From my perspective no. I think both "that other game" and previous Madden editions felt arcadish with some of the passing. Right now I'm on the fence with this being the most realistic passing experience in a football title ever. But a lot of that will depend on final tuning and what not.

Off topic a bit, we had a discussion on whether or not this is the best Madden ever. I'm going to go on record now saying yes it is hands down (for me anyways). Each game that comes out in any series has disappointments in some area and I will without a doubt find some with Madden 13 as some of you will for sure. Once again depending on tuning or any other unforeseen issues, you should be able to put this edition as a top 5 (at least) sports game ever. For the record I had Madden 12 at around 10

Can you guys talk about this new motion blurr stuff ? Is it over done ? Its just not sitting well with me. Maybe because I have a $3000.00 TV and tried to find the clearest crispest picture I could... I don't know.

Amen brother, you are preaching to the choir. The personal level you used to be able to have on OS was what made it special for a long time.

How much ground can the average safety cover???....Will people have to think twice about bringing them down in the box now???

Pretty big statement here (top 5 sports game EVER) but I am happy you feel that way. I am hoping that this does end up being the case. I have to admit that that gameplay/audio video really was dissapointing. I am going to hold my judgment until June 4th as I am expecting huge things for both gameplay and Franchise mode.

If we do get RTP's like many are speculating and it works well. The two things people will complain about this year (and rightfully so) is going to be OL/DL play and locomotion/footplanting. I am not sure we can consider this a top 5 sports game ever with these two glaring issues still around. But atleast EA is knocking things out more and more and hopefully next year those can be the next two big things this series can overcome.

Personally, I can overlook those things if the passing game works as well as you say. And we get RTP's for tackling so that weight, momentum, velocity and angle all play into EACH tackle. And the tackles look very organic without constantly seeing the same 15 tackling animations play out over and over again.

We will see June 4th.....

"Beautiful! Leading a receiver or throwing to a spot works very well (once again, if your QB can make a good throw) but is very much dependent on the user. It will take you a few games for sure to get used to the intricacies of the new system."

Can you say Tony Romo, Dez Bryant.
