E3: Third Batch of Madden NFL 13 Videos

The least they could do with the intros is have the teams best players showing

http://www.facebook.com/people/Joshua-Maffe/771278573 Joshua Maffe

I agree with the lions intro it showed Jahvid Best and Matthew Stafford, I think it should show two of their best playmakers. Like Megatron and Suh, or something like that, not just the RB and QB but its at least a step in the right direction.

I want in on the lawsuit Romeo Crennell will heap upon EA for his likeness….yikes!

keep getting “video is private” when I try to watch some of them

SoulFooder

Pasta I know you’re a Seahawks fan, but wouldn’t it be beneficial to show as many teams as possible

Redskins Colts Vids are private.

Dan

why are the colts videos private pasta??

Is it true you can no longer do two player offline franchise (connected career)?

CarterAndtrevan

Yep u can only play one team. No NCAA import. And no editing inside there new crappy franchise mode. I’m so sick of madden. Not only do they not Improve shit they take basic features out. I mean fuck! All they got to do is look at the nba 2k series or the show but no they are truly straight idiots over at madden. And that’s real talk
- Corey Brock
  
  Um….why do you need two player offline franchise when you have online franchise mode?? You don’t have the internet?

Got to love the cookie cutter presentation highlighting the players. The format goes: Player with arms folded, then toss the football around, flex, point football towards the camera.

No matter what team, same format. They need some dynamic to this. Some variety. Why couldn’t they scratch this and picked up the idea for NFL 2k5 by showing highlights of the weeks, or a true halftime special highlighting plays and players?

This whole presentation idea that they were raving about earlier was half assed. Nobody at the Tiburon meeting were thinking outside the box when they were trying to brainstorm for Presentation ideas. NOBODY

RAIDERS !!!!

As I said previously to Jpdavis1982 and Eagleeyedesigns, the infinity engine announcement was pure marketing genius. This game still looks almost identical to Madden 12. Whatever the infinity engine brought to the table, it still animates about the same. I sure hope at least that the game sound compensates for the so called big hits, because I’m still not seeing the “wow” factor in these videos. I’m seeing a lot more cut scenes, and angles, but I’m still not “wowed” by the game’s dated graphics engine. I preordered from ToysRus just the same, because its the best, cheapest deal going right now, but I can almost see myself trading this bitch in already. The game sound had better be damn good on this one cause there ain’t no big hits in this game as far as I can see in these videos. Even the sacks look lame, kinda like they just lay the QB down and tuck him in for bed. Whatever happened to the “hit stick” feature? Did the NFL complain about that too? This shit looks more like it plays more like a pillow fight than NFL football.

Infinity engine my ass. Where the hell are those two carnival barkers, Jpdavis1982 and Eagleeyedesigns? All that hype and I ain’t seen a damn thing to get too excited about. The long wait till August will be easy if they don’t start showing us more than this. I’m not impressed at all at this point.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_FQ5KIKLT5FZW5PRA4YMP6WSSFY John O

no doubt! I’m thinking either EA hired people to post pro-Madden stuff or are just full fledged fanboys. It’s either or from here.

The average person who plays Madden will notice just the things you have noticed. There is absolutely no dynamic to this new engine. It’s like the same Madden with a little rag doll type effects which should have been in the introductory Madden 06!

It took them 7 years to get to this point while games like Fifa, Fight Night, GTA have been doing this for years.

I don’t think it’s EA. I think it has more to do with the subcontracted company in Tiburon. Tiburon just flat out sucks ass in game development. Just look at all the games besides Madden that they have developed. All have been less than desirable if not disasters. Coincidentally, they are in the heart of where Full Sail College is at.

  john o dont fool your self . do you they didnt want toanswer my questions.on why the really got rid of franchise mode.ill tell you why. there cheap fools. you see ian cummings wanted the same stuff in franchise mode. and josh looman was the one fought against it. so the fired him and phil frazier. so they quit before maddden 13 was ready to start. and ea and tiburon wanted to get the fans back . just as crimson said this was all marketing thinking. watch next yr when the new systems comes out . i heard there bring this back next yr.this game was test product to see if we buy into it. if we dont lineup the first day then they will lose money.and change it.
Eagleyedesigns

It’s called WORK, motherfucker…That’s where I’ve been…I dont’ sit in fornt of PC all day like you and stroke my cock to Madden videos…Fair argument though…We really won’t know until we play it, if there is difference or not.
- Crimson
  
  “We really won’t know until we play it, if there is difference or not. ”
  
  HEY BIG MOUTH, I’VE BEEN STROKING MY COCK, SITTING IN FRONT OF MY PC, WATCHING THESE STUPID VIDEOS ALL DAY…OF “OTHER PEOPLE” PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME!
  
