Hilarious Physics Fail in Madden 13

Every now and then we come across a video that we feel has to be shared. Lucky for you today just happens to be one of those days. The improvements to the physics engine in Madden 13 have been well documented. However, as with any major improvement there are slight problems. The team from GameFails received a submission from one of their users that they were kind enough to spread to the world.

Their are a few hilarious things in the video below but what seems to be overlooked is the fact that any 2 people would choose the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills to play with.

Anyway, it isn’t really important what we think, check out the video below for yourself. Let us know what you think of this epic fail in the comments section below.

Madden 13 Patch #3 Goes Public

Madden 13 has been somewhat of a sensation to track. There seems to be more and more people who are complaining about the game but sales have been rising and most unbiased reviewers agree that the steps that EA Sports took this year to improve the Madden NFL franchise have been great.

In any attempt to continue to improve on one of their biggest games of the year, the EA Sports crew has released the third patch of the year mostly targetting a few gameplay tweaks, and adding some things into the new connected career mode.

With any new mode, you expect minor flaws. As long as they are identified and addressed promptly, most fans don’t have much of an issue with it. The approach of the development team this year has been outstanding especially when the steady release of weekly roster updates are considered.

The team at Madden-School has the full breakdown of what is addressed in this patch. What would you like to see in the next one? Let us know in the comments section.

Madden 13 Roster Update #5

The latest roster update for Madden 13 has been announced by EA Sports. It will be available on the XBOX 360 and the PlayStation 3 on Friday 9/27/12. Notable increases include Robert Griffin III going up 1 point to 85 overall, Jamaal Charles going up 2 points to 92 overall, Joe Flacco receiving a clutch trait, and Maurice Jones-Drew going up 1 point to 98 overall.

You can see the full details of the roster update at the EA Sports website. Which players do you think deserved more of a ratings increase or decrease based on last week’s performance? Let us know in the comments section.

Madden NFL 13 Now Has Fantasy Draft

Fans from all over the Internet ripped into EA Sports for not releasing Madden 13 with fantasy draft included. With an update released last week, EA Sports attempted to fix the situation by adding it in via a server side upgrade.

It is a giant step in the right direction which shows that video game companies will in fact listen to their customers if there are enough of them that are angry and vocal. There are still plenty of things left out of Madden 13 like player editing and importing players from NCAA Football 13 to Madden NFL 13 but not everything can be done at once.

Are you happy about the inclusion of fantasy draft in Madden 13? Let us know in the comments section below.

Best 5 QB’s in Madden NFL 13

Alright Madden gamers with the game being release only a few short days ago the Madden staff at VG came up with the Top 5 QB’s in Madden NFL 13 based off of their Madden Efficiency Rating. What is the Madden Efficiency Rating you ask? Well it is an average of the players most important rating depending on their position. The attributes were discussed by some of the best Madden players and we are confident that these are the true best 5 starting QB’s in Madden NFL 13.

At #5 the Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 91.0. Stafford has the highest Throw Power in the game with a rating of 99, and that is what propelled him into the top 5.

At #4 the New York Football Giants QB Eli Manning with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 91.2. The defending champ has very solid ratings in every category across the board. One of the most accurate QB’s in the game.

At #3 the New England Patriots QB Tom Brady with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 92.6. The 3 time champion has always been a top QB in Madden NFL and with the numbers he put up this previous season it’s no shock he is close to the top again.

At #2 the New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 93.6. The single season yardage record holder comes into Madden NFL 13 bolstering awesome ratings. The only thing that kept him from being the best QB in Madden NFL 13 was his 89 Throw Power.

And finally at #1 the Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers with an amazing Madden Efficiency Rating of 96.8. He won the MVP and most certainly has MVP like stats 97 Throw Power, 97 Throw Accuracy, 98 Short Throw Accuracy, 97 Medium Throw Accuracy, and 95 Deep Throw Accuracy. Wow, it doesn’t get any better than that. If you want the most elite QB in Madden NFL 13 choose the Packers because Aaron Rodgers is your man.
