Madden NFL 13 delivers world-class presentation with an all-new living front end, dynamic in-game transitions, a live ticker, and drastically improved usability. Every game has the feel of a nationally televised broadcast with CBS Sports commentators Jim Nantz and Phil Simms calling the action from the virtual 3D booth.
The player models loook a lot bigger and lifelike, I like a lot.
And the QB drop backs look way better, I liked the Drew Brees clips, that looked real.
It looks good for sure.....so hard to tell though because of the way they cut these trailers and the angles they show. I tried to pick up if locomotion has changed. I couldn't get a great read on it. Did anybody see skating issues?
Get rid of that QB sliding and the patty cake animation between the DE & OT. If they can tune that out, game would be excellent. Can't believe they actually have the weekend at bernie's dance in the game. I wish NCAA had dancing celebrations.
I really liked what I saw with the exception of one thing. There is still too much sliding going on. I hope they can tune it up a little before August. However, I don't expect anything earth shattering. I think its pretty much a forgone conclusion that this issue will not be totally fixed until next-gen. (if then) So its pretty much live with it, or don't.
What I did like was the new pass trajectories. This is something I hammered home in a piece I did for OS a few months ago. I think this can be a real game changer.
I also really liked the new catch animations. I think they will bring a lot to making the gameplay less repetitive.
I also saw some nice foot planting animations. Maybe not much in this trailer, but in the live broadcast they did. Receivers didn't cut on a dime and neither did the defenders.
I am sure there will still be legacy issues. I know they said they are working on line play. I will pretty much take anything I can get from that. lol
I really think this could be a great year for Madden and NCAA.
My only thing is that we only get 2 see the commentators during pregame
I would like 2 see them during timeouts, quick shot of them when stat banners pop up just so we know their still there !
Come on bro! Yo know EA is known for having just 2-3 cutscene anyway.Your idea of having them be seen more I do agree with.It wont happen though.Lets just prey they talk about teams around the league.
I like the improvement they are making in the presentation aspects--they have struggled for so long and I honestly don't understand why. But the game itself looks fairly bad to me and I can't quite put my finger on it. To me the graphics actually look worse in most of shots. The animations and sliding look horrendous.
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. I'm not sure. I'll reserve judgment until say June or July. Haven't purchased Madden since '10 so one of these years it has to be worth it (or not?).

Agree 100%
It almost looked worst then last year.. I just don't get it?? As far as some of the new presentation additions which are nice to see, gameplay is just not very good.. It's just plain disappointing if you ask me.. wow..
