Madden NFL 13: Top 10 QB w/ Player Ratings

Written by Shopmaster on . Posted in Feature, Madden News 6 Comments

Today EA SPORTS started their reveal of Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings via ESPN’s Jon Robinson.  They are doing it a little different this year with them being the only one’s revealing player ratings.  In year’s past ESPN would give us team ratings, but this year EA is doing a weekly top 10 until we get to the launch of Madden NFL 13.  If you want to know the complete schedule check here for EA’s Player Ratings Reveal Plans.

This week it’s all about the signal callers, the QBs.

One thing that ESPN’s writer Jon Robinson noticed is the exclusion of one Cam Newton.  Why isn’t he on this list.  I think when I asked my followers on Twitter over 50% had him somewhere in the top 10.  I’m sorry but give me Cam Newton over Tony Romo, and that’s not because I hate the Cowboys; but because in Madden Cam is a Dual Threat.  Yes, as we will find out on Friday his awareness or accuracy in the pocket is no where near the top of the list but what he can do with his feet and the flick of the wrist is amazing and that transcends into Madden NFL 13.  I’m sure there will much debate about this list but for now check it out.

Deep Dive Into Connected Careers – Day 3 Diary

Written by Shopmaster on . Posted in Feature, Madden News 25 Comments

Good Morning Guys!

I’m going to jump into an improve gameplay build this morning and then I’ll go into Connected Careers some more. 

Ok, playing the new build feels a lot better.  I don’t see arms loose like in the build earlier.  This is what I like.  I like when the guys give feedback and the devs go back upstairs, tweak some stuff and then push out a new build.  Victor Lugo also came down last night and showed some of the new guys how to tweak it themselves. There is a massive debug menu that we can control different aspects of the game.  It’s like “Super Sliders”!  We are able to change stuff like the tension of the players, the stumble/fall aspects, and adjust a lot of things. We are mostly messing with the stumble thresholds, fall thresholds, balance radius, etc …

With players like Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, and now Rookie QB RG3; there will be many Madden 13 players looking to use the dual threat QBs even more this year.  The Carolina playbook already has some good options including the triple option. Sgibs and Farls of PrimaMadden.com in this video shows off the triple option on the E3 floor.  I also god word from a good source that the Redskins playbook will have some option plays in it.

Madden NFL 13 E3: Ravens vs. Redskins

Written by Shopmaster on . Posted in Madden Videos 5 Comments

Today’s Madden NFL 13 Video is a full gameplay video from E3 featuring Ravens vs. Redskins.  There are 3 videos for the whole game.  You may notice that this build is different form some of the other E3 builds of Madden.  This one was behind closed doors.  Please note that the difficulty was not played on All-Pro, I believe it’s just pro.  The person playing is none other than one of the Madden Developers who was writing stuff down throughout the game to take note of bugs.  I think it’s very important to note that these videos you are watching are not final builds of the game.

Enjoy!