  WE REALLY DON’T NEED TO PLAY IT TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO GODDAMN DIFFERENCE. WHAT ARE YOU…STUPID OR JUST PLAIN IGNORANT?
  - Eagleyedesigns
    
    You’ll buy it like everyone else, slimdick…I don’t know about you but when I have COMPLETELY NO INTEREST in a product or advocate anything for it or with it, I don’t spend time watching the product or reading about it or even talking about it, I would believe that is how eveyone bases a purchase…Who’s stupid and igorant now, chump?
    - Crimson
      
      I have already clearly stated that I was preordering it at ToysRus for $45.
      
      AND…I stated that if it isn’t everything that YOU say it is, I will be trading it in on Glyde after the first week.
      
      AND…I clearly stated that, as of right now, its starting to sound like its not what you say it is.
      
      AND…I clearly stated that you might possibly be a fucking idiot.
    - Eagleyedesigns
      
      Who gives a fuck what I say it is? I didn’t make the motherfucking thing! So, I guess if Eagleyedesigns said this is going to be a great game, you should go buy it and if it isn’t go trade it in? What the fuck world are you in? I guess I get your vote for President…Well, I’m gonna go jump off a bridge now..Co’mon Crimson, let’s go…Fucking limpdick faggot…
    - Crimson
      
      LOL, you’re so damn stupid, I truly feel sorry for you.
    - Eagleyedesigns
      
      I’m not the one who reserves games I know that I’ll hate just to piss away money…NOW THAT IS STUPID! Hope you like your copy of Madden 13 from Toys ‘R Us.

Crimson

Its all the same bullshit from previous Maddens this gen. They will
probably show only about 2 different variations of this shit before
every franchise game. They can’t even fake it. Same old shit as ever from EA. Where is the fucking “wow”?

There is no fucking “wow”. We will all be saying to ourselves, “wow”,
these fuckers suckered me into buying this crap again. Thats where the
“wow’ factor will come into play.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Curtis-Leon-Douglas/100000586305337 Curtis Leon Douglas

man you are so right. im telling all my homies not to buy this crap. lets force them to change every thing back.
- Crimson
  
  They have always released a stripped down demo in the past. I’m not expecting a whole lot from that. But I will definitely trade this sucker in after a week to http://www.Glyde.com if they don’t come correct, just like I did with Madden 12. I’ll give it one week to impress me and if it doesn’t, then I’ll be looking to get my 45 bucks back.
  - Eagleyedesigns
    
    What horrible economic decisions this guy makes. I’m sure you’ll do the same to piss more money away when you trade in your copy of Madden 13 that you reserved at Toys ‘R Us.
Eagleyedesigns

The “Wow” you are looking for is when you dropped $5 on your reserved copy at Toys ‘R Us.

Smh. The replays are such a mess. You can’t even see a play develop with this junk. I wish I could go down to Tiburon and just surprise them out of nowhere by dumping buckets of freezing ice cold water on their heads when they’re in the concept meetings deciding to do this kind of garbage.

I mean, how can you ruin something as basic as a replay camera? “Authentic broadcast presentation” my ass.

Show some other intros!!

Yo

man flop city 13 looks awesome i love how a lineman just falls flat on his back when he gets tapped…SO AUTHENTIC! smh madden freakin has gone down the tubes and all the fanboys can suck it because guess what i am not gonna piss away 60 bucks on this garbage, and i will troll this board till there is no tommorow because madden simply has a flock that is clearly blind.

Yo

at 2:10 in the first video in a real game gonzalez wouldve been hit so hard he wouldve dropped it, that or since he had the ball way out the db wouldve popped it out or take it from him

Yo

first vid at 2:30 number 34 just pops right up with out using his hands

Clintbeastwoods

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToaFzMWudfM&feature=related If EA does not fix this there is no reason to play madden 13 online. If you are using real money for maden ultimate team I really feel sorry for you because people can cheat you out wins anytime they want using one of the 6 known disconnect glitches that ea refuses to patch or fix!

