5 Worst Madden 13 QB’s

Welcome Madden fans.  It’s that time of year again.  With the game dropping here in just a couple weeks and the demo only a few days away, we are releasing our 5 worst starting QB’s in Madden NFL 13 based off of their “Madden efficiency” not just their overall ratings.  What we did here at VG was take some of the most important ratings for a QB in the game of Madden and came up with their “Madden Efficiency Rating”.  The list of attributed used was thoroughly discussed by some of the best Madden players, and these were the 5 starting QB’s that were in the bottom of our rankings.

At #5 we have the Kansas City Chiefs Matt Cassel with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 77.33.  His combo of low THP and THA earned him his spot as the fifth worst QB in Madden NFL 13.

At #4  the Buffalo Bills Ryan Fitzpatrick with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 77.19.  He has the speed to get away from some pressure and gain some yards if need be, but don’t expect him to “zip” one in a tight space with his dismal 82 THP.

At #3 the Seattle Seahawks Matt Flynn with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 76.33.  His noodle arm and low throw accuracy makes him a liability to your offense.  Seahawks users feed Lynch.

At #2 the Minnesota Vikings Christian Ponder with a Madden Efficiency Rating of 72.87.  The lowest awareness out of any starting QB in the NFL and add on his low accuracy rating and he secures his place as almost the worst QB in Madden NFL 13.

And here we have it folks at #1 the Cleveland Browns Colt McCoy with a Madden Efficiency Rating of only 71.34.  He just doesn’t have what it takes to get the ball where it needs to be it’s as simple as that.  Also he has the lowest THP out of any starting QB in the NFL, so with all of that he seals his spot as the worst QB in Madden NFL 13.

Thank you guys for reading we will also be coming out with the top 5 QB’s in Madden NFL 13 based on madden efficiency.  Have a great day and happy gaming!

Kinect Integration Comes To Madden 13

Yesterday we wrote about FIFA 13’s Kinect integration and today we have a video on how the Kinect will be implemented into Madden NFL 13.  You can hot route receivers, audible to a new play, and a few other things on offense while on defense you can run commit, pass commit, hot route specific players, and audible.

It is by far the best use of Kinect that I have ever seen in a sports video game.  You can judge for yourself by watching the short video below.

Madden 13 is set to be released on August 28th, 2012.
