Madden 13 Retail Q&A

[BrntO4Life]

Hello VSNers,

I am able to get my hands on a full version of Madden NFL 13 starting today. Is there anything you want to know?

Can we change the CPU's uniforms in the CC mode?

messed around with MUT yet?

is 3 on 3 teamplay still in the game ?

can you modify strategy pad to be less of a pain like last year.. I heard controls were to be same as ncaa but the demo doesnt prove that..the strat pad is still stupid...and they didnt get smart and color code the pad so you can see which one to push quickly ...

Who'd you blow to get it?

Strategy pad takes a little to get used to, but it is way faster when you get it down. I'm starting to love it.

No one. Perk of the job, I suppose.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is an online feature only. I won't be hopping online.

CC impressions is all I want to hear about. I'm really crossing my fingers that there is nothing in that mode that is broken and causes all hell to break loose.

I don't know how much time I can put into that mode. There is only one copy for the whole office...

I'll try to give as much as I can there, but CC is going to require lots of time.

I guess I could break it down to more specific questions:

1. How is the progressing system in the game?

2. Does the CPU logically draft correctly now (we're kind of screwed if they can't since we can't select 32 teams anymore)?

3. Does the CPU sign players from FA that would make sense in their system (say a DE/OLB from a 3-4 defense goes to a 4-3 defense) and when they don't, how do they utilize the player?

4. Is there a ridiculous amount of players coming out of retirements each season?

5. Is the sim engine for stats each season still good (I believe they got this right last year)?

6. Don't quote me on this, but I think EA said the CPU teams trade between themselves now...if that's indeed true, they aren't absolutely ridiculous trades are they (I don't think any sports game, NBA2k, The Show, etc. has gotten that logic anywhere near good yet)?

7. Say you're 3 years into your season and you're the Redskins, the pre-game show doesn't keep stating that RGIII was a former Heisman winner and Shannan thought highly of him and drafted him. Aka, is the commentary more dynamic for players with this whole "storyline" aspect to CC.

That's all I can think of right now and I understand if you can't even get to half of them (didn't know you were sharing a copy with a whole office), but if you could shed some light that'd be great!

so what ? is it in the menus or not ? or will it only show in menus when online is available ?

I'd probably have a lot more time to play it if I was working at Best Buy.

You work in the gaming industry? A select group of Game Changers were flown to Orlando yesterday to play the retail copy a few days and give feedback on things that can be tweaked and maybe part of a launch day patch.

Rocket Catching is gone right?
