Madden '13 player ratings

This is the first year in a long while the game feels "new".

Thumbs up.

I liked the demo. The coaches look pretty funny. It's like the take a player's body and stick an old coaches head. LOL. Game looks good though, loved the Skins' throwback unis. Kerrigan is a beast and it was nice using Jenkins in the middle. Running game was okay, passing game just about the same as '12 I feel. RG3 is awesome. I also played with the G-men against the 49ers. Patrick Willis is a tackling machine.

Only downside for me was no Gus Johnson.

I'm with you, I'm not a big Jim Nance/Phil Simms fan. I feel like Nance should be in the tower on 18 at Augusta National. Maybe I not a CBS fan because most of the Skins games are on FOX. eitherway, I just like Gus Johnson's over the top enthusiasm better.

They have to fix the coaches' bodies! Pete Carroll looks like a body builder. No way is he that big in real life. Is Pete Carroll the coach of the Seahawks, or is that Ed Hochuli's new job!

I thought Gus Johnson was horrible. His reactions were way over the top and often didn't fit the situation. I don't think it was his fault, I like him doing live games, but he just didn't work in a video game IMO.

I thought that was hilarious.

Oh yeah, I'm hating the FG/kickoff controls BTW.

Aren't our throwback helmet's a matte finish? That reflection bothers me... other than that, not really seeing anything revolutionary on the demo. I do prefer this years commentary, but time will tell how repetitive it gets.

i really miss madden commentary. can't they have him record every possible syllable/sound and let the computer do the rest? even if the cadence sounded like my gps or like siri, i would dig it if it was madden's voice

I played the demo today and I can say that RG3 is the truth. I found myself shocked at the throws I can make now. The speed of the game reminds me of '04, I actually like it. The Right Analog kicking ala Swinging your club in Tiger Woods makes it more difficult to kick because you can throw your kick off with a shaky thumb. I'm going to enjoy Madden and our D is legit!

I think they need to bring this back:

Lls! I forgot about that mess!

The new passing trajectories are pretty cool. I've made some nice touch throws that you simply couldn't make in the past. And no more super LB's jumping up over the middle making impossible INT's. Play-action and screens finally seem to work well too.

I havent figured out the passing trajectories yet, how do you do those? I'm still just hitting triangle or square and using pressure to throw it fast or a lob.
