Save your money, there are lots of great games out there, and sadly Madden 13 is not one of them

User Rating: 6 | Madden NFL 13 X360
I have read alot of User Reviews on this game. What is really sad here, is that the Base Gameplay, really is not all that bad. And, if you have a really good HD Set and use an HDMI Cable, the graphics are really beautiful. (I have an old 360 with a component cable connected to an LG LCD and a new 360 with an HDMI cable connected to a newer LG LED tv. It makes a huge difference.)

Incorrect comments I have seen:
Cannot Edit Players - Wrong, yes you can, but you need to do it prior to starting Career.
Cannot change Uniforms - Wrong, the option is provided prior to starting the game, you cannot create uniforms and save them from my experience.
correction - You can Edit Players, but not in Career Mode?

There are alot of things I do not like about Madden 13, but the most prominent, inexcusable is the severly lacking Presentation. No halftime show (what?), no postgame show (what, what?), make for one boooring snoozefest.correction - Upon further review, there is what appears to be a weak attempt at a Halftime and Postgame show, so poor though that you might not even notice them.

Beyond that, my biggest complaint is that, while there is a Franchise/Career Mode, you cannot control the return of Past Greats? Old players, old coaches, etc. Why?

I really really wish you did not have to make the extra inputs to move your line, make adjustments, etc. There have been good control setups to do this for years, why not just use one that is already good.

Here is the small stuff: Practice - boring and time consuming, only for the most hardcore, kicking is too zoomed out and I swear the resolution is terrible, no Camera Controls? (really?)

I honestly like the Graphics and the Gameplay is really pretty good!

It is really pretty sad, this COULD have been a great game, but it is not. It is not worth your money. Rent it, try it first, and if you can live with all of the shortcomings (?) go out and buy it.
