If I win the Super Bowl with my team a few times and I feel like it's getting too easy I'll just retire that owner and pick a lower rated team.

That's definitely optional.

After reading more reviews its clear I will skip this year, still too many legacy issues like no penalties, qbs too accurate. Baby steps every year. Reviews have been mixed. Maybe by 2017 we will have proper movement, proper wr/db jostling. Sign.

No offense to MMChris, you are entitled to your own opinion (no matter what that maybe). But please understand that the game can be better analyzed with a non-biased opinion (someone who calls it like it IS). Coming from that perspective, this impression doesn't hold much weight. And regardless if you like or cant stand Madden, we all hope for the best and want solid impressions we can gauge the game with (especially without a demo). Im going to redbox it. I could have found out everything i needed from the demo, but we all know that isn't possible. I think that inadvertently amplifies the "need" for unbiased impressions. Thanks for sharing anyways thou.

Agree OS has been very madden biased it seems, no sports series had the long standing legacy issues madden had. They overhype and overrate madden year in and out.

That just shouldn't happen. But again, he still never discusses slide protection and its implications. So once you see this and if slide protection has any implications, just pat yourself on the back, use slide protection and tell the people who are trying to use this NICE Try. The second one I wouldn't consider a nano.

If only people would use the tools.....

Haven't read the reviews in the last few years? They've been mediocre at best at OS.

Same scores, good, not great.

Madden 13 received a 8.5

That's true. Good point. She goes on the operationsports podcast and definitely knows a lot about Madden, for what it's worth.

Fair enough but not everyone is aware of this fact. What about the dozen or more legacy issues it still has?
