You see, here's the thing though. I simply just do not care. EA has me as an easily satisfied consumer? So be it, as long as their games are decent. Madden 12 was not decent, it was terrible, which is why I didn't even buy it (or Madden 11/10 for that matter). Madden 13 is already an upgrade from that and I don't even own the full game yet. Yeah the old Maddens were much better, that's why I still own them and play them from time to time. I'll admit, I'm not hard to please because at the end of the day I know it's just a video game and I probably won't be spending all that much time on it (being a college student and all). I'm not asking for the world (like so many others are) just give me a decent game that gets me through the week until Sunday.

Basically, in a nutshell, Madden 13 is better than Madden 12, therefore it's worth my money. Does it have problems? Yeah and I could make a list. Is it enough to have me complaining or not buying the game at all? Nope. But that's just me personally.

I'm actually excited for madden this year. Hopefully next year it will be even better!

So which Madden is your Madden of choice and why?

Personally I am really excited for this years Madden. The new engine I feel adds a lot and CCM looks like it will add a lot to my gaming experience. I'm bummer we can't edit players but other than that it looks like a fantastic game to me.

Pfft.

Not saying that at all. But a WR hasn't gone number one since 96 I believe so that's unrealistic right there. Secondly as far as a I remember only 2 white WR were drafted in the 1st round in the last 10 years, one of which was QB that was an experiment at WR.

So of course they should be in the game as part of the pre made classes but they should be as rare in the game as they are in real life. The fact is we all watch the games, RB/WR/CB tend to mostly be all black.

O-line, D-line is about 50/50, LB is about 50/50, Safety is mostly black but alot of white guys play it, QB and K/P are mostly white I want these realistic ratios to reflect in the classes the devs make up. I'd love to see more black QBs in the game and even white Rb but since its not happening in the NFL it shouldn't be happening here.

"If its in the game its in the game" remember?

If so then go ahead and keep playing that came and stop coming here to cry about everything (there are threads for that anyway). Also, let me break down White boy Treon Patrick for you. He's 6"4, 230lbs (a BIG receiver), he was the best WR in the SEC and scored 45 career touchdowns while at Florida. He comes into the NFL and runs a 4.34 40 yard dash and has the best hands out of everyone in the draft. You're the Cowboys, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten both have been released and as a result, you have the #1 pick in the draft. Demarco Murray has turned into a stud, Tony Romo is an elite QB, the offensive line is healthy and the defense has been stellar, all that's missing is a potential #1 wide receiver. Now tell me, WHO are you going to draft with that #1 pick? Did that happen in this case? Maybe, maybe not. But it's a plausible situation is it not? A WR has been taken #1 overall in the draft before, it can happen again. Besides, it's just a video game......

If wanting realism from a game that has a slogan that implied that it mimics the NFL makes me boring then I wear that with pride. Last WR was taken number 1 was 1996 so white it has happened, it has not happened in well over a decade.

As far me "crying" dude, it called a forums you do know the purpose of forums right? To express opinions, not only the ones YOU want to hear. As far as the part ab out me having no imagination I take that as a good thing.

I want this to mimic real football as much as humanly possible. Using my imagination just lets the devs off for not doing research into the real demographics and draft history of the NFL.

Stupidest argument ever. IF you said that the panther pass on cam because he's black you might have had some small point but NOBODY is arguing that. My point is that name doesn't fit the player. You can look anywhere and find black people with "white or "normal" names.

You can go to any town in america and find a black person named James Lewis, William Thompson, Andrew Scott etc, but you are going to be hard pressed to find a white kid named Jarmarcus, Vontavious, etc.

You don't see white draft prospects with those kinda names in real life so why insult people's intelligence and have them in this game?
