FIFA 13 Will Have Skill Games

Skill games will be included in FIFA 13.  Those are different challenges that focus on some of the most core elements of the game.  The skill games are partly designed to help new FIFA 13 gamers get used to the game.  However, you can also up the difficulty level for more of a challenge if you are a veteran.

You can learn to perfect skills like passing and penalty kicks without the pressure of being in an online game.  While it isn’t a groundbreaking feature, it is good to know that it will be in this year’s game.

The full video is about 2 minutes and it goes over everything in better detail.  You can check it out below.

EA Sports has released a 175 page document going over pretty much anything and everything concerning the new game mode in Madden 13 called Connected Careers.  For those of you who have the time and have nothing else to do until Madden 13 comes out it should have some valuable information in it.

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!
