Madden NFL 13: A Comprehensive Review
Introduction
Madden NFL 13 is the latest installment in EA Sports’ long-running Madden NFL series. The game was released on August 28, 2012, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation Vita, and iOS. Madden NFL 13 is the first game in the series to be developed using the Ignite engine, which EA Sports claims provides more realistic graphics and gameplay.
Gameplay
Madden NFL 13 features a number of new gameplay features, including the Infinity Engine 2.0, which provides more realistic player movement and animations. The game also features a new passing system that gives quarterbacks more control over their throws. Additionally, Madden NFL 13 includes a new running game that features more realistic ball carrier movement and tackling.
One of the most significant new features in Madden NFL 13 is the Connected Careers mode. This mode allows players to create a custom player and take them through a career in the NFL. Players can choose to play as a player on offense, defense, or special teams. They can also choose to play for any team in the NFL.
Connected Careers mode is a great way to experience the NFL from a player’s perspective. Players can create their own unique player and customize their appearance, skills, and abilities. They can also choose to play for their favorite team or create their own custom team.
In Connected Careers mode, players will earn experience points for completing games and achieving goals. These experience points can be used to upgrade their player’s skills and abilities. Players can also use experience points to unlock new equipment and uniforms.
