I've got 13 as a MAJOR win for the Hardcore, I don't know about ya'll.

Infinity Engine
No super lbs/psychic db's
Read and React
Pass Trajectories
Connected Careers
Nantz and Simms-could be considered casual by some, to me it's for the hardcore because it adds to the experience making it more like Sundays.

Re: Breaking Down Madden: Core Experience and Audience

Interesting article there. I would probably fall in the middle between casual and hardcore.

I do not have the time to perfect a game like I once did. I do however like the smaller details that take a lot of time outside of the game like setting my team up and stuff like that. Some features I've liked and some I've hated in previous years.

GAMEFLOW I sort of liked because I could just play with whatever the coach called. Sometimes I would audible out of the play but for the most part I just ran with it.

This new infinity engine looks nice in the retail version and CCM looks fun too. Really excited to check them out. Hopefully they deliver or I will be trading my game in pretty quickly.

Good Article. One question is did EA ever take advantage of Tuner Sets in Madden 12?

So do you guys see Madden 13 as breaking the trend in this chart and being more for the hardcore or do you think it's more for the casual?

Game. Set. Match.

Perhaps one of the most infuriating issues most hardcore fans came across in Madden 12.

I never saw a thing about the game being tuned. Ever.
