madden 13 douche

shouldnt be too hard

Presentation

• This year, CBS' number-one commentary crew of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will anchor the game in the broadcast booth.
• Nantz and Simms appear in an in-booth cutscene before the game that includes stadium-specific backgrounds.
• EA is introducing 200+ new cutscenes between plays, before games, and more. These cutscenes are inspired by broadcast TV presentation. Replays are also being overhauled for more dramatic effect.
• Halftime features a new stats overlay, but there is no halftime show.
• The game contains all the new Nike uniforms and alternates on the disc. Some of the uniforms may have to be unlocked via a code as they are released in real life.
• Lighting changes based on the time of day occur per play instead of just at quarter breaks.
• Madden NFL 13 features the improved high dynamic range lighting and motion blur of NCAA Football 13.

[edit]Passing Game

• EA improved the left-analog stick passing controls so you can place the ball on a receiver's back shoulder, out toward the sideline, up high, down low, and other places where only your receiver can get it.
• Madden 13 integrates new pass trajectories and ball speeds to open up more areas of the field in the passing game.
• New pass animations speed up the time in which quarterbacks get rid of the ball, including a new shovel pass and specific set-ups for throws on the run.
• Pump fakes are now directed toward specific receivers, occur faster, and contain specific animations when performed outside of the pocket.
• Like NCAA 13, Madden features more than 20 new quarterback dropbacks, including those for 1/3/5/7-step variations, screens, and plays with auto-pump fake dropbacks.
• To improve the receiving, EA is including more than 430 new catch animations, some of which are fueled in part by the changes made to the left-analog passing stick. EA Tiburon says it also wants to make user catches easier to do by slowing down players when they select a receiver.
• The quarterbacks have new moves for avoiding the pass rush. A slowed down pocket speed give you more control when you're trying to not get sacked.
• EA tweaked play-action to include an abort command that cancels the animation for those situations where a defender is barreling in unabated. The play-action also unravels faster in general. Running backs should be better in blocking after the fake (as well as release for passes) and defenders will be faked out more by play-action.
• Receivers have timing windows in their routes. When they expect the ball they'll turn their head to the quarterback. Until this time, their passing icons are grayed out. Passing to a receiver who isn't expecting the ball will often result in an incompletion. However, receivers will sometimes look for the ball earlier if the cornerback across the line of scrimmage blitzes or the receiver beats the jam at the line.

[edit]AI

• Neither receivers nor defensive backs react to a ball unless they are expecting it (like in the case of a quick slant for receivers) or they have their heads turned and are looking at it.
• Defenses line-up opposite receivers in a best-on-best designation. This prevents your linebacker from matching up against an elite wide receiver lined up in the slot, for instance.
• Defenses disguise their man or zone coverage before the snap so offenses can't try to use motion to uncover the defense's plans.
• Defenders use different coverage techniques such as off coverage (where they start seven or so yards off the line of scrimmage and attempt to read the ball), trail techniques (including hand fighting), and split techniques (where the linebacker stands between the tight end and slot receiver).
• New animations allow for simultaneous tackles while the ball is being caught (including being able to knock out the ball in mid-air), and in general the development team says it's been working on the interplay between players while the ball is in the air.
• EA promises enhanced AI playcalling for two-minute drill, goal line, clock draining, and red zone situations.
• New Infinity Engine improves tackle animations and the outcome of player interactions including a balance system.

[edit]Audio

• Over 82 hours of commentary from Nantz and Simms, to keep the audio new and different each time, with over 9,000 unique lines. Most of the lines are ad-libbed and Nantz and Simms regularly have interactions and comment on what is actually happening on the field.
• A new "Madden NFL 13 Theme", composed by Colin O'Malley, to be played at the beginning of the game as well as variations heard at quarter breaks, halftime, and postgame. In addition, an approx. 15-16 track, fully orchestrated soundtrack, also composed by O'Malley, will replace EA Trax for the music on the menu screens and other game modes.
• Partnership with NFL Films to get exclusive sound clips, such as QB cadences, hits/tackles, and group chatter, only available in Madden NFL 13.
• New crowd noise, recorded with 24 microphones, opposed to 4 microphones in previous years.

[edit]Other

• Special teams coverage has been revamped to get rid of player clustering. EA is also integrating cover and lane logic, new formations, and better wedges on returns.
• Madden's control scheme will now match the control scheme on NCAA Football.
• Kinect is included on the Xbox 360 console.
• "Tebowing" will be included in the game.^[6]
• Connected Careers: Combines Franchise, Online Franchise, and Superstar modes as well as historic players into one gameplay option. It will also make it no longer possible to import draft classes from NCAA Football.

[edit]

Yeah, I totally abandoned PA last year. It was literally a sack every single time. Which sucks cause I lived off PA in 11. I also found HB screens to be a lot harder last year, which was also my bread and butter in 11. So needless to say I had to find a new game plan for 12. A lot of TE streaks, WR go and dig in routes. My passes to the HB drop significantly.

like the shadow on the field if you play a late afternoon game would get bigger or smaller after every quarter but now it changes every play

only thing that matters!

10 top RB's for madden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJNHziooDqA

- looks like they make shaking off tackles n gaining extra yards a lot easier this year

- shady mccoy 95 overall, yessir!

- mojo over AP for the top spot!

- where the f is my boy redzone redmon? guess madden doesnt know too much about fantasy sleepers right nick

downloaded the madden 13 demo. quick recap:

graphics: the same 1% improvement they have every year
controls: they are much smoother this year. user catches (and catches in general) arent forced, i think they said there were a ton of new catching motions, so far they look pretty good.
tackling: they have also redone the tackling and break tackling animations. they do seem better although there were some awkward tackles where a ballcarrier would fall down 3 steps after getting hit. hopfully thats just in the demo
play action: line gives you time to fake the handoff before you are sacked this year
play calling: not a big deal but it seems like one of the older layouts
pregame/in game cuts: fing sweet. they start with teh commentators from in the box and give you a really good view of the stadium. in game replays are much better also
kicking: a little different, they went back to the right joystick down/up kick

overall i think the biggest thing is literally the player movement. they just seem a lot smoother than before. i feel like this is what made the 04 madden the best ever, and they really got back to that. def better than madden 12

have you guys seen any of the paul rudd ray lewis commercials? haha these are great especially this one

http://www.brobible.com/sports/video/paul-rudd-ray-lewis-madden

so i down loaded the demo last night and i gotta be honest, i didnt see much difference.  hopefully it was just cuz its a demo, but if u told me this was madden 2012 i might have believed u.  maybe i was too pissed off about the ps3 not coming with an hdmi cord and having to play on 480i instead of the norm 1080i but that will get fixed asap.

good look.  is this the one i want? (the 1st one)

Product ID: 3872 1.5ft 28AWG High Speed HDMI® Cable w/Ferrite Cores - Black

true.  are the colors being different mean anything?

ok nice, well good looks i just got one for $6 (including shipping), hopefully it will increase the graphics now so it doesnt look lioke im playing ps2 still!

hahaha please tell me you just made up 480i off the top of your head and thats not really what your playing on