Yo

around 3:25 luck gets smacked hard and throws a perfect spiral….that ball shouldve wobbled

NinoMarley

I’m stuck on no importing draft classes!!

CJ

Me too, but I’m even more stuck on not being able to edit players. Not even equipment and numbers! Still torn on cancelling my pre-order or not.

Yo

first play of the third video number 50 for the colts FLOPPED SO HARD!

Yo

third vid of colts game the sack on rg3 around 1:23 both colts wouldve been on him not one make the tackle and the other slide off will still holding the tackle animation as he flops to the ground

Yo

at the end of the third vid of thecolts game no way helu jr gets out of that guarantee the dlinemen wouldve wrapped him up and have the calvary come to clean the play up

Yeah, if it was REAL LIFE, douchebag…Fuckin’ loser.

    Dude, why don’t get off my stick and quit hunting down my responses so you could add your two cents to everything I say…You are such a fucking moron and If I knew who you were and had seen you on the street I would beat the living shit out of you and rip off your head from your neck and put it on your Mothers’ nightstand with a “Thank you” note…
    - Crimson
      
      What a fucking coward. That’s exactly the kind of stupid shit people like you say on the internet while playing dungeons and dragons at the local comic book store. You’re living an internet lie son. You’re not a tough guy. You’re screaming out for help. Its in everything stupid thing you say. You really need the attention don’t you? I wish I could give you a big hug right now, you poor, neglected little boy.
    - Eagleyedesigns
      
      Maybe you can do just that while we wait in line together to pick up our reserved copies of Madden 13 at Toys ‘R Us.

Yo

so many errors with this engine it makes the game out of whack, but then again goodell probably doesnt want this game to show hard hits, and show players fall softly and get hugged

pasta how can you convince consumers like us to buy a shotty game?

pasta in connect careers can you play any teams on pre-season and regular season schedules or do you have to wait untill cpu play the other games first . because in ncca12 you can all of the schedule even if thier not in your confernce. can you answer that. pasta i would apprecated it . thanks pasta for your posts.

The intros feels already overused and stale and this is just from watching the very first batch of gameplay.

How about they scrap out the intros altogether?

it looks better then last yrs game for sure

Shehawks

Pasta some good footage. I’m sure u r dogass tired but a lot of questions need to be answered.

What does halftime look like? Didn’t see it in any clips.
Create a team…still exist? Any modifications?
As a coach in CC, can I still go play in any game on the schedule even if it’s not my team? Ex:Super Bowl.
In coach mode of CC can we still have created players? Can we still modify any player like last year?
After 7 years as a coach , I decide to be a player…can I still pick a legend like Barry sanders. After 4 years with him, I want to be Montana. Can I do that?
And what is your favorite pasta dish?

http://www.facebook.com/LafayetteAzevedo Lafayette Azevedo

Are you deleting post now? I posted about this game and it was deleted, what the… okay, I was at E3 and I can tell you that this game is more of the same, nothing new to it.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Iown-You/100000775565221 Iown You

Yeah, the videos prove that pretty well, too. Madden is like Tony Romo; big numbers, lots of flash, but can’t do it when it counts.
Jpdavis1982

Nothing new to it? Um physics engine, Connected Careers, new commentators, new passing game, new best on best man align, new nfl films audio, I’d like you to tell me what is the same because there is a whole lot more NEW to this game than there is old.
- http://www.facebook.com/LafayetteAzevedo Lafayette Azevedo
  
  I played it for 30 minutes @ E3 and I can tell you that it’s the same game. When you play it there is nothing that you’ll notice that’ll make you go, OMG, its the same crap with some new bells and whistles.
Jpdavis1982

You have to be a hater to say there is nothing new to Madden 13, there is no way around that. You can say you don’t like it or that such and such game is better but to say there is nothing new to it is completely ignorant and ridiculous. Anyone who can’t see that this Madden is new and different has some serious denial issues.
- Crimson
  
  To Jpdavis1982, you keep saying this game is “new and different”.
  
  At this point, from what they have shown the public, there is nothing new, outside of the new camera angles and those new repeatable game intros of the QB slapping everybody on the ass. What NFL QB does that shit before a game? The cutscenes are already tired and the damn game ain’t even out yet.
  
  We still haven’t heard the new NFL films audio, why are they keeping that under wraps?
  
