Madden NFL 13 is an American footballvideo game based on the National Football League, published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. EA's Chief Creative Officer, Richard Hilleman, said that defense would receive various changes in mechanics and controls, one of the first known changes in the game.[6] Part of the Madden NFL series, the game was released in 2012. For the first time in the series, the game was officially released in Brazil, due to the explosive growth of the sport in the country.[citation needed] This was the last Madden game released on the Wii, the first and only to be released on the Wii U and PlayStation Vita, and the final in the series to be available for non-mobile phone handhelds and Nintendo systems. It was the first game of the series since Madden NFL 2002 to not feature EA Trax and instead only had instrumental music, which was met with criticism.[7]

A 64-player fan vote tournament to determine the cover athlete began on March 7, 2012. The vote-in round matched up a pair of teammates from each of the 32 NFL teams, the winners of which were seeded in a 32-player bracket. The cover features Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions.[8]

  • 1New features

New features[edit]

Sources:[9][10]

Presentation[edit]

  • The CBS commentary crew of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms take the role as game announcers in the game.
    • Nantz and Simms appear in an in-booth cutscene prior to the game, including stadium-specific backgrounds.
  • EA introduced 200+ new cutscenes between plays, games, etc. The cutscenes are inspired by different TV presentations, and were overhauled for dramatic effect.
  • There is no halftime show, instead being replaced by a stats overlay.
  • The game contains all the new Nike home/away uniforms, including alternates on the disc. Additional uniforms were unlockable by code as they were released in real life.
  • Lighting changes based on the time of day occur per play instead of just at quarter breaks.
  • Madden NFL 13 features the improved high dynamic range lighting and motion blur of NCAA Football 13.
  • Ray Lewis appears in the introduction that features his real-life moments and shots taken from the game.[11]

Passing Game[edit]

  • EA Sports improved the left-analog stick passing controls so that the player can place the ball on a receiver's back shoulder, out toward the sideline, etc. where only the receiver can receive it.
  • New pass trajectories and ball speeds open up even more areas of the field for passing game.
  • New pass animations speed up the time in which quarterbacks get rid of the ball, including a new shovel pass and specific set-ups for throws on the run.
  • Pump fakes are now directed toward specific receivers, occur faster, and contain specific animations when performed outside of the pocket.
  • Like NCAA 13, Madden features more than 20 new quarterback dropbacks, including those for 1/3/5/7-step variations, screens, and plays with auto-pump fake dropbacks.
  • To improve the receiving, EA is including more than 430 new catch animations, some of which are fueled in part by the changes made to the left-analog passing stick. EA Tiburon says it also wants to make user catches easier to do by slowing down players when they select a receiver.
  • The quarterbacks have new moves for avoiding the pass rush. A slowed down pocket speed gives the player more control when trying to avoid getting sacked.
  • EA tweaked play-action to include an abort command that cancels the animation for those situations where a defender is barreling in unabated. The play-action also unravels faster in general. Running backs should be better in blocking after the fake (as well as release for passes) and defenders will be faked out more by play-action.
  • Receivers have timing windows in their routes. When they expect the ball they'll turn their head to the quarterback. Until this time, their passing icons are grayed out. Passing to a receiver who isn't expecting the ball will often result in an incompletion. However, receivers will sometimes look for the ball earlier if the cornerback across the line of scrimmage blitzes or the receiver beats the jam at the line.

AI[edit]

  • Neither receivers nor defensive backs react to a ball unless they are expecting it (like in the case of a quick slant for receivers) or they have their heads turned and are looking at it.
  • Defenses line-up opposite receivers in a best-on-best designation. This prevents the linebacker from matching up against an elite wide receiver lined up in the slot, for instance.
  • Defenses disguise their man or zone coverage before the snap so offenses can't try to use motion to uncover the defense's plans.
  • Defenders use different coverage techniques such as off coverage (where they start seven or so yards off the line of scrimmage and attempt to read the ball), trail techniques (including hand fighting), and split techniques (where the linebacker stands between the tight end and slot receiver).
  • New animations allow for simultaneous tackles while the ball is being caught (including being able to knock out the ball in mid-air), and in general the development team says it's been working on the interplay between players while the ball is in the air.
  • EA promises enhanced AI playcalling for two-minute drill, goal line, clock draining, and red zone situations.
  • New Infinity Engine improves tackle animations and the outcome of player interactions including a balance system.

