Madden NFL 13 Gameplay Impressions

[SuperSeahawks]

I like what I've seen so far for Madden 13. Madden 12 is solid with the right sliders (thanks Jarrod) and the improvements to the passing game and defensive alignments really help out. What I'm intrigued by most from the gameplay blog is the flashing WR Icons indicating whether someone is ready to receive a pass, the improved PA passing game, the added pass trajectories ( something besides the moon ball and the bullet pass), more WR animations and defensive alignments fix (I hate seeing Keith Bulluck being matched up on Desean Jackson on man coverage).

If these features work the way I hope they will, there's no reason that Madden 13 can't be a great game in my eyes. I can't wait to see what else they have to offer on upcoming blogs, especially gameplay blog part 2!

So all these passing trajectories, do we control them or are they just determined automatically?

Plenty of others have confirmed this as well. The XBOX 360 has nothing to do with it at all, as that's pretty much the only system that I play video games on and I have zero issues with switching to DB's and getting tons of "user" interceptions and swats.

Perhaps Madden is different then because I play NCAA and it most assuredly has nothing to do with my "skills" or my game. It's poor control plain and simple. It's a common complaint and one that EA has acknowledged in the past and claimed to be fixed but still shows up on occasion. Not all of the time but quite often.
