madden 13

I wish I didn't buy it. The gameplay is fine, but I'm an offline franchise guy, and connected careers is terrible. No roster editing, poor simulation, terrible CPU roster moves. But my biggest complaint is the XP, goals progression. I really prefer unmasked potential as it's better for realism. And my team rankings plummeted by the time I finished preseason to a laughable level for reasons I can't explain.

Seriously, last time I send EA money. No way they maintain a monopoly on football forever.

If lack of player editing, XP system, and goal progression isnt something that you dont like, then no, you wont like the game. I dont see the poor simulation, bad CPU roster moves that you do, I think it is very well done. Unmasked potential has been the worst thing about madden franchise is the previous years, IMO anyway. I would rather be able to progress players through play and practice and also there is still a player development rating in the game for each player that dictates the progression rate each player can have. One question, when you started your connected career, did you do it offline or online? The reason I ask is because there are some issues that need to be patched, but they have been able to make these changes via the server for the online connected career. By the way, you can have a one person (yourself) online connected career and not have to worry about other people getting in it. IMO connected careers is one of the deepest franchise modes ever and I would even put it above one of my favorite games, the show. Just my .02
 
This game is HORRIBLE... Im going to joing the FIFA club with RTG this year... Ncaa and Madden are unplayable IMO

LOL, try renting, borrowing, or whatever the retail version...........the RTP is much more polished in the retail from the demo and those replays you are complaining about where only bad in the demo due to the fact they had to cut down the size of the demo. Trust me, the replays are great in the retail
 
First football game I've purchased in years, loving it so far. Running is a blast. Game plays almost too quickly though, had to turn the speed down a notch
 
For those mad about the lack of fantasy draft, isn't that what ultimate team is??
 
I love the game. Seems like Pro difficulty is a little too easy though. Yeah, I play on Pro. Don't hate.
 
So i spent 5 hours in practice mode last night on all pro and have honestly fell in love with the game... I had only played career mode and alot of the bugs i noticed must have been from that or all madden.... Reid... go buy it today...

Thats right.
 
I'm enjoying the game so far.. Mason, played Foxland again yesterday. Course kicked my ass from the blues.
 
RTP... It's the real deal IMO... It could be that I feel I'm gonna be better at this than any other football GM I've ever played....
 
The game is forcing me to play differently than I usually do, but I'm actually enjoying it. I had a horrible first game on All-Pro but it didn't feel too cheap with the exception of some wonky physics still. I miss the draft import (or at least a draft editor) but I do enjoy the CCM a lot.

I really view this game as a Beta for Madden '14. With the few major disappointing exclusions this year, they really have no excuses for knocking the ball out of the park next year now that the gameplay is smoother than it ever has been.
 
Anyone know how to change scheme in coach career mode? I select Pats playbook (spread) and Tampa 2... Yet my team still shows balanced/ multiple front in game.

If you do it in an offline connected career, it won't save.... Waiting on a patch. If it is an online connected career it will work properly because they have fixed it and are able to fix stuff like that on the fly since it is server side.
 
Love this game more and more as I play.

Going on sale for $50 next week at Target.
