Re: Madden 13 Gameplay Impressions

The animations are definitely improving, but there still is too much sliding,snapping into place, and not enough transitional animation, but this is the best the game has looked this whole gen, as it should be.

Has the Man To Man switch logic been corrected yet? Defenders would switch after the ball was snapped leaving the opposition open....Has the player agility been tuned yet to lessen zig-zag running capabilities? Has the draw play (D-Line would flare out like in the edge rush audible...just so the draw could work) been fixed yet? Have defenders (mainly safeties) been given the logic of...if there's only one route on your deep half to cover it instead of playing CF? Happens mainly in Cover 1...Have Delay Routes been adjusted so that the HB will stay in longer to block or at the very least chip a DE or DT before releasing on his route? Have the Offensive Linemen been corrected in their blocking assignments on blitzes??? Madden 12 they would allow the DE or DT in front of them free release but block the blitzing LB or S...Do defenders break down on routes with the receivers now too? This IMO is the biggest reason for "Physic Defenders" because if my receiver has to break down at any point in his route but the defender never has to break stride then I'm at a disadvantage every time I drop back to pass...All I can think of......For Now

I can live with the sliding. As long a super LB doesn't magically appear when making a pass to a wide open receiver over the middle, I'll be happy.

Re: Madden 13 Gameplay Impressions

Color me very pessimistic. Same old story we did this and did that and now we have a new passing mechanic that really is an old passing mechanic. Everything sounds great, but typically EA's execution of these new ideas has been less than stellar.

Re: Madden 13 Gameplay Impressions

To everyone saying that the "new" mechanic is old. You're wrong, leading receivers was in prior Maddens but the pass trajectory and ball speeds are what is new, thus making it a new mechanic. You can't single out one feature and label the entire thing as old if it's something that is a combination of many features like passing....

Re: Madden 13 Gameplay Impressions

Madden NFL 13 will feature a total control passing mechanic, where you lead receivers with the “L” stick. So, for example, you have a receiver split out wide, running a go-route against a cover 2. Just after the chuck, there is a small window of opportunity for you to throw a pass to the outside shoulder on the sidelines. You do this by timing it right, holding the “L” stick and pointing it towards the sidelines.

This pretty much sounds like what I'm doing now with the left stick but it also sounds like they added a few more stuff you can do with it to place certain passes which is great news. The guys who aren't using the left stick now better start working with it or else they'll struggle with there passing again on 13..

"Play calling has been improved, including play calling in the red zone and 2-minute drill. For example, the Saints are more likely to throw on 1st and goal at the 1, they might even bring out 4 wide in shotgun formation. You won’t see a play action fake from a goalline formation called when it’s 3rd and goal from the 5-yard line. In the 2-minute drill, you will no longer see 4 vert called on every play. Instead, you will see more sideline corner strikes, passing to the flats and hitting receivers near the sidelines.
The AI also has a new conserve time strategy. If you are down 17 points, you will see the defense go into prevent, bend but don’t break, giving up the underneath stuff. Defenses will play soft zones, and won’t blitz nearly as often, to avoid the risk of giving up a quick score. Offensively, the AI will no longer go deep every play. Instead, they will call underneath plays and the offense will take what the defense gives them with high percentage completion plays."


This is great news for me.. I been asking for this for years. The 2 minute drill for the AI has been the worst for years for both there offense and defense. I'm glad they finally tuned this area.. It should definitely make the game more challening in those situations..

Completely agree and it is why i won't purchase another installation of this franchise untill the running is fixed/engine is changed. I have had enough of this gen of madden/Ncaa, i will play ncaa 06 and madden 06 on ps2 and be happy not wasting $120 on a glorified roster update. It's been 6 years now and we are getting a quality of product we should have had on madden 08'.
