Madden 13 blows 2/10 would not play

[malik]

am i the only one who cant pass for poo? it takes like 4 seconds for a play to develop but i only had 2 to throw. It seems like the panthers oline is made out of tin foil.

Two things really annoyed me, Silatolu having an animal in his helmet and career mode. Played as Cam and during the first practice I noticed that the GM had signed Cedric Benson. So basically a backfield of Williams, Stewart, Benson and Tolbert.

Sounds like they got the Panthers FO down to a T

This guy^

If you thought I was bragging or something about a video game, well, that's just sad. All Madden used to kick my ass in years past, but this year its easy as poo. Just seeing if anyone had the same issue.

Potentially even worse however, you "this guy'ing" someone about a video game.

Career/coach mode is really confusing. The stats of everyone changes once in that mode. Like D-Lo drops to worse ratings than Josh Vaughan, and Armanti gets raised to the #2 receiver...

And I've been trying out different positions on career mode, and it ALWAYS auto signs Cedrick Benson, Ryan Grant, Isaac Redman, or two of the above.

I'm holding off on franchise mode till the next update. Tried playing player career mode as a WR and who would have guessed, we signed Grant and Redman at RB and James Farrior at MLB. I'm hoping they adjust the GM tendencies, this is the first Madden I've bought in years and love the gameplay, just not the franchise mode.

if you are talking about online play, I've found a site that shows you how to get a sack almost every down on defense. I was wondering how people did that poo. they could get in the backfield about as Cam was on his third drop step and I couldn't even get past the o-line against them. It's ridiculous people have to resort to using exploits and I quit playing online against people I don't know because of this. But, I do like this game. I didn't play Madden 12, but it's way better then Madden 11 imho.

so friend brought it over today .. played a game on all pro with 7 mins qtrs.. he was beating me 42-0 going into the 4th with the 49ers and i subbed in clausen and poole for the lols and put Munnerlyn at KR,PR, and 1st Cb.. Ran back a kick , 2 punts , intercepted 2 and ran 1 back .. and went perfect with clausen with a long td to smith and got a td with poole and kicked a few FG's and ended up taking the lead back and winning 55-45 .. seems legit :rolleyes:

Yeah, James Farrior always gets signed too. And some no name punter.

I really liked the Madden 11 franchise mode. I didn't get 12, but 13's franchise mode isn't fun as of now.

And the career mode is kinda lame. You can't be a Carolina RB, because you start behind J-Stew, Josh Vaughan, and D-Lo, and then they sign one or two of Benson, Grant, Redman.

I also wish you could control receivers as a QB in career mode. I hit a wide open receiver, then he'll run straight towards the defenders and doesn't attempt to make moves. It's frustrating.

Some guy called a fair catch, and somehow returned it anyways. Wtffff Madden!?

[stankowalski]

This is probably the worst Madden in terms of bugs and glitches that I've ever played. Haven't bought the last 4 or so, but before that I bought Madden just about every year.

[malik]

the physics are terrible and its 2012 and still no gang tackle xD

panthers uniforms are fugED up OMG

Still haven't played online which used to be my staple, but I'm kind of weary of it at this point as I've seen way too many problems with the game itself just in playing CC mode.

BTW, CC mode is horribly flawed. I initially started with a RB who was undrafted to make my own underdog story... Big mistake. They signed Ryan Grant and traded for Issac Redman all while keeping DWill and Stew to back those two bums up. I only got to return kicks and punts. I had several TDs and never even moved up the depth chart... Yet, it kept giving me the goal of 500 yards in a season rushing... SMH... Hard to do that when you can't get on the field. It's stupid, the goals don't adjust to your specific situation.

So, then I made a CB, a first-rounder with prototype skills. Horrible. I've played 12 weeks and no INTs. I've caused 3 fumbles and am still on my way to the pro bowl, but it's so boring. To complicate the matter, we're like 6-5 or something like that right now because yet again, the stupid CPU signed Ryan Grant's slow ass to be the starter and DWill and Stew have NO carries through 12 weeks. Guess what that means for our offense... It's ranked 32nd in the league, which is part of the reason I have no INTs because the CPU is never forced to throw it. It's so frustrating.

I'm just not comfortable with taking it online as-is, especially considering EA's lazy cans still haven't updated the rosters. I'm not going into a game with Mare as my kicker.

Well thank god I held off on this purchase.
