Got my copy at Target which was probably a mistake, now I can't upgrade to next gen for $10.

I just play the free demo it curves my carvings and well it is free.

Free and very limited compared to the full release of course. Just wait a couple weeks and get it for less. Honestly unless you're a hardcore Madden guy it's probably not worth getting right away.

Really it is my time. I don't have any to enjoy it.

This madden is like most maddens I play. I play the previous years madden, love it, enjoy it, get the brand new madden, play it, hate it, can't get used to it, keep playing it, and in a month I finally get used to it. I'm in day 1 now of getting used to it.

Side note, I heard the awful reviews for this game, and some guy at the video game store said that I should just (and he mumbled) 'get madden 13 and upgrade'? Anyone know what he is talking about or trying to mention?

MTK · 08-29-2013, 01:11 AM

Currently an 81 on Metacritic which I think is pretty fair.

It's gotten to the point where people love to hate on the game no matter what.

I play every madden like... way too much every year. Maybe because im really good. And I have to tell you that there is nothing wrong with this game. Its the exact same concept every year, people act like theyd rather play with 3 pixels per player again. It gets better graphic wise and user control wise every year. Its the 25th anniversary. buy it its good

CultBrennan59 · 08-29-2013, 12:27 PM

I already got it ^

Monkeydad · 08-29-2013, 12:56 PM

Still playing Madden 2005.

I have RGIII on it too.

With kids, I only get to play it maybe 3 times a year. I'll upgrade eventually.

That Guy · 08-29-2013, 06:25 PM

no pc version since 2008, but it's moddable at least.

donofriose · 08-30-2013, 10:25 AM

Madden is an entertaining game to play no matter how much hate it gets. It is not a great sports game but not terrible either. So a C or a low B would be a good grade in my opinion. Or about an 81 like someone posted previously. The graphics do get better every year but obviously there is still a lot of room for improvement. Is it worth 60? Probably not but it is a football game so who can resist.

I think people are just expecting too much from Madden. I am curious to see how it looks for Xbox one/PS4. I would like there to be another company to "compete" with Madden just because I remember the greatest improvements in the game was when there was another company creating a similar product.

MTK · 08-30-2013, 10:39 AM

The more I play this new one the more I like it. I'm even liking the new zoomed out camera. You can really see plays develop much better. I agree I think part of the problem is people's expectations are just unreasonable, it's a video game and football is a complex game. It's never going to be exactly like real life. Plus I think there are always those that hate EA for having the exclusive deal with the NFL. Heck, people hate EA for a number of reasons.

How is everyone enjoying franchise mode on the new Madden. Building a franchise and SIMing the game is my favorite part of Madden. Would I be happy with this one?