Audio[edit]

  • Over 82 hours of commentary from Nantz and Simms, to keep the audio new and different each time, with over 9,000 unique lines. Most of the lines are ad-libbed and Nantz and Simms regularly have interactions and comment on what is actually happening on the field.
  • A new 'Madden NFL 13 Theme', composed by Colin O'Malley, to be played at the beginning of the game as well as variations heard at quarter breaks, halftime, and postgame. In addition, an approx. 15-16 track, fully orchestrated soundtrack, also composed by O'Malley, will replace EA Trax for the music on the menu screens and other game modes.
  • Partnership with NFL Films to get exclusive sound clips, such as QB cadences, hits/tackles, and group chatter.
  • New crowd noise, recorded with 24 microphones, opposed to 4 microphones in previous years.

Other[edit]

  • Special teams coverage has been modified to prevent player clustering. EA also integrated cover and lane logic, new formations, and better wedges on returns.
  • Madden's control scheme matches the control scheme on NCAA Football series.
  • Kinect is now included on the Xbox 360 version.
  • Tim Tebow's 'Tebowing', Victor Cruz's 'Salsa Dance', Rob Gronkowski's 'Gronk Spike', and Cam Newton's 'Superman taunt' will be included in the game.[12]
  • Players can now wear the Riddell TK and Wilson F2000 helmets, which do not have facemasks on them.[13]
  • Connected Careers: Combines Franchise, Online Franchise, and Superstar modes as well as historic players into one gameplay option. It will also make it no longer possible to import draft classes from NCAA Football, do a fantasy draft, play co-operatively on 1 team during a game or control multiple teams throughout the Connected Career.

SportsNation Cover Vote Tournament[edit]

After the success of the Madden NFL 12 cover vote, EA Sports again teamed up with ESPN's fan polling show SportsNation to bring the tournament back for this year's installment. The tournament began with a 64-player vote-in round, during which fans were able to select from two players representing each NFL team.[14] The teammates went head-to-head in a voting competition to see which player would qualify for the actual tournament bracket. By the end of the 64-player vote-in round, the number of competitors was cut down to 32 players, with one player from each team.[15] Due to offseason player movement, however, the New York Jets and New England Patriots began the tournament with two players, while the Denver Broncos and St. Louis Rams were unrepresented. This occurred because during the vote-in round (March 7–21) Tim Tebow was traded by the Broncos to the Jets after Denver acquired Peyton Manning, and Brandon Lloyd left the Rams to sign with the Patriots. Both Tebow and Lloyd, who had previously been teammates in Denver, were eliminated in the first round. The initial bracket featured 3 players who had previously appeared on the cover of Madden (no player has been featured twice): Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints (11), Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers (10), and Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals (who appeared with Polamalu on the cover of 10). Fitzgerald eliminated Polamalu in the first round, while Brees was eliminated by the Ravens' Ray Rice in the second round.

Of the 8 defensive players in the initial bracket, only San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, cornerback Darrelle Revis of the Jets, and defensive end Jared Allen of the Minnesota Vikings advanced to the second round. Only Willis advanced to the third round, with Revis being eliminated by Victor Cruz of the Giants and Allen by Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots. No offensive linemen made the initial bracket, with only one appearing in the 64-player vote-in round (Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns, who was beaten out by teammate Joe Haden). Punter Shane Lechler and kicker Sebastian Janikowski, both of the Oakland Raiders were the only special teams players in the tournament; Janikowski advanced to the 32-player bracket where he was eliminated by the Jaguars' Maurice Jones-Drew.[16]

Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton has received more votes than any other player in each of the first two rounds (over 500,000 in the first round, over 870,000 total), winning 87% of the vote over running back LeGarrette Blount of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round and 83% over San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates in the second. The only upset by seed in the first round was Willis (an 11-seed) winning 62% of the vote over Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte (a 6-seed). Willis knocked off another higher-seeded running back in the second round, 3-seed Maurice Jones-Drew. Two other upsets occurred in the second round with Ray Rice (5-seed) narrowly defeating Drew Brees (4-seed) and Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions (6-seed) taking down Arian Foster of the Houston Texans (3-seed). The final voting featured QB Cam Newton and WR Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson was eventually named the winner, beating out Cam Newton 52% to 48%.