  The physics engine is bullshit, they just removed the invisible wall that was in the previous games.
  
  New commentators? Umm, whoopdie fucking doo?
  
  They aren’t even trying to give us the true hard sell on this game…which should signal a red flag. They’re either bluffing or they’re gonna be patching the shit out of it again.

I pray that they’re planning on adding variations of that intro because it’s already become corny, IMO. If not, I’m most likely gonna be buttoning through or I’m gonna go take a leak while it’s going. It’s cool at first but after a while it’s like the running joke that you can’t escape.

Bobo

How can EA not see that? Yes, they NEED a few variations of that opening sequence. It seriously can’t be that hard to program in 5-6 more poses and randomize them. Also, would be good to see some DEFENSIVE players in that opening montage. Umeniyora or clay matthews flexing muscle is more realistic than having MJD doing it.
- Crimson
  
  Its just them being lazy……again. They NEVER dream big enough.

    Again…You have a reserved copy at Toys ‘R Us, why?

Nick

Hey Pasta, did you get any videos of Connected Careers?

Crimson

And yet and still we, don’t know a damn thing about what happens at halftime.
I can imagine this stuff will still trickle out from marketing, but
they had their chance at E3 to blow people away, and they clearly passed
on it with that smoke screen presentation with Michael Irvin. I mean, they had the audience at E3 to show us the best damn Madden ever, and they just punted the damn ball.

Nick

There is a video out there with a bit of the half time show. I think it was in a game between the Panthers and the Dolphins

  It’s at the end of this video:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lv7tZq7-Ro&feature=player_embedded
  - Crimson
    
    That looks just like what they did in Madden 12. Not a real studio halftime show, but a barebones game recap, showing the player intros all over again and the scoreboard.
    
    THAT’S JUST FUCKING LAZY.
    - Jpdavis1982
      
      No one ever said they would have a studio halftime show, that montage is a pretty big improvement over the one in Madden 12 and there is another montage in the post game with highlights and stuff. The halftime montages will have highlights too, everyone just wants to make assumptions based on the past well you can forget the past. Cam Weber and company are not messing around and it’s only going up from here. Next year they will be working on things like improving upon the Infinity engine specifically when it comes to overall player movement, o and d line interaction and probably adding a studio halftime show. Madden 13 is just the foundation these guys are just getting started.
    - Nick
      
      With what they have done with the infinity engine and connected careers, I can definitely live without a halftime show.
    - Crimson
      
      Why did they ever drop that half assed “The Extra Point”?
      
      Why didn’t they just build on that? It had promise. It could have been a realistic enough studio simulation. What they’re doing now is basically cutting corners.
      
      THEY SIMPLY DON’T DREAM BIG ENOUGH OVER AT EA SPORTS.

      =No one ever said they would have a studio halftime show,=
      
      No one ever said there WASN’T going to be one either. It was easy to assume there would be after they scrapped it in Madden 11 and 12. Lo and behold, they did nothing. And that brings me to the next point…
      
      =that montage is a pretty big improvement over the one in Madden 12=
      
      This is why people ridicule you, Jpdavis. When you make ridiculous claims that video evidence shows us to be false, you lose more credibility. Because they show a few MORE cutscenes than last year’s halftime is not an improvement; it’s just an increase of the garbage they did from 12. It’s like someone punching you in the face 3 times one day, and then coming back and punching you in the face 6 times the next day.
      
      =and there is another montage in the post game with highlights and stuff.=
      
      Fine, but we’re not talking about postgame, this is about halftime. And postgame will still be a half done effort, too.
      
      =The halftime montages will have highlights too, everyone just wants to make assumptions based on the past well you can forget the past.=
      
      This again is why you get ridiculed so much. Look dude, we saw the videos of halftime. We can’t UNsee them. There were no highlights, just cutscenes. The past has nothing to do with anything. We’re judging this on what we just saw at E3, and what we saw was yet ANOTHER season of a pathetic effort at a halftime show. When we see video of a halftime show done right, then we’ll talk. Until then, stop trying to convince us we’re all crazy when we seen the video evidence for ourselves.
    - Jpdavis1982
      
      So you really expected them to have a full studio halftime show on top of everything else they have done? The new physics engine would have been enough for a lot of people, then they go and give us possibly the deepest career mode in the history of sports games? I GUARANTEE you there will be highlights in the halftime montage. They’ve already said that there will be so you’re wrong there. Also the build at E3 was the alpha build so it’s far from a finished product and it’s already looking like it will be one of the best football games ever made. With Cam Weber and this new development team you will never see this game going anywhere but forward. I would be willing to be that next year you will see drastically improved player movement, improved o-line and d-line interaction,footplanting and improvement of the Infinity Engine in all areas, as well as a studio halftime or weekly show in connected careers.

