The Faces of Madden

In my opinion, what truly hurts Madden besides the obvious game-play flaws is the lack of player's real faces. NBA 2K is one of my favorite sports series of all time because every player's face is in the game and gives it an authenticity like no other.

I fully understand that there are many more players in the NFL than there is the NBA but at least get the majority of the starters. I saw some footage of a pregame video for Madden NFL 13 and they showed Darrelle Revis with his helmet off and it looked literally nothing like him and the same for a clip of Cam Newton *(links below of what I am talking about)...it completely killed it for me and took me right out of the experience.

Don't get me wrong, they have made HUGE strides this year and I am thrilled but this is something that really irks me and please let me know if it bothers anyone else as much as me.

See I already know I'm getting the NCAA 13 as I've already pre ordered it. However I was entertaining the idea of getting Madden 13. Would you say don't get it? Haven't played it since it was out for pc so that gives you a timetable per say.

Hey Wasp, yea i would absolutely say get it simply because this is going to be the best made Madden of this generation. The faces are killing me though!

Haven't had a Madden series game in probably 5 years so it would be different. Is it alot like the NCAA series would ya say and if not what differences are there? Tx Joey