  • b1 Lloyd became a free agent and was signed by the Patriots during the 64-player vote-in round.

Soundtrack[edit]

Madden NFL 13 uses an original orchestrated score composed by Colin O'Malley, as opposed to licensed songs. The move was met with some criticism from fans and critics, who cited the franchise's inclusion of songs as a staple of the series.[17][7] The original orchestrated score by O'Malley was later added back in Madden NFL 18.

Madden Nfl 13 Wii Vs Wii U

I’ll be honest; I’m not much of a football gamer. If you asked me what my three favorite football games were, you would get Mutant League Football, Tecmo Bowl and Joe Montana Football. In fact, out of the 481 games I have reviewed over the last decade before this one, only one was a football title: the disappointing Tecmo Bowl Kickoff for the Nintendo DS. The last two football games I really enjoyed were ESPN NFL Football 2k4 and 5 respectively. I haven’t touched a Madden game since EA got exclusive rights to the NFL license until now, and that’s because I was the only one on staff that had a WII U at the time the game came in. By the time you are reading this, Wii U launch day, we’ll have two others on hand, but for now, I was the only one on tap to do this. The good news is you’ll be reading a Madden review from a fresh perspective and you won’t hear the common “same game but with a roster change,” because let’s be honest – it might not seem like there are many changes from year to year, but for someone whose last Madden was 2k4, a lot HAS changed. So sit back and get a fresh perspective from someone who hasn’t touched the franchise in a decade, and see whether or not they were able to get into the game. For those looking for a veteran Madden player’s perspective, you can always read Aaron’s review of the PS3 version.

First up, I will state that Madden NFL ’13 is pretty user friendly. The game goes out of its way, both in the manual and in-game, to explain how to play via the GamePad, which is far different from any Madden game yet. At times I felt like I was playing a “Football Manager” game, similar to the coach sims you find for various sports games on the PC. While not as crazy awesome as Out of the Park Baseball, I really enjoyed how the game played on the Wii U, and I honestly think sports gamers that sit down and play a few games via the GamePad will find this a more strategic and immersive experience than with the run of the mill controller. I will say, though, that as it has been some time since I’ve played a Madden title, I would have liked to be able to have the manual available while playing the game. Unfortunately, for Madden NFL ’13, you have two options. The first is to hit the Home button while playing the game and then select the manual option, which really takes you out of the game. The second is to view the manual online at https://help.ea.com/tag/manuals, but when you go there, there aren’t any Wii U manuals available, and if you try just “Madden 13,” all that comes up are PS3, Vita, and Xbox 360. So learning the game could have gone a bit smoother, but for veterans of the franchise, it should be quite easy to pick up except for the GamePad bits, which are new to everyone.

So what all can you do with the GamePad? A lot actually. First, you’ll notice how awesome the pad is for play selection. It’s too bad the system doesn’t come with two Pads, as it would let players make play choices without letting either one have an inkling about what the other is going to do. The pad also lets you sort plays by things like formation or play type, so for younger gamers or more casual players, you can find things a lot easier. It also makes it easier to test out wacky plays instead of scrolling throw the huge long list of options. You can also use the GamePad in a similar manner for substitutions. Tap the “subs” button on your controller as you select your formation and a list of available players to sub in comes up. Just tap the choice and the change occurs without any loading times or long pauses. This does makes the game go by a lot faster than back when I was playing on the PS2 or original Xbox. You can also use the GamePad to make scrimmage line adjustments. Things seem to be more natural and quicker when using a touch screen over a controller, especially when changing plays on the fly. You can draw a new running path for a receiver to counter your opponent’s defensive plans. I’m so used to old school football games where the receivers would always run is specific paths and not deviate at all. With the GamePad, you have total control over the paths they will try and nothing is preset in stone. One great example was taking good ol’ Joe Montana through such a path (who might be a bit saddened to learn now Nintendoes what Sega don’t).

