A future Miami Dolphin!
That's my son Carter after picking up his pads on Saturday. His practices will probably start soon. It's his first year playing and he'll be very green. Just wanted to post it here.
Thanks for sharing Rudy. That's awesome. I wish your son the best of luck. I was lucky that when I played football as a kid I was "drafted" by my community team which just so happened to be called the Raiders. I would love to put my boys in football but the wife is opposed... it guess it will be soccer and baseball.
We have to drive almost 45 minutes each way to practice and games so we will see how he likes it. We signed him up in a smaller league for a number of reasons but he's also in a 3 year grouping (due to smaller size of league) and is the youngest year so I hope he doesn't get pushed around too much.
Yeah I was in the two year groupings BUT in that first year I took a real beating. It surprising how much one year makes. I found though that the practices were worse than the games. One of my coaches was far too intense (he was eventually removed from coaching...). The first 20 mins of each practice was hit and take a hit. I was only 10 at the time but after each practice my arms/shoulders were black and blue. The next day at school I would have difficulty lifting my pen. But another year I had a coach who was awesome and just wanted us to have fun and develop as players. The coach makes a huge difference on the love of the sport IMO.Originally Posted by Rudy
This league is all about fun and giving kids a chance to play. That's why he's in it and not the main Windsor league. The other league had 7 year olds practicing 5 times a week plus a game in the playoffs. They also only had 6 snap minimums for playing time so some kids barely played. This league broke away (only it's second year now) because the convenor had coached in that league for 5 years and had grown tired of the way kids were treated and how the emphasis was all about winning for young kids. They have rules forcing more balanced playing time and practice limits. Kids don't go more than 3 times a week total and that includes games at his age level.
I only played two years in high school. Never played as a kid growing up. Totally different ball game.
Cool picture but please tell me that is not the helmet he will be playing with? That thing will get knocked into the stands the first time he hits someone.
It is his helmet. It actually fits pretty snug. We'll see lol.
Back to Madden news, Shop and Madsci will be releasing a lot of info this week. New video.
Shop with an article on the new menu system. Nothing terribly exciting here although the camera options are Standard, Zoom, Broadcast and Legacy. I guess Wide is gone for Legacy which I'm guessing is M13's default camera? Shop didn't know.

The pre-game seems pretty decent. I like the new sideline reporter bit. I'm not sure how detailed it will be during the season but I look forward to finding out. I love how Madden does the starting lineups. I really wish NCAA would add that type of detail. Commentary sounds similar to last year but somewhat enhanced.
Gameplay looks similar to NCAA. I am willing to bet that defense will be very soft this year, much like NCAA. Just based on the gameplay videos we have seen, the D has NOT stood out.
I'm not that observant to be able to judge how the Defense is going to play from these videos. Usually they are watered down on the easiest settings just trying to show things.
I'll have to see from Season Pass how it will play. Even the demo won't tell me because playing against the CPU is almost pointless. Everything they do seemingly works lol
They added an All-Madden team playable in Play Now only. Virtual Madden is on the sidelines.
As for defense, I will reserve judgment until I see gameplay on All-Pro or All-Madden. I think Madden did a better job of balancing the passing game last year. In years past I always relied on my TE and slot WR far too much and my outside WRs didn't get enough balls. That wasn't the case in M13 but did seem the case in the NCAA 14 demo.

LMAO a pre-season game in Antarctica (-5 F) in August. Great attention to detail EA Tiburon, not.
The gameplay looks similar to NCAA 14 which I didn't really care for in the demo. I know Madden will be more polished and it has the precision modifier for RB moves, but the way the game plays in these videos has me slightly concerned. I have the game pre-ordered for like $46 off ebay so I am already committed to the game. I am just mildly concerned with what I'm seeing in these videos but difficulty settings are probably weak.
The only reason I am critical of the D is simply because it looks pretty much like what I have been playing everyday against the cpu with NCAA 14. I expect Madden's d to be tighter as Madden 13's D was much better than NCAA 13. However, this seems to be the year of offense... run free is way overpowered in NCAA and zone D is non-existent. I have not seen anything video footage wise that makes me think Madden will be lightyears better. I hope I am wrong but we will not find out until season ticket.
Definitely think the focus is on the RB and run game this version
Even though I think the run game has been fairly solid for the past 2 versions if you could run.
My only hope in regards to the Defense is I hope the Offense doesn't have the ability to "create" routes with total control passing like this past version
It was nothing to turn a Streak into a modified Post or Corner Post. Or a Corner Post into an Out route, etc
The run game was already kind of hype because Physics would have your guys falling or getting chipped, or some of the terrible angles taken at times.
If that is cleaned up then I definitely like the odds of Defense being up to par with Offense. I didn't have much trouble with Defense this past version even with the things I mentioned above. Then again I always play with teams who are stronger on Defense anyway.
Total control passing has been toned down this year.
There are videos on owner mode and relocation process.
Relocate

Interesting to see that cpu teams will have the option of relocation as well. I look forward to seeing what happens.
Have to admit that watching the relocation video made me pretty excited. I will move one team just t experience it (test dynasty of course).
