@Flamerdragon I saw my friend hook up a usb keyboard to his ps3, go into a web browser, open up his email, and send one. You are right.... totally different... almost like Dogs and Wolves!
Hey, I'll be right back, im going to log into my xbox 360 and post to my FB account and upload a picture that I have connected via media sharing to a Network Drive that my xbox see's.... pesky Consoles, always trying to pretend to be more than gaming consoles!
Not if you run virtualized environments and have servers that would use that ram. I myself have a few Servers running, and Iallocate 16Gb to a SQL 2012 Server on my system all on its own. You may not find a reason to have it... but not everyone uses their home PC's the same way.
I also have an Exchange Server-SCCM-Server- Two Domain Controllers that I practice DNS Zone transfers on as well as AD migrations, and sometimes I'd like to play BF3 without having to close all that shiz! Oh yeah, and I work in IT so these things support what I do for a living, and my career growth, so its not a waste.
I actually defended this game because I had played a game before hand and thought that this game was not madden 2012, and therefor the improvements seemed "nicer" then they really were. Because it feels different, just enough, it makes it feel fresh, but that is really not true, the more you play, the more game breaking bugs present themselves... Horrible DB AI, and them running half speed and allowing long play after long play.... they also bump in run without you asking them to, and get beat horribly fast and give up long plays... The Running game is NOT improved! They dynamic player interactions actually take away from the game because now, the slightest bump from your own teammate sends you running crossways with the ball dangling from 1 extended arm with it behind his back at some point chooses to act like this was a game of ping pong instead of realistic simulation football... this game is bad... Its just different bad... Any pleasure you get from this game is because you like football that much... I can not play this game without at least 10-15 game breaking issues surfacing that suspends belief at the highest a simulation title possibly could without being sued for fraud!
PS... play a LE/RE for 1 full game and see how many time your character end up on his face or azz for NO FREAKING reason, I mean instantly engaging with the OL sends the DE into a free falling animation as if Orlando Pace and Toney Boselli's baby on steroids was not the rated 81 Tackles that handle user controled DE's like they were test crash dummies.
I really went in objective and hoping they could improve the talent enough, that old engine that is still dangling from this years change looks just as bad now as it did the last 6 years
Madden has been trash for quite a while for true football sim heads... We all long for the days of NFL 2k5, but until the monopoly is revoked, we've had to deal with uninspiring unrealistic football by EA, that put all its eggs into branding, and not actual game play and realistic and evolutionary tech... Madden has disappointed me year after year... But I saw Madden 12 stepping in the right direction. (still was not worth me keeping for more than 3 weeks before i returned it) I've played Madden 13....AND ITS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO LAST YEARS GAME IN EVERY FACET. I KNOW GAMESPOT USUALLY RANKS HARSH.. BUT WTF IS THIS?!.. THIS GAME IS NOT A 7.5 AND I HATE EA WITH A PASSION. This game is MUCH more polished and less annoying and vibrant. The game play is much better... do not be turned off of giving this game a chance by this review. It is much closer to the IGN 9.0 then this 7.5 and I generally feel IGN gives games way higher ratings then they should, but then again F* Ratings, and in this case it does nothing to show the improvement Madden 13 is over all the other steaming piles of madden since the mid 2000's