      =So you really expected them to have a full studio halftime show on top of everything else they have done?=Are you serious? They’ve been developing this generation of Madden… FOR OVER 8 SEASONS!!! You’re DAMN right I expected that and MORE. But I should’ve known better, considering that this is the dev team that always promises more and delivers less.=The new physics engine would have been enough for a lot of people,=Brain dead people who don’t realize that real-time physics fixes practically nothing and mostly just means prettier tackles. But even that isn’t much to brag about considering how stiff the Madden models are. RTP doesn’t even trigger on every tackle with Infinity, so its implementation is inferior to Euphoria’s.=then they go and give us possibly the deepest career mode in the history of sports games?=Hype. And I don’t give a crap about modes when the game on the field is a mess.=I GUARANTEE you there will be highlights in the halftime montage. They’ve already said that there will be so you’re wrong there.=You can guarantee nothing. And they said there would be halftime highlights in 12, and there was… ONE per game, smh.=Also the build at E3 was the alpha build so it’s far from a finished product=Keep dreaming, guy. I developed games professionally for quite some time, and what was at E3 was FAR ahead of an alpha build. But they can fool people like you with by saying BS like that, because you don’t know any better and you’ll believe anything they say.=and it’s already looking like it will be one of the best football games ever made.=Hilarious. Madden 13 won’t even crack a top 10 list of best football games ever made.=With Cam Weber and this new development team you will never see this game going anywhere but forward. I would be willing to be that next year you will see drastically improved player movement, improved o-line and d-line interaction,footplanting and improvement of the Infinity Engine in all areas, as well as a studio halftime or weekly show in connected careers.=This “new development” crap is getting on my nerves, because it’s greatly exaggerated. They didn’t fire everybody. Damn near everyone who worked on Madden 11 and 12 are still on the team in the same roles they were in before. All they did was add some new guys to the leadership roles, and MAYBE doubled the size of SOME of their key team channels. But it’s not a team of all new guys. But again, you spout this because you don’t know any better and you’ll believe anything they say.And as for the game being fixed in all of those areas you mentioned, keep dreaming. Let’s keep in mind that there WAS a halftime show in Madden 10, but they took it out and gave up on it like the jokes they are. All they do is take things out and re-introduce them later as “new”.=By the way you saw ONE video of halftime not videos, while you’re accusing me of making stuff up.=Wrong. I saw TWO videos showing me this. And didn’t accuse you of making anything up, I just pointed out how you hype and over-hype because you do.
    - Jpdavis1982
      
      The build at E3 was the alpha build you can believe what you want, they said they made the build for E3 a long time ago to have it ready and functional for E3. The development team is new in many areas and most importantly in the areas that matter most, which are gameplay and audio presentation, the two weakest points in previous Madden’s. I know you’re lying about the two halftime montage video thing because there is only one out that shows the halftime montage. There are two that show the post game montage, both show 4-5 in game highlights. I’d be willing to bet that they are working on a new halftime and weekly studio show for Madden 14. They started working on the Infinity Engine last year. If you know as much about video game development as you say you do then you will understand that it takes two years for a lot of these features to be implemented in these games. NBA 2k13 is just now getting physics so I don’t get your point about it should have been in the game 8 years ago. People assume a whole lot when it comes to what NFL 2k might be, most developers have wanted physics in sports games for years (Including Madden) but they weren’t ready to make the move until they felt it was ready. Victor Lugo and a team of physicists began working on the Infinity Engine in 2010 and have been perfecting it ever since and will keep perfecting it in Madden14, 15, etc.. Meanwhile 2k fanboys will be waiting for NFL2k to come back and one day they will wake up 10 years from now wondering why they wasted all their time complaining on forums and facebook instead of making a real effort to do something about it. 2k fanboys are far too lazy to actually get their developers to notice them and even consider coming back. There may be another NFL game that comes out in the future besides Madden but it won’t be 2k.

