I think when the poll was taken down, the average+bad was at 40%. That doesn't seem like encouraging numbers to me.

Definitely fiction.

Polls doesn't matter to them, only sales. Point blank!!!......Money talk and BS walks. FACT

After playing this game for the past week, ign's high review really seems questionable. There are so many problems with this game not mentioned in their review, and the missing features hit hard man.

The only thing that REALLY irritates me is EVERY YEAR since about Madden 09, they have said 'We didn't do everything we wanted to with this version, but we've laid the groundwork to improve it and get it just the way we want it next year'... then the following year, they completely revamp the damn game again, and say the same thing. When are we going to get a FINISHED game? I'm damn sure PAYING for a finished game every year, when am I going to get one? Oh you didn't have time to include things that EVERYONE wanted this year? Well what am I paying for?

That being said, Madden 13 is.... well, it's okay. I'd give it a 5/10. I like playing the game, but there are countless things about the menus, features, and gameplay that annoy me to the point where I just want to turn it off and not even look at it ever again. All things that have been brought up countless times on OS and on twitter to some of the Dev's.

I can't wait until next year when Connected Careers is in the garbage bin, replaced with some other gimmicky crap that doesn't function properly, just so I can be told that the NEW system is 'the foundation of a fantastic game'.

I'm tired of playing foundations.

FACT! the last dev team did a terrible job with madden and this team decided to go in a true new direction. To do that you have to start from scratch sometimes, so the exclusion of coach mode(btw ive never even used this mode but jayson mentioned it was misiing also there are custom playbooks and gameplans), edit rosters and fantasy draft are understandable to me anyway. I want them to get the infinity engine right and jump off the new modes and there presentation at some point you have to lay a platform to build upon. If they ave you edit rosters and fantasy draft but it was sloppy and done wrong youd be more pissed about it than you are that its not in the game. so the question is the game for real? not is it on par with the best of the best.
Again i say fact the connected carerrs is great i love the xp i love the news feed and the twitter. The free agency is better and so is the draft. I like alot about this game its way better than 12. Honestly i had twelve for 3 days before i had a reasonable complaint....madden 13 i still dont have one because im realistic. NO game is perfect none and they all started somewhere, the infinity engine is great it looks like crap at times but so did 2k's animations at one time the show wasnt always the greatest and nhl had to start over at one point. This is the game people are going to look back on and say changed madden for the better!

Now the dev team can work on getting the kinks out of the infinity engine also implementing key features to offline connected careers which i miss and cant wait for....its been said time and time again its not a perfect game but its leaps and bounds over its predecessor and i dont mean just I.E. i mean connected acreers i can see myself playin a coach career to the end now thanks to the xp and the abitlity to make what players i want to progress!

Whatever u say, buddy...

Try this: I watched the CPU play against itself in "broadcast" view. Pretty cool. Steelers and Broncos, to get a glimpse of this Sunday night's game. Bronco's were up 10-0 at the start of the 4th quarter, and then Rothlesberger started to pull the team in the red zone, but something happened: the game froze. One of the players got tackled and started twitching. Man, I was so pissed! But yeah, watching in broadcast view, you really get to see how good it looks, but also notice the glaring glitches.