Finally you have Detached Mode, which lets you play the full game on the Pad, so people can watch TV or do something else when you’re wanting to catch some pigskin fever. The catch is that touchscreen options don’t work in Detached Mode and you can only access it before starting a game, so you can’t move over if your Super Bowl is going into overtime. As well, you can’t switch back and forth between Detached and the tv screen. You have to finish a game first. So this mode isn’t as exciting as you might first think, but it’s still useful.

So none of these new implementations are really going to change the landscape of how someone plays Madden. That said, I really like all the new touchscreen features and the ability to have Detached mode. If given a choice in the future, I’ll definitely take the Wii U version of the game over either the PS3 or 360 version, if only for the extra options that make the game both more comfortable and more fun to play.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about the various modes of Madden NFL ’13. The big one is Connected Careers, which is basically the football version of the “WWE Universe” mode that you find in THQ’s wrestling games. You can play online or offline, as a player or a coach, and the goal is to achieve the Hall of Fame. Don’t like where your particular career is going? Then retire and start over. The league keeps all the changes made in your previous career, so you can play as multiple players over and over again in an ever-changing landscape. Playing as a coach gets your more content, like post/off-season bits, while a player just has the games themselves. Coaching is a far more immersive experience, so it just depends on if you want to play football or micro-manage every aspect of the game, from draft picks to training. It’s very cool and it’s the best Sports RPG I’ve encountered since MLB Power Pros. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t permanently cripple Michael Vick, but at least I could fire him from the Eagles. My personal favorite was putting Joe Montana with the modern Seattle Seahawks (my favorite team from Tecmo Bowl) and watching them go crazy together. About the only thing I don’t like about Connected Careers is the Virtual Twitter, but it’s just because I find that form of social media annoying. It’s well done though.

I’m quite impressed with the graphics here in Madden NFL ’13. I haven’t played the 360 or PS3 versions, but from looking at screenshots, I’d say the visuals on the Wii U are on par with them. Uniforms, fields, weather conditions and everything else are highly detailed. Animations are fluid without any slowdown or frame rate issues. There are a few bugs, like players colliding or walking into each other, that would never happen in real life, but that’s more an engine problem than a graphics one. There are also a lot of neat pre-game show pieces which really add to the realism of the game – at least if you are an armchair quarterback. The visual style of Madden NFL ’13 is really trying to replicate the feel of televised football rather than “right there in the arena.” This is neither bad, nor good – it all just depends on your personal preferences.

Sound wise, the game is fantastic. The commentators are Jim Nants and Phil Simms, and they do a pretty good job. There is a lot of audio recorded, so although you will eventually hear the same bits repeatedly, it’s nowhere as bad as in previous years, which I really like. The crowd sounds realistic instead of like canned filler. According to the reviewer guide EA sent with the game, there are two different recorded crowds to really make each game feel distinct and alive. I can honestly say the crowd is really noticeable this time around, although I would have liked a Philly based crowd that heckles and jeers just about everything.

I was impressed by the sheer amount of voice acting and sound effects in the game. Twelve actual NFL quarterbacks provided their voices for the game and a plethora of sound effects came directly from NFL Flims. Again, the overall experience I had was that this is the most realistic football experience I’ve had yet. Of course, I prefer arcade-y style football games to a more realistic game, but this still blew me away and was a lot of fun to listen to as well as play.

Then there is the engine itself. Madden NFL ’13 on the Wii U is compatible with the GamePad as well as the Wii’s Numchuk/Wiimote tandem and the Classic Controller. Each version has their own ups and downs, but I think most gamers are going to go for a controller over the Wiimote setup. Still, it’s fun to try a few games with these. I’m, just glad EA went out of its way to provide different control schemes instead of JUST focusing on what they could do with the GamePad.

