Thanks for the complement, and I agree with you 100%.

Actually enjoying the gameplay but just wish the defense was fixed in a few areas. Think the pass coverage is a little weak even after adjusting sliders on all madden. Scrambling QB's move really well in this game and it's enjoyable to maneuver but I would like to see LB's and guys in the secondary react to them scrambling instead of waiting for me to cross the line of scrimmage.

Jim Nantz closing comment was that the game was "a tightly contested contest"

Lol

Oh well.

Would I (as a PS3 user) prefer things earlier? Sure, but this is the way Sony releases content. If you're not used to it by now, there's not much else to say.

That's just a catch-all time that they're confident it will be up by, but the update often happens much earlier in the afternoon.

Going to start refreshing the store and using the search at around 3 Central, for this and DuckTales.

Ya I have been good thing I got breaking bad to catch up on. I just hate people that glitch and i do not want to give him a win. I am close to top 100 so don't want a loss that should be a win.

i understand they do it later in the day , but not at friggin 9pm at night. i had figured 5 or 6 eastern at the latest. not 9 eastern.... just a huge let down

Injury, fumble, injury, fumble, injury, injury, fumble, injury, injury, fumble, injury.

Other then that I feel like the game plays amazing compared to past Maddens, and NCAAs.

I played over my lunch. SF VS Ravens. I'm happy with what I played. Game felt better than 13, felt polished and not sure what the guy saying the graphics are bad and mentioning jaggies is all about, I thought it looked awesome on my TV. Faces look good through the helmets, good enough for my tastes. Kaepernick looks like, well Kaepernick. I recognized him instantly. I think the naysayers are not playing the right game, or just have something against madden.

Anyway. Saw some very nice animations and tackles throughout the game. I injured flacco on a play, his arm went down awkward and he was taken out of the game. Nice added touches like that adds to the realism. Nice sideline catches where the receiver trys to stay in bounds, all looks very nice. No hiccups between plays, there was always this weird pause with Madden, but I no longer see that. Graphics look nice. Uniforms, fields, stadiums, sideline action, definitely the most animated Madden I've seen. I will be happy to be getting this in a few weeks.

+ Good looking graphics, clean easy to read stat screens, player models, grass, sideline action etc
+ Very good animations, not as loopy and absurd as we saw in 13. Toned down to make it look much more realistic
+ Running feels wonderful
+ Passing is good for me
+ Good commentary.

- Few clippy animations here and there, but nothing to the point of calling it out.

Truly not anything that stood out for me that is worthy of a major complaint.

Rodgers got injured during a read option play. Not sure Packers ever run the R/O but I enjoyed seeing him get injured when he took a big hit. At least there's some consequences for using the R/O

There's only a very select few QB's in the league that should be running options, and Rodgers is NOT one of them. If QB's ran the option like Kaepernick does, they'd be injured after the first week, or quarter for that matter.

its 6pm eastern 3 pm on west coast so i'll start to d/l it after 3 since im on west coast... 2 gb's shouldn't take that long I just d/led battlefield 3 and it was 2 gb's and that only took like 30 minutes to d/l.

# 257 friscob @ 08/13/13 03:34 PM

CPU is 5 for 5 on field goal attempts over 50 yards so far. Hauschka just made a 61 yarder to end the half against me. His KPW is 94 and he's a pretty good kicker but seeing him kick it from the wrong side of the 50 looked strange lol

Isn't the NFL record like 62?

it's either 62 or 63? By that Saints kicker with the flat foot? (I think)

The Seahawks had the ball with 1:26 left in the half and they tried to score. They did get a FG out of it. Last year, they would have run the ball into the ground. Rodgers doing the belt celebration on a TD throw? He only does it when he runs for a TD. Did like a sack by Nick Perry and he put his finger to his FM. Also, what I liked about the commentary was it was updated. Woodson leaving the Packers was mentioned. Otherwise, seems a bit stale between plays.

Not so much. In a tie ball game vs the Ravens with under 2:00 and the ravens are driving. Keep in my mind we both have all three timeouts left

They get a first down which brings them into the red zone (FG range), so I call a time out with 1:15 left.

Next play, hand off to Rice - (Looking good so far, thinking they want to keep milking the clock until it winds down and kick the winning Fg), So i call a TO with 1:07 to go

Next play they hand off again to Rice, IO go to call another Time Out, but they do right at 1:01 (The magic number from every other madden on this gen).

Next play incomplete pass

Next play Rice Run and they call a time out right away to set up a FG.

They make it bbut leave me about 45 seconds. I return the kick to just over the 50. Three passes later I hit Boldin for a TD and I win

So I am guessing the 1:01 TO is still in as is the poor clock management. play calling wasnt awful, just dumb usage of Time outs
