Madden 2013

[Sorter]

Due to the Madden 12 thread, I'd thought i'd post what the news is about this years edition.

-There will be no more picks from defenders looking over the shoulder or having the ball come over head. Defense must face the ball.
- Super jump abilities for LBs/DBs has been taken away
-Receiver icons will light up for pass plays when they would expect the ball on certain routes. Doesn't mean they're open, but when they would expect the ball coming out of breaks.
-There are new accuracy tweaks. They want you to throw into windows instead of waiting for the receiver gets open (almost impossible on 12)
- New throwing motions, and specific drop backs for all qbs (3,5,7 step drops)
-QBs do PA faster so you don't get raped by defenses constantly.

All I've heard so far really, but it seems that this game should play better. However, that is what is said every year. Until Madden gets a true competitor imo (2ksports) they will continue to put out a shitty product.

I was replying to the statement that it is the same exact game as last year. I should know as I have been playing last year's game up until this week. Madden 2013 IS NOT the same game. I can see a lot of changes and improvements. Sure, it's not perfect and not everyone will like it. I'm enjoying it myself.

Hell I'm enjoying myself playing 2012 right now.

Do they keep the rosters updated for 2012? I just downloaded the "latest" version... and still have a bunch of shit players. Thomas Jones, Barry Richardson etc...

No. Rosters are up to date as of the last week of last season.

That's why new Maddens are called glorified roster updates.

I don't know what everyone is expecting. Flying QBs? WRs with machine guns? It's a football game. Of course it's gonna stay the same every year with a few added tweaks and modifications. It's not perfect. It's a video game. But it's not COD or Battlefield. It's not going to change much, if at all, through the years. It's supposed to be a realistic, or as close to it, NFL football game. That's why the only constant change is the roster. Love you.

Wtf? Have you even played this game? If you're on XBL, it will ask you to update rosters. I have Winston, and Hillis, Rout, etc.

NM on my last post. Didn't catch that he was asking about last year's game.

I don't have a problem with Madden... I like the games. NCAA on the other hand...

yea madden 13 is not the same, its better in my opinion. Played 3 games yesterday. Beat the Falcons 48-7 i believe, Broncos 37-30, and the Chargers 55-7. I like it way better than last years game.

Very logical post... I agree , and the physics engine and the updated presentation make this version the best in a while... I haven't been this hooked on a football game since 2k5

Onside kicks are so cheap. Was up 24-7 with 2 mins left to go. CPU scores to make it 24-14. Onside kick. Line drive right off one of my players legs and they recover. They score on some bullshit hailmary to make it 24-21. Onside kick again. Same shit... Line drive off one of my players legs and right into their lap. Awesome!

the thing is, they don't make an attempt to make the game better every year! The same problems are there every single year, they don't work on anything with game mechanics to make it a better sim. Plus they take away little features that you like, like being able to pick who plays for each play, stuff like that. Why remove that?
