Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

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.

Yeah that's how you control it. They added a bunch of new trajectories and ball speeds.

Plus you can also lead throws using the left stick.

So the trajectories and ball speeds are more animation than anything new I can control? I know I can lead receivers and such with the left stick (but I never do). I've just noticed the better my QB the better results I have on passes. I played a full franchise season last year with Sexy Rexy as QB and I can already tell that RG3 is going to be better QB. Now if I can just become a better scrambler! I never even tryed last year with slow Rexy.

Kinda hard to explain but I think it also has to do with the type of throw you make. If you throw a screen, the ball is going to come out a certain way (low and fast) vs if you're throwing deep (higher arc) for example. Basically there are different pre-determined arcs for different types of passes. I'll post a video later that explains it pretty well.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

The throw in Madden that has aways been difficult/frustrating for me to make is the one sort of deep down the middle but not too deep, like 20 yards or so, with a LB in zone coverage who can just jump up and swat it down. I would love to be able to lay one over his head and drop it into the receivers hands. Basically for the Redskins its that post pattern to say Fred Davis or Cooley or another guy coming off the line close to the OL. If I could somehow change the trajectory of that pass it would be great.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

simmed a season, super realistic :P

griffin 3100 yard passing (26 td 13 int), 1500 rushing (8 td 11 fumbles)
14-2, lose to the saints in the NFC championship

carriker has 14 sacks and then gets labelled as a bust by madden. awesome.

It's fixed from what I've seen. I'm big on throwing down the middle to the TE's too, and I used to feel like tossing my controller through the TV when LB's would jump up and swat it or pick it off. Now I can make that throw no problem.

Did you get your hands on an early copy of Madden 13? Nice! 1500 yards rushing for the team or for RG3? If RG3, that's insane!

Just scrambled with RG3, ran into my own lineman, fell down, got back up and then ran for 15 yds. never happened before in my time playing madden.

They added some nice sideline catches, really nice in fact. I had Josh Morgan jump up for a ball and as he was falling backwards out of bounds he dragged his feet. I almost teared up. :)

Just for curiousity, I played the other game on the Madden demo last night Giants @ 49ers. I was the Giants and I threw a crossing pattern to Nicks as he made his cut to the inside and he reached out and caught it one handed and brought it in and kept running. You are right Matty, some of the new catching animation is really good.

I really want to play with the Lions now and throw some stuff to Megatron when the real game comes out.

I swear Marshawn Lynch is UNSTOPPABLE on All Madden. Oh yeah as we'll as Red Bryant! I mean can't be tackled or blocked.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

Anyone else noticing that Fred Davis is dropping everything? I think he's dropped 4 balls in the couple of games I've played

Its funny, I've seen a lot of people complaining about drops in general, but I've yet to see this issue myself.

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing "beast mode" in all madden.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

i'm playing around w the spreadsheet i downloaded from the madden site, using filters and pivot tables, fun stuff.

hall and banks are in the top 10 (tied) w 97 speed (banks also top 5 (tied) w 98 acceleration AND 98 agility / top 10 w 96 return)
moss, j. wilson, and garcon crack the top 50 (many tied) w 95 speed

fletcher BEST (tied) awareness at 99

griff almost in the top 10 (tied) w 95 throw power

t. williams top 10 (tied) w 94 pass block

riley top 10 (tied) w 95 tackling
fletcher top 20 (tied) w 94 tackling

fletcher BEST (tied) injury at 99

fletcher and kerrigan BEST (tied) stamina at 99

banks and moss both top 5 (tied) w 97 elusiveness

moss top 5 (tied) w 96 spin move
banks right behind w 94 spin move
hell, even griff cracks the top 20 (tied) w 92 spin move

banks BEST (tied) juke move w 98
moss right behind w 97 juke move

orakpo top 5 (tied) w 98 power moves
kerrigan just behind w 95 power moves

i'm sick of typing, i left off at power moves, i'll play w it more later on

but banks is looking like the best returner in the game

There's no way I'm trying All-Madden. I'll wind up having to buy yet another controller.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

I've played as the Redskins in the demo about 3 times now, and I'm sold on the game so I went ahead and preordered off Amazon (that $15 credit will come in handy eventually). The game itself is very smooth, I like the presentation changes they made, I love playing with RG3, and I'm excited to see how the new franchise mode plays out since I didn't buy last year's game. This feels a lot better than the last time I played.

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

Ok big football day for me all the way around. My 9 years running Fantasy Draft is tonight at my home with 9 other guys (I am the commish). BBQ with all the trimmings and trash talking about the lame guys that my other GM's pick too early or that are not playing (that's you MJD). When that's all over around 9pm it's time to drink some coffee so I can make it until midnight to run to Gamestop and pick up my already paid for copy of Madden 2013!

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

How are people liking the game?

Re: Madden '13 player ratings
 

Best Madden in years.

This is coming from someone who had pretty much given up on Madden in recent years and was playing NCAA all the time for my football fix.

The new physics engine isn't perfect, but it is a step in the right direction for the franchise.

Passing is tighter and just more fun than ever.

I haven't even really scratched the surface of connected careers yet, but like the new physics engine I think it's a huge step forward and will only get better with time.

For people who always want to bitch about it being the same game each year, that complaint falls on deaf ears this year.
