Madden NFL 13 Demo Impressions & Feedback Thread

[jaymo76]

There are certainly omissions from this new franchise mode that bother people to varying degrees but I am interested in the new scouting system and the new FA system. Last year's FA e-bay system was a huge disappointment to me. So was the scouting as it did very little to help you and you got NO basic info like 40 times that all GMs should have available. I felt scouting was a complete waste of time and that hurt the draft. Plus, the few kids I was able to scout for true ratings always ended up with worse ratings than projected. It just seemed like almost every first rounder was worse than what they said while there were quite a few gems in the 3rd and 4th round. I honestly felt I should just trade down last year and acquire a ton of mid round picks because my 3rd round pick was just as good as my first rounder.

I have read almost no info on the new FA system other than it is a recruiting style bidding system. Nobody has said if it works well or not. They are having one final community day to test the new CCM mode so maybe we'll get more soon.

Here is an upload from Tradition... it's MOST of the draft. I haven't watched it all but you get the idea.
