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.

360 sorry.

Additionally, I have no idea how the online franchise works.

Anyone playing franchise mode (or whatever it's called now), try your hardest to get the #1 pick for the 2015 draft. There's a black QB named Stacey Knight and he's an absolute beast. He has a 95 in speed on top of great throwing attributes.

I don't think its the same for everyone.

When I first got the game, I simmed through the first season (anything is better than playing with Matt Cassel). Drafted some dude name Andrew Carvel with the 1st round pick in the 13 draft. He had pretty good throwing attributes, but was slow as shit (like, 51 speed or something).

So the next year a prospect comes out named Pooh Carlson. Dude has even better throwing attributes than Carvel, plus 86 speed or somewhere near there. So I packaged Carvel (who's overall I had just raised several points in the previous season/post season) and one of our stars (Eric Winston, I think ) to get him.

I don't remember seeing anyone named Stacey Knight and I'm 4 seasons in, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thought names and images were randomized now so people couldn't memorize which players to draft.

Well I know the players are their attributes are the same. I just think it's random as to WHEN those particular players show up. I've read online about this particular player and other gamers seemed to have him at the same stats that I do. Either way...when he shows up, try to get him if you need a QB.

Also, it really irritates me that they don't have NCAA importable draft classes this year. I mean...they've had that for a while now. Why take it out at this point? It was an awesome feature. Especially since NCAA is awesome this year and I was actually gonna play a dynasty and then use my draft classes for Madden. Stupid. And where the F is the Gary Glitter song after TDs? They had that last couple of years too and now it's gone. Seems like they remove more shit than they add every year, and what they remove is sometimes better than the bullshit they add.

I hope the Chiefs sign Stacey Knight, dude sounds incredible...I'm scouring the college ranks looking for him....

[unnecessary drama]

I love playing this game when you get matched with someone that plays the game the way it should be played. You know, nice, "sporting" individuals..

But ****, I'm ****ing tired of the people that play this shit. 90% of the games I play, the other guy doesn't use more than 5 or 6 offensive plays the entire game. If I can win against them, its cool; but some people have obviously mastered exploiting some of the game's worst flaws. I hate giving them the satisfaction of the W with their cheating ass ways.

I usually get on the mic, even when I'm winning, and bitch at them. There's no ****ing way the game can be fun the way these douchebags play. Its like camping in Call of Duty..

I gave up playing online years ago for that very reason.

Why should they run more than 5 or 6 plays if you cant stop it? I probably run around 10 different plays to test your defense and I will keep running them until you make changes.

Uhh, because its cheap and can't possibly be fun.

I'm not talking about "money" plays here; I'm talking about cheap ass glitch-type plays. These people find an obvious cheap ass tactic and exploit it to no end. After a lot of practice, some of those ****ers get REALLY good at it.

Its ****ing lame.

I like how my DBs drop 10 interceptions a game that are thrown directly to them, but their LBs can make behind the back one handed interceptions all day lol. All Madden of course. I understand they make DBs drop interceptions often so there isn't like 15 picks per game, but maybe they should make the AI QBs NOT throw 15 passes directly to my defender every game if they want realism.
