Madden NFL 13 Connected Careers Mode Preview

[Mckinley Cash]

I've been waiting forever for a sports game that goes into this much depth in a career mode. This is only the first year its in and it already sounds sweet! Chill out everybody that's nitpicking. There will always be Madden 14, and I doubt they will leave this mode untouched as it's one of the cornerstones for the future of Madden. The sky is the limit, people.

I feel for everyone who wants that though, but some are repeating their anger over and over again, which is counter productive I think (not on this thread, on that one). This mode sounds interesting, won't be a first day buy but I might buy it. I like the NCAA demo so I might stick with it and go full physics in both games next year in buying both. I'll see what everyone says on here as usual before making a choice on Madden for this year.

to answer your first question, i don't come on the Madden boards much and i read about this new mode from the main page. I haven't bought Madden in over 3 years because i haven't enjoyed a Madden game in over 5+ years. So this year i was thinking of giving it a try with the new engine but now i don't know.

To the people complaining about not being able to control 32 teams in CCM... I think EA is trying to tell you something... Go make some friends and play online!

i don't enjoy online and the majority of people who buy the game don't play online.

There are some things I'm not clear about yet, but I'm sure the answers are coming as we get closer to release.
There are some things I don't like and there are some things that I love.

But most of all, hats off to EA/Tiburon. They done a complete overhaul on this game. They have added so much that the community has been begging for. And yes they have removed a few things, but overhauling a game like this means some things need to go, for now at least.

I just can not get my head around some of the negativity towards what has been done. Year after year people complain that Madden is nothing more than a $59.99 roster update with some useless gimmick added to it. Not going to argue that point with the last few releases. But then they do this massive update and completely change the game (real time physics alone would have made me happy) and people still complain.

Constructive criticism is one thing and should be encouraged, but most of what I see is just flat out complaining simply to complain. I swear some people just see "EA" or "Madden" and start throwing out senseless complaints about the game where it is obvious they have not even taken the time to read/watch/listen to the information that has been released.

Madden 13 so far, not perfect, definitely on the right track and getting there fast.

yea bcuz when people want actually stuff added to the game and not some gimmick i am sure they arent expecting other stuff to be removed... thats why people complain... CCM sounds good really it does but the stuff they removed is negative to how i play the game.. my brothers and i each control our own fav teams and play on one console and we've been doing that since madden 99 and now we cant do that when they finally make some great improvements.. i feel it was an oversight on their part to remove this.. if they somehow kept the ability to control all 32 teams at least offline then this is great.. i understand one team/player online but not off
