Cam Newton/Williams/Stewart all snubbed on Madden 13

Cam is going to be a monster in this game, if not just for the updated playbook with triple-options and designed QB runs. By mid-season I suspect he will be close to top 5 in rating.

Hey did they add QB runs and options this year for real? Running with the qbs the last few years on Madden has been horrible.

I don't know, I generally rush for about 50 yards per game with Cam, but rarely anything more than 20 yards. Usually just 5-10 and slide. I play with him pretty much the way he plays. I hang in the pocket trying to find a receiver and if nothing opens up and there's a lane, I take it. QB sneaks with a yard or less to go are virtually unstoppable.

Cam should be an unlockabe secret character....only avaliable after you beat the game on super hard mode with no restarts. He should also be wearing an all black uni.

That's not how it works anymore. Now you must pay $5 to unlock additional features or extra characters. So that would be a total of $10. $5 for Cam and $5 for the alternate uniform.

That kind of made me sad typing that.

This guy is being sarcastic for those of you who don't know...

People make way too big a deal out of the overall ratings. The raw stats are what it's all about and I'm sure Cam will be toting big numbers in speed, strength, elusiveness, trucking, and throw power. sure his awr and acc are gonna start out low, but he'll probably be the most effective qb to use in the game. running quarterbacks have always been broken in football games and i doubt this will be any different.

I tend to do my own roster edits every year and 'fix' the horrible EA ratings. I tend to go for a much more conservative rating scheme and only put guys 90+ in rare situations. For the Panthers, this is how I have the team rated in Madden 12 right now:

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