      First of all, I’m not “lying” about anything. I don’t need to lie to you. You don’t pay my bills or put food on my table, or can deal out any consequence to my life, so why the hell would I need to lie to you? Get over yourself.
      
      There a TONS of E3 vids of Madden all over the web. Neither you or I have seen them all, and you haven’t seen all the one’s I’ve seen either. Don’t tell me what I saw, dude. I know what the hell I saw.
      
      Your comments on the dev changes are uninformed. They need an entirely new programming team for AI and another for animations in addition to a new animation system. Those are where Madden’s biggest problems are. They didn’t do any of those things, so as far as I’m concerned their changes are nothing more than window-dressing, like usual. The game looks not much different from Madden 12 with the same crappy ass animations with a few new one jammed into an already crappy lineup.
      
      Who the eff cares about Madden 14? See that’s the problem. The game is such crap that the only defense that can ever be given is “wait till next year”. Unacceptable BS. Save it. This is an 8th generation game. These things should’ve been in there year one like other sports titles this generation and in past generations. Don’t give me this crap, man.
      
      You don’t listen. I never said a damn thing about real-time physics or how long it should or shouldn’t take to be put into the game. I don’t care about real-time physics when the core animations suck ass.
      
      Finally, whether 2K comes back or not has nothing to do with this. But one thing is for sure, without 2K around Madden continues its slide into the abyss of hell. No matter what your opinion of Madden is, only a dishonest person can act like this product has made any real innovations. In fact, Madden hasn’t made any actual innovations that stuck since John Madden football first came out. Since then, there has always been a technologically superior football game, and EA’s only response to it is to market well and convince people they’re the leaders in innovation rather than going in the studio and proving it in development.

      I’m sorry but you are going to have to tell me what video you saw the halftime show in because I have posted every madden video from E3 on the OS forums and the only one that shows the halftime montage is the Miami at Carolina video. If you can tell me the teams that were playing I will believe you. I’ve posted at least 60+ E3 videos and have only seen the halftime in the one I mentioned.

      JP,
      Again, get over yourself. I couldn’t POSSIBLY care less about YOU of all people–Madden’s biggest butt pirate–believing me. Believe whatever the hell you want. And your attempt here is lame anyway, since even if I saw one video it would still prove the point anyway, smh.
      I’m not about to go back scouring the net for videos to prove a point. When everything comes out, the final truth will be there. If halfime highlights are in then every video coming out will prove it at that point. If not it won’t. Simple as that.
    - Jpdavis1982
      
      By the way you saw ONE video of halftime not videos, while you’re accusing me of making stuff up.

      I guess you gravitate towards laziness otherwise you would’ve never reserved your copy at Toys ‘R Us.

I agree Crimson…you get legend Michael Irvin out there…and he is trying his best to sound excited…but did you hear him sound all pumped up, then when the lights went out…his hypness went away…LOL…he said “aw we done, or this way” or something. All this hype..over BS..the game looks pretty…but they are just flat out of ideas to make this thing truly interesting anymore. I remember standing in line hours waiting for Madden…now I pick it up a week or 2 after it comes out..as a fan of the series, I still think 2jk was far advanced in certain areas on ps2 than madden is 8 years later on ps 3..Presentation, and Audio 8 fucking years ago still farrrrrrrrrr better than madden…..that’s sad. When is EA contract up..I thought it was next year
- Crimson
  
  Its a sad state of affairs indeed.
  - Eagleyedesigns
    
    Sad enough for you to reserve a copy at Toys ‘R Us.
- Eagleyedesigns
  
  That’s not what Irvin said…He said to Cam Webber…”Man, you really have the coolest job on the planet, do you know this?! The coolest job, man!” As they were walking off of the stage…

I guess you’ll find out when you pick up your reserved copy at Toys ‘R Us.

Any word on any modifications made to franchise mode this year? They made a lot of changes last year but I still would think they could tweak some things, the coaching carousel that is the NFL, players being brought back out of retirement for the right situation and money, etc and of course importing rosters from NCAA football could still use some work.

