The last sentence sums up the biggest issue with madden. I want to like cm, I really do. However, when every other company is pushing customization, madden gives us the "we know best routine.". I just don't get it. Madden got so much praise last year for full editing and then this year... 100% gone.Originally Posted by Rudy
I posted some ideas for advanced sliders for Madden (and NCAA). Vote them up here on EA's site: http://www.easports.com/gamechangers...vanced+Sliders
Rudy, check your link. It goes to a search rather than to your post.

It works for me on FF but you are now the second person to say this. I've clicked on other people's links and it hasn't worked for me either. I'm guessing it only works for me because I've been there and it's in my cache? I wonder what's wrong?

Zoom camera video from retail. Definitely not for me but some may like it. Apparently you can't use it in CCM. What the heck?

Wow visually that looks great but would be very very difficult to play on IMO.
I like how loud the crowd is.
I've been an NCAA guy for a long time but this looks nice. My question is, some say there isn't much to a franchise mode. I had madden back around 2004 or so and you could play an offline mode that let you set ticket prices, drink prices, and then coach the team of your choice. Similar to dynasty mode on NCAA. Is this an option on Madden? Or is it only an online feature? If it is only an online feature can you play in an "online dynasty" by yourself or does it require multiple users?
I'm all about playing other users but sometimes I'd just like to play the CPU and work towards the super bowl.
Thanks for any info.
Yes you can play as a single user only connected career online or offline in M13.
I don't care for the so called zoom camera view looks more like ground level view than zoomed in. I wish the zoomed view would have been last gen's Madden default camera that was perfect IMO.
I would like to have the zoom camera on run plays and then the regular camera for pass plays. A hybrid option would be great IMO.
That was the old owner mode back on the PS2. That was fun but that doesn't exist in the PS3/360 versions. I don't think there are many off field options. EA stripped down some features this year but the draft and free agency look cool. All of the options are available either offline or online this year.
If you play franchise (aka connected careers) basically a lot of the stuff SINGLE PLAYER OFFLINE GAMERS liked to do is now gone. Just remember you can no longer:
1. Edit names, numbers, equipment
2. Editi ratings, rookies, etc.
3. Play/watch any game on the schedule
4. change thhe cpu uniforms in CCM
5. change player positions (hence in you change scheme from 3-4 to 4-3 your player ratings will be impacted
6. removal of coaching contracts
7. removal of coordinators
8. removal of NCAA imported draft classes
9. no return of the extra point (which was removed in MADDEN 12... to make it better... but it's not back...)
10. controlling of multiple teams in CCM
11. no ability to use a custom playbook in CCM
12. no using custom rosters
However, they have added a more interesting form of scouting, new free agency, a really interactive draft, fake twitter feeds, an XP progression system, and the ability to play as a coach or player and switch at any point (but if you create yourself and switch to someone else, your made up player is retired). Physics is also in the game but it's 50/50 depending on who you ask as to it's impact. Everything else gameplay wise is pretty much the same~ Madden is Madden. If you love offline you may be dissapointed but if you love online you are probably over the moon for this game.
I don't know. I would think the link should look more like this: http://mgi-gc.easports.com/a/dtd/Nep...!/148459-18503
But I don't think that site is really designed for links anyway. The UI just isn't set up for links to be passed.

Pretty solid article regarding my feelings toward them catering to one side and needing two different games sort of speak.
Sorry if I'm behind on the times, but I just read you can use old school playbooks in Madden 13, one of which is the Bill Walsh PB. This is a pretty cool feature.
I played using VERY SLOW tonight. I pretty much exclusively use SLOW but I wanted to try something different. I hated it at first but by the end of the game I convinced myself that very slow is the way to play. Plays develop more naturally and you can see everything unfolding in front of you. It also helps in keeping the scoores down so games "feel" more defensive. I would recommend people give it a try.
I've jumped on the Very Slow train this year myself for the first time. I like it better.
I wish I would have seen this tip on juking last year. Apparently the juke works better when you cover up the ball. That's tough on the fingers to hit R1 and then r-stick. Going to have to try this on the M13 demo. Juke is better this year but this may bring it back to old school effectiveness.
Amazing link from OS with regards to all the playbooks. Personally when Season pass releases, I will be running with Tom Landry's playbook.

That's cool but I notice they have the Dolphins running the 3-4 as their defense and I'm guessing Cam Wake will be listed at OLB. That's wrong. They have moved to the 4-3 this year although they may still show some 3-4 looks. At the very least it should be a hybrid but the 4-3 should be the base. I can live with this because I love the 3-4 but it's inaccurate.
