Its too bad Calvin Johnson is gonna miss most the season now
I'm a fan of the series, I traded '12 in and I miss it right now. I'm most likely going to get it for Vita this year

I love the Madden series. It definitely has its flaws but hopefully this year with the improved physics it will take a giant leap forward.
I, for one, would like to see the gamepay be more fluid. Something along the lines of EA's NCAA football. I feel NCAA has had a a better (more fluid) gameplay the last few years

one thing about madden that drove me bat crazy was the inability to manage the salary cap. bum free agents who would never have a job demanded to make millions. so unrealistic.

No more Collinsworth right? If true, that almost sells it right there.

Yeah, but I think I read they replaced him with Phil Simms. God help us all.

Jim nantz and Phil Simms new commentators. They have the CBS stile presentation.
Hopefully they add more plays to the play book this year.

Agreed. Just picked up a used copy of NCAA '12 a couple months ago, I'm loving it. Definitely better than Madden '12.
Hopefully they get the bugs worked out this year, I miss the days of Madden supremacy from like 02-07 when I'd run out & buy it the day it came out. Just hasn't translated to current gen as well for whatever reason.

I've got a lot of the same feelings as NHL 13 on this one, as it is another EA product.
They've got to improve the AI. It isn't fair that I can make the perfect cover play in All-Madden mode, only to have my CB drop the ball for the sure INT and the AI is able to punish EVERY mistake I make. Every single one.
I once went 13/15 in AM mode, with 2 INTs.
The fade routes they tried to add last year were pretty much a disaster.
Different throws that should work - I.E. back shoulder throw, simply do not, they can be picked off by a CB who is seemingly running faster backwards than your reciever or they develop eyes in the back of their head.
The PA pass one is annoying for sure - seeing the sack coming when before you even got the ball and jamming all your keys to try and toss it only to fail horribly. Infuriating.

Haha I definitely hear you there. Absolutely infuriating how many mistakes your CPU controlled players make (dropped picks, holding like CRAZY, especially on returns), compared to the flawless performances the opposition CPU controlled players make. The worst is when you throw a deep ball in 1-on-1 coverage, and somehow the defender manages to reach out and make an unbelievable pick when he wasn't even looking at the ball and was out of position.
I actually had to turn holding/clipping calls down in the settings from 50 to 30, as it was getting to the point where almost every time I bounced to the outside on a return, it was coming back on a hold.
Good to hear they're fixing the mechanics on offence, I just hope that doesn't mean every game's gonna be 44-41 again like in '11. Seems every year it rotates between way too much O & way too much D. They had it perfect in '05 (IMO), never been able to match it since.

Really? Fade routes were my go to in the endzone. If I had a big WR, with good hands in one-on-one coverage, a soft lob was pretty much a guaranteed TD.

I have played the demo, they really upped the presentation, even added the cbs guys. They talk in the pre game and you actually see them speaking, kinda neat. The hits are pretty nasty this year, I caught myself going OOOH when I hit some guys and I find the animations for the hits different a lot of the time. Bunch of different drop back animations. You get Niners vs Giants and Seahawks vs Redskins. I liked it a lot more then 12, it is really good.

I would imagine you download it from the "Demo's" section in the PS store.

Played the demo and I like it! A lot of the complaints I had with it have seemingly been addressed. The game is a lot more fluid now.
Anyone else think the coaches look rather creepy when it shows a close up of them?

wow, just played the demo this morning before work.
Outstanding game. I haven't bought madden in several years as it starts to eat dust as soon as nhl comes out, but if i get bored of nhl early like i did last year, this is easily a game i would dish out cash for.
Also a good backup plan in case of a strike
