Five Things EA Sports must do for Success in Madden NFL 13

01:22 PM - January 25, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Ever since Madden landed on next-gen consoles, there has been a plethora of issues that seem to go unfixed every year. As gamers, we cannot seem to get an answer one way or another as to why these issues persist -- Is it just not possible to fix these issues given with what the developers have to work with? No matter the answer, the issues remain. With Madden 13 possibly being the last Madden to be exclusively on the current-gen systems, will we see some of the fixes we have been clamoring for, or do we simply have to put this generation behind us and hope for best on the upcoming new systems?

Without further adieu, here is the top five fixes EA must make for Madden NFL 13.

Another thing I'd love to start seeing is guys with full sleeves finally have some sort of tattoo animation. It's strange looking at guys like Aaron Hernandez and seeing no artwork, and having a completely default look.

I've read that the exclusivity deal is through 2013. Wouldn't that mean Madden 14 would be the last of the deal, not 13?

^^^

That is true, a deal hasn't been made public at this time, either.

The problem is not so much the lack of animations.. it's that their is no fluidity between the animations.

Warping - remove it 2. Fix the Finess move DEs 3. Ball physics 4. Less frequent interceptions 5. Export roster files from online franchise

I,'de settle for sliders and tuner updates....

You kn ow those things they added this year but never did anything with, not ONE single update....What a travesty.

Commentary overhaul, tweaked gameplay (be nice to have passing trajectory fixed) are the two things I'm looking for in Madden 2013. I'll still purchase the game and play it but if those two things are emphasized I'll play Madden for a while and not just a month like I have in recent years.

# 73 truintellectplaya @ 01/26/12 02:50 PM

Madden needs to do what Live is doing but never will because of that exclusive. End of story. Everything they do will be a fraud to make you believe they are trying to get better.

# 74 mwjr @ 01/26/12 02:55 PM

It's "ado."

*sigh*

# 75 phant030 @ 01/26/12 03:02 PM

Here are some non lob touch passes...sorry for the quality. Demonstrating touch pass over defenders...no super jumps. No over lobbing of the ball.

# 76 at23steelers @ 01/26/12 03:06 PM

When do WR's ever leap for balls in Madden? It's just the same catch animations over and over again. When do WR's ever leap out and catch the ball? It's almost like their glued to the football field and can only make 5 catches from that position. Not to mention, how many people get annoyed when they try to catch a pass 1 handed, and totally fail at it. Have you ever seen in Madden where a WR jumps to the ground, and you're not sure whether or not he maintained possession through the catch because it might've hit the ground? No of course not! The only thing in Madden is like a jump ball with a CB. The QB can't just throw a pass to where the CB can't make a play on it. This is also due to sliding where anyone can go anywhere on the field in a matter of seconds. If they actually planted their feet this would immensely help. It's just a combination of things that make passing and catching feel bland and unrealistic.

i wish they bring back the old franchise where you could set ticket prices, food and drink prices, little things like that made it feel more in-depth

# 78 TDKing @ 01/26/12 03:50 PM

Commentary.... All players have names use them ! I want to hear the players name who made the catch, made the tackle, got the sack and how many yards gained/lost etc... on every play. Listen to a real broadcast then replicate

Throw a high pass to a stationary receiver and he jumps. Conversely, if you throw the ball low the receiver will go down to get it. Also, sliding all over the field in a matter of seconds? Huh? I've never seen a player slide more than 2-yards in any direction and even then it's once or twice a game MAX. That said, I never touch sliders for any reason. I play the game as the devs intended without tinkering with the internal logic using the thousands of possible slider combinations that interfere with how the game ships. Later

Ok, I will try and explain it better. WR's can jump vertically, but they can't outstretch their arms if throw is towards the sideline. Also, there is no fighting for position. There's no leverage or anything. All it is, is like I said before: a jump ball with no contact between the WR or DB. There's no fighting to get into position. It's either you jump infront or behind, but there isn't a battle. I have seen before plays where my WR should have made the catch but the DB slides forward with footplanting and gets there a few seconds earlier.

When have you ever seen a play like this in Madden?
