After reading the reviews, I may end up doing something I have never done...trade NCAA for Madden. I stopped playing '12 by the beginning of October last year because of how bad it was...13 is at my doorstep and I don't even know if I want to play it.

Solid Review. It was well written and very fair.

I have felt similar about the defensive side of the ball. It has just been stale for me, with the exception of user vs user games.

Haven't been excited for the past few years(this year the least). I decided a few months ago not to buy NCAA for only the 2nd time in the games history(NCAA 10 being the only other). Judging by this review I made the right choice.

It really is great to read reviews from actual Sports Gamers. Thank you, OS, for being that outlet.

Nice review! I'm trying to hold off on this purchase and get Madden

Great review. Thanks for telling how the game really is. True game players know how the game plays.

I have a question though. In the review, you stated that "the new weather effects are nice and the lightning is a step up", does this mean that in a game that is being played a rain storm, there will be occasional lightning flahes?

Pretty sure Chris meant "lighting", not "lightning". The lighting updates after every play this year.

Fair enough review

The guys who want The Show, Fifa, GT/FORZA, NBA 2k type realism and authenticity are still going to be disappointed

Its not that type of game yet Sadly

At this point it is still more of a Novelty type game based on elements of football....I sort of think of it as a Movie Based on a book who had changed things because they thought it fit the format better

The movie is still fun for some but the hardcore Book followers of years can easily still feel like they didn't see the whole essence of what made them love the book so much

Ive had to develop a high tolerance level to get some old school level fun factor from these games.....But I think Ive finally reached my limit......The terrible OL/DL Play with the Super DTs racking up all the pressure/sacks is just a major obstacle for me now.....And I just don't think they improved the game enough in other areas for me to spend the cash on it this year
