling couple of games. I really had to fight to win them.

I've thrown three pick-sixes in two games, the blame for which I place SQUARELY on Alex Smith.

TambaBerry · 08-29-2013, 08:46 PM

THIS ****ING GAME IS THE WORST ****ING GAME EVER. MOTHER ****ER ITS SO GOD DAMN OBNOXIOUS. Try to do an onside kick or a squib kick guaranteed they catch the ****ing ball on the run. Madden and EA sports you guys ****ing blow dicks at making a game.

Thig Lyfe · 08-29-2013, 09:40 PM

Okay. Got ****ed by the Eagles, 35-28. Could not stop LeSean McCoy worth shit. Vick kept throwing bombs for TDs. And Alex Smith threw another ****ton of interceptions. 10 interceptions in the first three games. (ALL HIS FAULT, BY THE WAY)

(Seriously though, every single bad pass gets picked off. I know bad passes get intercepted, but it's kind of ridiculous. Like, if the receiver's not completely and utterly all alone, it usually gets picked off by a DB or LB that should apparently be playing WR. Sick of it, brahs.)

KCrockaholic · 08-29-2013, 10:54 PM

lol If you just throw shorter routes you'll be fine with the interceptions thing. I've thrown 1 in 4 games now.

Did you try the sliders?

I know its a numbers game, and the offense will ALWAYS have the advantage with the zone read unless you play helmet on helmet but damn the defense is dumb this year.

As far as the passing game is concerned, have you tried using combo Man+FZ plays (overloads would probably work best)?

You'll have to manually change the corners and probably a safety (unless playing 1 high isn't your thing). Just something to play around with that's another "real football concept".

Now you understand the cost of firing Norv Turner

chiefs1111 · 08-30-2013, 01:10 AM

So how is the owner mode? Any good?

Mother****erJones · 08-30-2013, 06:55 AM

I know it's minor but why are there no player tattoos?

AussieChiefsFan · 08-30-2013, 07:32 AM

After playing a few games in owner mode; The graphics are pretty much identical to Madden 13, which was to be expected. The gameplay is a little better, although not too much smoother. There's more stuff like tackle animations which is never a bad thing. I'm looking forward to seeing what next gen looks like though.

Yes. I hope it's much better.

It won't be. With so many launch titles coming out for both generations it'll just be a game that looks slightly better on a better rig.
