Gaming Madden 13

[twarby]

it takes one shop to release it early, and then others can, pretty sure it will usually be a department store as they will just put it on the shelf when it comes in.

 

[sblack]

Buy it online >>>

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Anyone managed to spot it in shops early?

I dropped by JB today and not out until tomorrow. They've been known to put the game out a day or two early in the past but I spose not this this time... yet again DB comes in and acts like such a douche bag for such a trivial question.

 

[Hybridize]

Definitely picking it up at work tomorrow then! So excited

 

[Blacky]

I wonder how long I will be able to resist....

 

[tb_fanboy]

Mine comes in postage in a week but I only paid 60$ so I don't mind.

We should make an online Connected Careers mode.
I like how some can be coaches and some can just be players in the same comp.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Lag in online play pissing me off.

 

[aussiedude]

is it worth getting? or is it as bad as the demo and as bad as people on OS are saying? because the demo sold me on giving this a miss for the moment.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I actually enjoy the gameplay (not as much as NCAA 13 though)
Will need time to work through the connected careers part. Still don't have the head completely around it.

If you just want to play matches vs people, I'd recommend it.
But if you want to be in a league, I'll wait a while to make judgement on that.

 

[aussiedude]

if gameplay isnt as good as NCAA ill skip it till i get bored with NCAA and other games. but everything i hear about CCM is disappointing. might wait till its under $50

 

[Starburns_]

So far, so good.......now to make Tebow a HOFer.

 

[Hybridize]

Just got home and about to play it. Pretty keen to give solo connected careers ago!

 

[TheLad!]

enjoying it so far, its not too easy which is a bonus - but is it just me or are the graphics just a touch worse than 11 - *the last one i bought

 

[larkis]

Purchased it, started a solo career with SJax (would of been fun with Faulk though except I can't till September ...) and damn I struggled against the Rams practice squad. Not looking forward to the Rams passing attack this season after playing madden ...

 

[Dirty Bird]

I'm 5 plays into the game, and I get the message
"Attention, your peer has been kicked for excessive grieving." WTF?

Means they haven't been pressing any buttons/moving themselves.

 

[Starburns_]

WTF does that even mean?

EDIT:

Wow, nice hissy fit.

Is it just me or it plays a lot differently now with the new engine. Just seems like there is a lot of lag between your controls and in the game during single player. Given up running the ball unless it's to the outside or it could be my rusty lack of skill. Hate the new XP based system as well. Giving this game one chance this weekend till I return it to EB for Guild Wars 2.

Madden 12 is better this one is boring and dull just does nothing for me

franchise mode is terrible now players rarely progress & cant even get proper NCAA rookies in the game.

Sucks about the lag - fortunately I haven't experienced any lag yet in solo online CCM (but I haven't played a whole heap). I also like the XP system much more than the past potential system since now players aren't limited by some arbitrary cap on their ratings. Depends entirely on how they perform instead.

Hi folks,
Well, Madden 13 is out - woot!
www.maddenblokes.com has already got one full 32-person online CC/Franchise in the works, and we're now putting together a second one.
Brief details; coach only, sim style gameplay (no cheese/glitching allowed), 8 min qtrs on All Pro.
If you're interested, come register and say hi!

 

[larkis]

Semi interested but probably banned with a few older BF regulars coming back.

Anywho anyone interested in Madden Ultimate Team this year. Got a 93 overall team (went crazy with cards) but I am tempted to return the game at the moment.

 

[Shade]

Returned my copy of madden 13 i didnt really like it at all tbh so hard to get in to it

ill stick with madden 12

Anyone want to split a digital download with me? Apparently you can buy the game for $60 from the US PSN store and you get 2 downloads - so I figure 2 people, $30 each and we both get the game for half price
