Gaming Madden 13

Not a worry. Plug BigFooty in return

Thanks Chief, and yes, numerous MB members are now also BF members! Woodson 's AE comp has especially been a big lure!

 

[Woodson]

Chief should be grateful of the AE.

guys, I need your opinions. Can't decide between NCAA 13 or Madden 13. Madden looks the better game but I can preorder NCAA 13 much cheaper. Is there much of a difference on gameplay or is it worth the cheap option? Also if anyone can answer this yet, does anyone know what the off field stuff is like on NCAA, like cheerleaders, bands ,mascots etc?

 

[Dirty Bird]

If you prefer offline play - Go NCAA 13............Though, if you just compete with the Ducks, it could get boring, I say go NCAA because if you're really good you can just challange yourself and build up a UMass or UTSA or something.
If you prefer online play - Go Madden 13

 

[tb_fanboy]

Thanks, offline-online doesn't matter. I'll go NCAA as it's the cheaper one and even if I had Madden I'd probably end up just competing with Denver anyway.

I hope they fix the ridiculous weather dynamics in this game.

Watching every single ball sail out of the endzone/out of bounds when throwing deep with a wind, and seeing offensive players fall over running routes in the show whilst defensive players make leaping one handed interceptions is beyond dull.

Two things that make me excited;

Well, so much for NCAA 13 considering they aren't releasing in PAL for all us xbox owners. Madden it is.

NCAA has never been made for PAL (because of licensing issues or something). Its the sole reason I bought a PS3

Been looking on forums and looks like the Connected Careers mode has a few bugs that will be patched soon hopefully, so im gonna wait a few weeks or months and wait to see if stuff gets fixed before i buy it as the last two Maddens have had shit loads of bugs in franchise mode in particular to the extent I cant play it.

Yeah I've been reading about them on OperationSports. It's pretty disheartening, especially regarding the problems with difficulty levels. I'm still going to get it this week though. I just can't help myself haha. Hopefully everyone is just exaggerating....

As a casual player I don't get too worried about reports like this because it's mostly people without lives that play these games in 90% of there spare time and are ultra critical of everything just for the sake it.

Cue GG

Sports games are so realistic these days the bugs shouldn't be bugging anyone. In franchise mode I plan on playing Peyton 3 years then once retired trading a second string QB for a fully developed Andrew Luck because the game will probably let me. Now don't you tell me that's not realistic...

Add me on 360, Blonde Mullet is the gamertag

It would seem plausible if you were trading with the redskins.

NCAA used to be released on the original XBOX.. played it over many seasons

Anyone managed to spot it in shops early?

Do you think a store would be dumb enough to do that considering they'd get large fines?

 

[matt_897]

It has happened for some games before.

As has been said, it's happened before. It's not like it's FIFA either, you wonder if it'd even be noticed.

 

[Dirty Bird]

It has happened for some games before.

And I'm willing to bet that it was due to one of 2 reasons.
1) It was a moron who put what stock he had out on the shop floor without checking when he was allowed to.
or
2) It was a game anticipated to get huge sales and what they could sell before someone else can get it out to sell would outdo the fine they'd get.

Madden isn't big enough for #2 to come into effect, so you just need to sit back and relax and hope like hell there's someone just dumb enough out there to not read his instructions.

Also: Individual stores in large chains will only get the stock the day before release. EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, etc. They'll have it in warehouses and it would be distributed today. BTW - deliveries would probably happen this afternoon outside of their 'peak hours' around lunch. They probably wont hit the stores for another 2 or 3 hours.
