Where's the best place to buy this? It never fails that I go buy this somewhere and find out I could have gotten it for way cheaper somewhere else. Thanks in advance.
Looks like Amazon still has a $15 credit if you don't mind having it shipped. I don't know if any retail places are having a sale since I just use Amazon every year.
This is 2012, mang. Text me and I'll text you back routine.
holy crap I'm so old...
any word on the next roster update?

There's less warping to INTs this year, but it's still about the same as last year overall. You do get instances where hitting Y/LB does nothing, which has carried over from NCAA. -_-
It does nothing because your player cant see the ball. If you can't see it you can't make a play on it!

Ramirez wants his all-seeing, all-knowing safeties back! Just like real life!

I still think even if the player's back is to the ball and if I'm controlling him manually, he should be able to catch or at least flail his arms around
This will let more passes happen between the linebacker and safety though...which could be good or bad. We'll see!

you can swat with your back turned, otherwise that's the point of having auto-strafe off.

And a tackle assist button
Using hit stick all the time and getting auto fumbles can mess with your game mechanics!

B&M? Toys R Us or Target. Both of them you get a $10 gift card + doritos at target.

Lol is he still doing this? He bawled his eyes out after I destroyed him on the ground because he would only use hit stick to tackle and not pursue the play and make a regular sure tackle. He's like the madden version of merriweather
Congratulations on the Providence special Sanj. I hope she didn't steal your wallet.
I went to Trinity, not the "Pink Palace" .
Yeah it really was. Season 5 definitely surprised me.Finally finished Friday Night Lights last night. Awesome series.
I think I stopped watching in season 2 during the oh so terribly done racism story arc.
Shocking, I know.
Season 2 was completely terrible. Alot of it was due because of the writers strike.
Maybe I'll just pick it up with season 3. I finished The Thick of It a couple weeks ago and have had nothing to watch.
Just keep going with season 3. They abandon most of the season 2 storylines and never mention them again.

Sorry this is a off topic but is there a franchise mode? Apparently there's just the stupid coaches mode now?

No there's a franchise mode. It's called "Coach Mode" since you're basically the coach doing all of the roster moves and scouting and whatever other normal franchise features have been in the game. You're still playing as your team.

Do you have to do other stuff? Maybe I was looking at the wrong screen but I saw something about setting ticket prices and stuff too?

Pretty sure anything you don't want to do can be simmed
Sweet, that I'm ok with. And I had one more question if someone can help, what's up with the kick meter? If I try to angle it, I've had a whiff of a kick by going straight up and going to the angle I want to kick. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help guys.
Madden 2013 Play-In Games:
FMT previously said teams could decide if it was Bo3 or Bo1, I don't like that.
All play-in series will be Best of 3.
Too much random crap can happen in one game, if you want your team, you will beat the other dude who wants them 2 out of 3 games. Believe in yourself.
Unless I can be otherwise convinced, the play-in games will be using the following format:
Remaining Teams:
Remaining Team Allocations:
Random assignment via TBD tool.
Each user will just be randomly assigned a team, no draft, no lottery, nothing.
We'll find a random program type thing on the internet to use or I will put Names in a Hat and draw them out of it and send a video of it to FMT so that there's nothing shaaaaaady.
When teams are selected from a hat, the highest rated teams will be drawn for first when the most people have a chance at getting them. I imagine that order is something like:

I'd pick up the Vikings but every year when I buy Madden I end up getting super fed up with it and selling it.

So who gets the 8th remaining team that's left, Lone?
No there's a franchise mode. It's called "Coach Mode" since you're basically the coach doing all of the roster moves and scouting and whatever other normal franchise features have been in the game. You're still playing as your team.
I think there's something additional in the options "coach mode" on or off. That might be why he's getting the option to set ticket prices.

We haven't decided yet!

Lone's NCAA meltdowns and pauses bug me.
I'm just saying.

So, you're waiting for Luke to tell you who gets to play then?
Multi-member "council" re-categorized to lone puppeteer.

Just saw he was 1st on the list (I know it's not in any particular order), just curious.
Why won't my players look at the ball and swat/attempt a catch when I'm controlling them.
Because they're members of the Redskins secondary.

If Luke had final say then DL play would already be banned!
Because they're members of the Redskins secondary.
Fair enough

Huh... so the Redskins finally make the decision to release Cooley.
Also, this secondary pass coverage is getting on my nerves. Why won't my players look at the ball and swat/attempt a catch when I'm controlling them. I keep giving up 40-50 yard passes.
Use strafe
Yeah, guess I'm out. I don't mean to offend the Great and Powerful Luke Smith with my Regain Composure (and Controller batteries) Pauses!
Combination of Time, 100% chance of frustration, and that being an OG gets me nowhere (day of launch and it's still up in the air if I got a spot)

There are lots of OG on the wait list

Yea that's just like last year, right? I mean it's still LT?
It seems like when I do that, my defenders will fail to jump. Whatever, luckily I'm playing quick matches instead of doing all of this in the league.
Oh and random question: how many connected careers can we be in?
