Madden NFL 13 Videos - ESPN Mark Schlereth Talks Presentation and Gameplay

[Eman5805]

The problem is that you're very, very, very aware it's a video game the entire time you're playing. It's probably cuz the very nature of football makes it so or something, but I never have moments when I'm fully in the game like I am with a particular baseball game or at times with a specific basketball game. Especially in terms of presentation.

Madden gets better each year...but the whole make and engine of the game won't allow for that total immersion. Maybe next gen.

For now? Eh. Not too shabby, I suppose.

Maybe not completely, but I think you will this year more than ever. I really think they are going all out with the commentary and in game presentation, which is huge in terms of immersion. I guess we will see come August, but I expect to see many people impressed by what they did.

I really hope with the Audio Playbook coming soon has something about revamped crowd noise. I want the crowd to be LOUD. It isn't bad in M12 but I want to hear lots of spots where the crowd just goes crazy. I've always wanted them to bring back the camera shake and controller rumble when you're playing on the road too.

If you watch at about 1:57 in the first video the coin flip is still messed up, it said heads or tails before the official even threw the coin in the air.

Why do they still run like it's the Winter Olympics?

Does EA Sports have their NHL team doing the running animations the last 7 years. This is NOT ice skating!!!?!!!

This post sums up the biggest problem with Madden I think...

Just wanted to point this out for those who didn't think having motion blur was a big deal. If you've played Madden 12 at all you can tell just how much better it looks with motion blur here, vs what you see in game.

Yeah, Motion Blur will make a huge difference. For me the Madden 12 Player Models and Helmet Models were the BEST of all time. They could keep the player and the helmet models to 13 and export this player and helmet models to NCAA
