Im a big Madden fan, but I have to say im disappointed at this years game. The Panthers didnt even change the jerseys just a new logo so how the heck did they get the 2012 ones so wrong? If you want the right one you have to use 2011.

The demo plays way better then the real game, the tackles are nowhere as good as in the demo its like all 1-on-1 tackles in the real game and no one wraps up on tackles but the demo was way better. I think thats why im upset couse its like they gave you one thing in the demo then the game comes out and its worse. Dont even try to run the ball run blocking is very bad.

On replays your screen rocks back and forth and its kinda weird and you cant turn it off, also the COM goes for it on 4th alot and im playing the Saints* last night and 2 time they passed it to Graham and he just stood there waiting 2 get hit.

Also why does Amini Silatolu have long hair? Its not hard to look at guys pics and make them right, wow I know this reveiw makes it sound like im not a fan but I was out at 11:30 last night waited in line becouse I thought this would be the one to make-up for the others... I was wrong

btw all this after only playing 4 games, 2 last night and 2 this morning..

I'm always disappointed in Madden every year. This year is no different. But the sad reality is you either protest the game or you just get over the flaws.

With that said. Luke and Norman are beast. Norman has a 78 catch rating as a rookie. Higher than a lot of the Panthers offensive specialist. I'm gonna test a defense out with Luke in the middle flanked by Beas and Davis.

The main thing that pisses me off is the ratings. LaFell's speed is still that of a TE at 86. Donny Moore can't give a brother an 88, at the least?

Then the rosters are already supposed to have been updated, yet I'm still stuck with Mare's weak ass on the team. I fully expect Donny Moore to add Medlock next week with 88 KPW because he doesn't know anything about our team, OR he just doesn't like us.

Cam only has an 80 on DAC... SMH... Let's take a look at RG3's or Luck's. Norman with 84 speed. Nakamura with the same. I hate that sh*t. Each should at least have an 88, and say what you will, but that is a huge difference. Offensive line is spotty - each new starter is rated extremely low - like 73.

Oh, and the kicker... Denagelo loses YET ANOTHER point from his speed at 29 years old, despite still averaging over 5 ypc. That's why Donny Moore is a douche. There was no reason to take a point away from his speed, yet he continues to show his inner-hater when it comes to us. I'm telling you, I can't put up with much more of this crap. Having one guy assign ratings skewed by his own biases is ruining the game. They should base it off relevant info and statistics - until a guy shows that he has fallen off the old guy cliff, leave him alone. IDIOTS.

The game itself, ehhh, I love the new engine and the look and feel, but it will take some getting used to. At times, it feels extremely clumsy and clunky. In the passing game, the defenders get very little time to adjust. The control seems way to sensitive to even the slightest tap on the left analog. In career mode, my guy keeps making me guide him to the punt or kickoff manually, which in years past was easy, it would feel like the player would lock into the catching area once you put him there. This year, its an accomplishment to even get him there... And when I have he muffed about 3 in a row one game.

Our jerseys look like the generic knockoffs you'd find at a Maxway or Dollar General. I know Feldman said the black pants were gone when he previewed it, but I wonder why? I was hoping he just made a mistake, but he didn't, they're not there.

I don't know, I like the feel of what's going on, on the field that is. But, it definitely is in need of some tuning.

      Canales is holding us back

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