Jpdavis1982

There is no Franchise mode this year, they have combined Offline, Online, and Superstar and it is now called Connected Careers. They are going to be building on this for years and years to come. Go ahead and forget everything you have ever known about Franchise Mode.
- Eagleyedesigns
  
  Wrong. Play as a “Coach” = Francise Mode…Play as a player = Superstar Mode…They just changed the names and consolidated everything…You can still play 30 seasons of Franchise, i.e. “Play as a Coach”.
  - Joe
    
    Wow. Thanks for the info guys and/or girls. Eagleyedesigns I hope you’re correct if not then Jpdavis1982 is right.
    - Jpdavis1982
      
      It’s still the same concept but it’s also a new Career mode, they build it off of the same concept as Franchise Mode but they built this from scratch. It’s actually a lot more like Head Coach than Franchise Mode has been in the past. The main difference is that you can still control your team and do the same things you always have been able to do in offline Franchise. Just because I appreciate what EA did this year does not make me a EA fanboy. This is not the same team making Madden as you have seen in the past and they are going to take this game places. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if your opinion is that it’s just hype and it’s not really physics or this team is no different than what we have seen in the past than your opinion is invalid and NEEDS to be ignored, like those ICANMAKECHANGES, JAYMUZIC7 clowns on Youtube those guys are more full of BS than EA ever has been. If however you don’t like Madden but can acknowledge that this team is trying to improve Madden and adding physics was a step in the right direction than your opinion is reasonable and valid.
    - Joe
      
      I wasn’t trying to say anything other than get some info on what Franchise mode would be this year. I thank you for your insight and honestly I am looking forward to all the changes. The one aspect about all sports titles is that if the developers don’t try something new every year than they shouldn’t bring out a new title. The consoles are at a point where you can just release roster updates and not a whole new game if you aren’t going to try new things. Thanks again, I am looking forward to Madden 13.

    Eagleeye, why do you always seem to justify EA’s bullshit? Just asking because no matter what they do, you back them up as if they could do no wrong. Are you part of Tiburon’s shitty full sail team, a fan boy or what?
    - Eagleyedesigns
      
      I don’t…I fucking can’t stand Hamburglar’s fat fucking ass and that whole team for NCAA, which is a bullshit game and a shit demo…I’m just really excited for Madden this year is all…

      Eagleeye definitely doesn’t always justify their bullshit. In fact he was probably more critical than guys like Keith and Crimson earlier in the year. Shit, he was givin me hell on these boards back when I first started posting too, before that slowed down.

      jwann can you ask them can you play other teams withinthe schedule on madden13 or you have to watch the cpu sim the other games? its not worth $60 for that

      First – my name is right there on your screen. Spell it right, it’s not that hard.
      
      Second – come on with the lame “EA employee” bullshit. Even if I did work there, you think I give a fuck whether or not you can play other games on the schedule? Or whether you want it? I think there are much bigger concerns than that, IMO.
      
      How about you go on Twitter and ask them yourself?
- Crimson
  
  Go ahead and cancel your preorder for this stupid bullshit too.

    There is franchise. You start your connected career as a coach. You can do it online or offline. And its exactly the same as franchise. Learn your shit before posting comments.
    - Crimson
      
      Learn what shit? Whats there to learn that we haven’t learned already this gen? This game is gonna be more of the same. I learned that already. Now, how about you learn to kiss my ass?
    - Eagleyedesigns
      
      You wonder why this faggot has a reserved copy at Toys ‘R Us.
  - Eagleyedesigns
    
    You should do the same to your reserved copy at Toys ‘R Us…

Absolutely love the picture at the top of the article. Go Titans!

Obviously you guys all care enough about the game to read articles and watch videos for it. 90% of you who say you wont get the game will. If you hate the damn game so much quit reading articles quit commenting just go away. EA doesnt care if you want a halftime show or anything else. So why waste your time bitching about one. I like the new stuff. It may not be completely different from 12 or 11 or any other madden. But it is getting better. If you dont like it dont buy it. EA wont miss your 60 bucks.

Yo

no i have every right to bash and bash and bash, so deal with it. I love people who put up with mediocre garbage. I have not bought madden in 10 years, and I have much more fun with fifa and nhl.
Foxcon says hello

Its obvious that you like taking it up the ass too. I can see that already by you sporting that Apple avatar bullshit. You are probably used to paying extra for the same old shit. EA loves marketing their rehashed garbage to ignorant people like you. You’re the target audience. Stay stupid, you do it well.

Jpdavis1982

This is going to be an awesome game, if you think EA is lazy just watch this, this is ridiculously in depth.
