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?

Oh by all means, say what you want, I could really care less, just know that I'm always gonna call someone out. That's what I do when someone criticizes something I'm starting to like. And anyway, I'll say it again, just because it happened a decade ago doesn't mean it can't happen again. A QB threw for 5000 yards ONCE in 20+ years, but in ONE year three people already surpassed it (two of them were extremely close). Now had this happen in a game, you'd be complaining "But blah blah blah not that many QBs would ever throw for 5000 yards in one year blah blah blah" that's how it is, the NFL is always changing.

I will say this again, if you want "realism" then play Madden 12 (if you can deal with those terrible imports and Chris Collinsworth) if you want a good draft class that's immersive then play Madden 13. OR you can go way back and play Madden 07 (the best Madden before 13 came out). Either way, beating a dead horse won't solve anything.

Perhaps we feel uncomfortable because that is what we have been culturally trained to accept. I am inclined, then, to believe that if it makes me feel weird, it is my own problem, and not some arbitrary video game.

Did you skip over your user-pick?

I was curious to see what the interface was like for the user draft selection.

# 188 Aggies7 @ 08/20/12 11:15 AM

Enough with the race talk. Leave it alone. One more post about that crap and whole thread gets shut down.

# 189 mwjr @ 08/20/12 12:40 PM

Holy hell. What happened to Romoe Crenell's neck?

# 190 edjames01 @ 08/20/12 12:59 PM

I only wish that they could have implemented a draft interface that was identical to Head Coach 09. Is there a better draft in the history of sports video games?

It would also be nice if they also had scouting for the Senior Bowl, Combine, Pro Days and Individual Workouts.

These would be great! I would love to be able to run practice the week of the senior bowl in order to evaluate players. Seeing the combine or even participating in it would be cool too.

# 192 SickDL @ 08/20/12 01:16 PM

the draft looks really coolin madden 13. an improvement over madden 12. the hole CC is looking pretty nice. really exited to play it

# 193 FAM CEO @ 08/20/12 01:50 PM

This is great!...Another thing to get excited about CC. Scouting and Draft prep will be all more interesting this year. I feel like this is the first year, where I will actually play preseason, practice, and scout, and feel that they all will provide some sort of reward. Great Job EA!

I agree folks have been asking for this for years. I would love the opportunity to actually get to use the incoming rookies before the draft.

# 195 Trilluminary @ 08/20/12 02:45 PM

lol they had a combine/ pro day in madden 94 or 95. ea hates us

Beating a dead horse doesn't solve anything and neither does blind support for EA sports.

It' doesn't "make me feel weird" because of some deep and longstanding cultural training. It makes me feel weird because its inaccurate from a game that claims as implied by their official slogan to be accurate.

# 198 mwjr @ 08/20/12 04:13 PM

What exactly is happening at the beginning of that video, with the grades being revealed? Is that the new scouting feature? How does that work?

In HC09, you just picked the players to scout instead of seeing any action. That would be AMAZING to see them in action though.