Gameplay-wise, EA Sports seems to have really made strides towards accuracy in how the game feels. This can be best defined by the new Total Control Passing aspect. With your GamePad, you use the left analog stick to direct where you want the pass to go and then to throw it. This can be used to create your own plays, like fakes, as well as make sure the ball gets to the most open receiver on the field. For a person like myself who prefers an arcade style football game, this along with the two dozen pass trajectories is a little too much. However, I can definitely see how people who purchase yearly Madden releases will get a kick out of this. So you have a lot more options and you have to concentrate a lot more instead of what we used to have in the eight and sixteen bit era. Again, this is both good and bad. It just depends on how you like your football. Of course, this is all you get these days with the NFL license, so if you want something a little more Tecmo Bowl-ish, you’re out of luck.

The game has also added receiver awareness. What this means is that the game’s A.I. has to be watching where the ball is as well as where it is going. So if a player isn’t expecting the ball and you huck it at him, expect an incomplete pass or worse, a fumble or interception. The game will alert you as to who is on the ball, and receivers only going a short distance will be ready for the pass quicker than those going way back. The way around this is to switch to control of the receiver after the pass is made and make the catch manually. This requires a little bit of timing and skill, but you’ll definitely be able to get the hang of it. Try it on a lower difficulty setting at first and then at no time, you’ll be able to make the switch from passer to receiver with no problem.

What else did I find in my time with Madden NFL ’13? Well, remember, it’s been eight years or so since my last Madden, so I’m not sure if any of these are actually new or just new to me, but here goes. There seems to be more emphasis on fake passes and punts than ever before. It’s easier to abort a play. In older football games switching a play after you chose it from the menu ended up looking like a mess and more often than not, as your attempt to switch things on the fly fell apart horribly. Here, it’s just a click of a button (ZR) and the pass is instantly aborted into a passing situation. This was great for when I was first getting hang of the controls and was up against teams that had insanely good defense. Quick short snap shovel passes helped a lot until I knew what I was doing. Defenders don’t seem to be on auto-pilot any more either. What I mean by this is that defenders won’t magically get an interception or a tackle when you do some crazy audible that they weren’t expecting. You can get your drop on the defense by being creative, even on All-Madden. There isn’t that instant “beeline for the guy with the ball” that has always been commonplace but unrealistic in football video games. No more magical interceptions by players who wouldn’t have noticed the ball in real life but who magically turbo sped up to the receiver and blocked them. On the other side of things, it is harder to tell if defense is in man or zone formation before the ball is snapped and defensive backs seem to have a lot more options open to them, similar to the increased control of passing.

That’s pretty much the game. I can’t talk about online as it didn’t appear to be up whenever I tried to go online here. It should be the same experience as on the PS3 or 360, just without the online pass (another reason to choose Wii U or the 360 or PS3 version) so longtime fans of the franchise can do their Madden On-Demand and everything else. Although the gameplay is far more in-depth and I really liked all the things that could be done with the GamePad, it’s still the basic Madden formula we’ve had since the nineties. Most importantly, it still works. While this isn’t a series I could see myself getting every year simply because I’m not a big football fan, it WAS fun to give this a whirl and see how the franchise had progressed. I went in skeptical and came out quite pleased with Madden NFL ’13. Add in the enhanced gameplay through the GamePad and the lack of having to deal with the Online Pass that is becoming increasingly prevalent (and increasingly annoying), and the Wii U version of Madden NFL ’13 is the game to get if you’re a football fan. Of course, most football fans already own it for the PS3 or 360, so it’ll be interesting to see how the Wii U version fans in terms of sales, if not critically.

Short Attention Span Summary
Madden NFL ’13 is the definite version of the classic football franchise this year. Unfortunately, most people that want a football video game have already picked up the 360 or PS3 version of the game. It’s too bad, because this version offers the same quality visuals and audio with enhanced gameplay and a personal preference of not having to deal with an online pass code, thus making purchasing the game used more appealing to gamers with limited disposable income. If you’ve been waiting for the Wii U before picking up this year’s rendition of Madden, you made the right choice. It even made me forget my grumpiness over losing the ESPN NFL series all those years ago; it’s that good.
