Once it's out of EA's hands, it needs to go through testing and certification at Sony or MS. It's out of EA's hands at this point.

I'm not even talking about getting sacks, I'm talking about getting pressure. Oh well, my expectations have dropped so low it doesn't even matter.

Maybe a tuner, Taz, we can hope.

PS3 users should be jumping up & down

fixing the fiel textures is huge. Hopefully it will be as good as the 360's!

Less rain games is awesome!

On update #3, just update commentary, fix random pops, and fix the franchise multi season scrubs issue & we got ourselves a game tha FINALLY I can put 2k5 to rest.

Madden 13 give us custom stadium music, and better challenge system, & fix the ice skating & I'll be a happy gamer!

I'm glad that they're fixing the rain.

One of the early Maddens on the Sega Genesis had great wind effects. The wind would actually vary mph through out the game. You actually had to change your gameplan up if it was too windy. You could forget about long bombs or long field goals and even punting was effected. Anyone else remember that ? or was is it just a dream I had ? lol Next gen huh

Yes you need 32 team control to get ultra realistic roster management and avoid some CPU mishaps. But overall franchise mode is so much better now than it ever has been on this gen. But go over to the NBA 2K12 forum....same crap. Total uproar about wonky cpu AI decision making in Association mode. Same for MLB The Show and on and on and on. I am having a blast. Too bad the game is "broken" for some.

listen i understand where you are coming from with controlling all 32 teams. i do this now, the fact of the matter is that we shouldn't have to do this. the game should work as it is intended or else don't put out the game. if you went to a steakhouse and ordered a steak cooked medium you shouldn't get a steak cooked rare and expect to cook it the rest of the way. you would send it back, and if that couldn't be done you would take your money elsewhere. they say true to the game, bigger deeper etc... well make good on the promises and stop giving us these unfinished products. i'm tired of having to come up with all of these workarounds just to make the game playable. this is ridiculous and it's gone on for too long.

rain issue was a must, i just don't get how you can focus on the visual of the field and overlook the visuals of the players on the field with skinny legs, big butts, huge spikey shoulder pads, disproportional bodies.

it shouldn't leave there hands until everything looked and played right from the beginning. technically we shouldn't have to worry about patches for issues. there shouldn't be any.

I agree. I see no difference between gameplay and graphics/animations. It's so ridiculous seeing the cpu parade out these WRs with linebacker facemasks, elbow pads, no gloves, and giant shoulder pads. Or like this WR I drafted who looked normal except he had the hugest calves of all time.
