I'm tired of seeing Madden getting more features then NCAA. Couple of years ago they said they were going to stop that. But now it looks like they are back to treating NCAA like a step brother of Madden.

But anyway.......if it is Kinect features, meh, I have a kinect but I mainly game late at night. I doubt my wife would like hearing me yelling audibles at 1am.

Yeah I imagine "connected careers" to be an iteration of franchise mode, perhaps they simply left out the terms franchise and superstar for the sake of subterfuge and to build intrigue. Honestly, I'd be satisfied enough if they corrected some of the issues with franchise mode from last year that prevented me from playing that mode (uneditable accelerated clock, wonky generated player models, and cut system for instance) and perhaps made a few minor improvements to it. I'm not necessarily clamoring for a huge overhaul personally.

I hope the Gameplay 2 is an expansion on DPP rather than something related to Kinect, as I feel that would be a really polarizing direction for the game to take. Excited to find out though and likely buying on release day either way

I agree that all of the pictures we have seen are from madden 12. If they are from 13 then it's not much of an overhaul though thenfact they never released a teaser or a suprer bowl blog means to me that they werent finished or close to an alpha stage. I doubt the monumental game change is anything kinect based. Just a thought, wouldn't audio fall under presentation?

I'm hoping it's similar to fifas physics engine or EAs NHL game, however, I'm not going to get too excited. So far anything that this Madden dev has implemented from FIFA has been a huge let down...Im looking at you locomotion feature from M11.

Although a real physics engine would be great I hope they will never take that one from FIFA and NHL. While sometimes the first contact does look good what happens after that looks pretty bad.

Anyways we won't see a real time physics in Madden before next gen and if they go with something they developed themselves the results will be pretty poor. Programming a real physics engine takes a lot of time and I doubt Tiburon will have that time. So I guess they will just have liscense it from NaturalMotion or Havok.

Depends on what the audio is used for. If it is purely just the sounds then yeah. But if the audio is used to control game play, it will fall under game play.

I'm guessing that would be the kinect feature then. Call out your own plays perhaps?

Well, forgive me if I am skeptical, as I feel as though I have read these same marketing blurbs many times.

these lines alone: Madden NFL 13 is all-new from boot up to credits. Every mode, every screen, every pixel has been reinvented delivering the most innovative, connected, and authentic Madden NFL experience in franchise history.--

-I just do not believe. They will have to prove that to me before I give them any more of my money
