Been playing since Friday. I finally cracked the starting lineup as a RB for the Colts. Through 7 games I have 820 yards and 10 tds. The practice feature to gain extra xp is complete bs if you don't score everytime you get the ball. I'm waiting until I get ny code for john madden to start my coach connected career

[ya_boi_j]

It's amazing. I was playing madden and in week 2 of my preseason, one of the story headlines was T.O. cut by the Seahawks. How ironic

not sure about online but I do know that Madden Ultimate Team is unavailable until the release. I plan on playing that more this year. It took me a hour and a half to download with 20 mbps

54 mbps tool about an hour

this connected careers sounds like an awesome concept

its pretty interesting. It takes over for the old franchise and my player thing. If you wanna do a regular franchise you choose coach, for my player you choose player. On both you have the option to use legendary coaches and players, existing players or coaches or you just create a coach or player. Only bad thing is you don't get drafted. You choose your own team. So depending on what position you choose, if you're creating yourself, you may have to fight for a startting spot like I did if the current starter is rated higher than you are. In both modes you also you xp to progress your players which is a great thing.

Anyone know if the pre-order bonuses will eventually be available to the people who didn't pre-order? I would love to play as Rice, Sanders, and Elway in the new Connected Careers mode at some point but I didn't pre-order, so I'll be very disappointed if not, one of the big reasons I was looking forward to the game.

[SPOON JONES]

not to sure. William Moore got a **** rating of 75 this year. He is better than that

Madden 13 is pretty impressive. I am having a good time in the connected careers mode. I am doing one with Peyton Manning once I get tired with that I will do one with Matty Ice.

As soon as I got home, first game I played? Falcons vs Giants on All-Pro, and I DOMINATED those jokers.

[turnerdburner]

Hey I hopefully will be get mine copy end of next week if anyone is on xbox live add me "d 1 to fear " gamertag

[KGrillz]

I am doing a CCM with Andrew Luck. I usually run run with the Falcons, but I want to try another team/player to use. I have played three preseason games with him (2-1).

Is it true that there is no fantasy draft and player editor this year?  I think it would really suck if you couldn't tweak the rosters for realism, or make position changes during scheme overhauls.

You can't edit player and there is no fantasy draft, but the consistent weekly roster updates should take care of the realism factor.

That sucks.  I pretty much only play offline franchise, so looks like this year will be a no go.
