I cannot blame EA Sports for this years Madden. I have to point the blame to the public, to the gamers- it's your FAULT.
The visuals are THE ONE THING that stand out. Even though the game at times seems to be cartoonish, it looks amazing. The visuals are definitely unique and quite stunning. Then all of a sudden you see your players flailing around and their arms in positions they shouldn't be in and body positions that are just not capable of normal human beings. Is this really Madden?
Usually, 70% of America will buy NCAA to get a somewhat demo of what to expect from it's pro-form brother. I can attest that this year I was excited by the college option, but in regards to the professional outing I am left with an incomplete feeling and $65 wasted. With as popular as fantasy football is today EA removes the entire mode and goes with Connected Careers? WHAT?! WTF?!!!! WHY?!!! If want to draft Kendric Burney and play him on my team because I followed him in college and make him out to be a star in the pros- I SHOULD HAVE THAT RIGHT! I don't think because EA says we connect the virtual player to the real player and they play as in real life... IF this is the case then Blaine Gabbert will be running for his life EVERY down because his entire offensive line never blocked for him once- and there hasn't been much difference since last year on that. As a Panther fan being from NC, I am scoped about Newton, DeAngelo, and Stewart; until I realize that neither of them can get out the backfield and gain 4yrds because NFL defensive linemen ALL run 4.5 40 yrd dashes! I am very much hurt by this years Madden. It just doesn't cut it during a year that it should have. The ONLY logical explanation that EA could have is they tried to listen to the fans and change things and LOOK what you guys have caused!!! Let's be real, don't cry for 2K Football either because it has ALWAYS been about Madden. I need the ability to draft from NCAA into Madden and I want to modify my players. If I want Jimmy Whoever from Podunk University to win the Heisman and go into the NFL and win the MVP and Super Bowl- I SHOULD HAVE THAT RIGHT. It's been, "IN THE GAME." So I need EA Sports to put it back. Man... I wish they just had redone Madden 09 with updated rosters!!! Even Madden 10... Madden 13 is garbage and unbelievable. I just spent $65 on NFL Blitz disguised as Madden
