Madden 13 Glitches Should Be Few and Far Between

madden 13 - Calvin Johnson Jr Glitch

EA Sports has promised fantastic post release support for Madden 13 which should help rid this year’s virtual football game of glitches.  Sure there will be glitches like there are in every Madden NFL game ever, but they should get patched up quickly if EA Sports sticks to their word.

A patch is already promised for August 28th which will address the dreaded shake blitz exploit as well as wide receivers dropping wide open passes.  There is also supposed to be another patch that will come out 2 weeks later in September but the contents of that one aren’t yet known.

Roster updates were done on a weekly basis for the first time last year.  They had been promised in years past but they slowly faded after the first part of the NFL season until they only happened once every couple of weeks.  With the improved dedication to realism inside of Madden 13 as well as the whole staff’s renewed effort to provide post-release support, we should be looking at one of the best sports games of the last 10 years.

If you do find glitches in this year’s game, feel free to leave a comment below or email us and we will pass it on to the Madden 13 community manager Justin Dewiel.

EA NEEDS TO FIX COMMUNITY. IF PEOPLE QUIT IT DOES NOT REGISTER AS A WIN OR LOSS ITS CRAP BEEN PLAYING FOR 5 HOURS TRYING TO GET A WIN, WON EVERY GAME, AND HAVE NOT BEEN CREDITED ONE GAME BECAUSE ALL TEAM’S HAVE QUIT

I know same here. Its BS. Whats the point in playing if everyone knows all they have to do is quit, and they wont get a loss.

Awww man, where do I start?? This game is too expensive to have this many glitches. I had a game freeze on me on only my 3rd game in 5 days. I had a game go in to double overtime to give the computer one more play on 4th down when I was up. The computer returned a couple of fair catches on me. The commentary is sometimes way off. I had an INT against me not be challenged under 2 minutes in a half plus all turnovers should be reviewed after the defender trapped it. No play clock when you’re picking plays sometimes and it’s a lot more difficult to disengage from blocks this year.

Problems/ Glitches with Madden 13 I noticed so far after playing 16 ranked games

1. Too many Wide open drop passes
2. Time/ play clock disappears
3. Unnecessary player movement after the a play and some movement of players looks silly in a pile.
4. Doing away with Hot Route slant was not good
5. Can’t play with friends
6. Some running backs movement not right with controller
7. Some receivers in motion don’t do Hot Route @ the snap of the ball

WOW! Where do I start?
First off, no player editing in “ccm” mode. When I try making a trade (in offline ccm) in the trade screen while trying to scroll down the positions to select the player that I want to trade for (by pressing R2), it freezes! Sure the graphics are nice, but it’s NOT smooth, what good do these nice graphics do if it’s still choppy and players still move like robots? It’s just WAYYY too complicated and confusing trying to locate certain options in the game. During offline ccm, for whatever reason the schemes you set for each position on your team (from the home screen-under “More” and then in “Strategy” and in “Schemes”) NEVER saves and ALWAYS resets to default after every practice, game, every time you re-load your ccm, WTF! It freezes during games a little too often. This game doesn’t even function properly!!!
I swear to God, since I’ve bought this game I’ve been experiencing migraine headaches because of the HIGH level of frustration I have with this crappy game!! How can they take important features AWAY from the previous Maddens?? Who the heck was responsible for the development of this overpriced junk? This is an absolute joke, and honestly, as long as people still line up for this, who the hell is gonna give 2 craps and address this anyway?, they don’t care, they’ve already robbed America blind.

Here’s my advice for you, EA. IF you really want to learn how to properly develop a detailed sports game, please, just sit down and play NBA 2K12, and learn what true detail really means, see what true “fluidity” really looks like when it comes to graphics. And if you can’t produce such a game, then for God’s sake, MOVE OVER and stop hogging it all up and let 2K Sports (the real professionals) make an NFL game. If you’re so almighty then you shouldn’t be concerned, right?!? What ever happened to competition? I thought this was America, a country that moves forward with competition, not killing off any competition like some communistic regime! I HATE YOU, EA SPORTS!!!!!!!!!

I`ve searched and searched, but I cant find where to challenge plays. I know where it should be, but isnt there. Also, they fixed it to where you cant change teams in the middle of games. I tried to do that, to fix a challenge that it wouldnt let me do, by switching teams, then giving the ball back! lol Anyone else notice this?

I just played an entire game in my season, a heck of a game too, gained lots of XP, and once the game ends and I start scrolling down the player stats, WHATTYA KNOW, it FROZE….AGAIN!! All that time wasted, all that excitement, all that effort…..all for nothing.
Thanks alot EA Sports, thanks for stealing my money in exchange for a product that has SO MANY GLITCHES and many many other FLAWS in it that I honestly for the life of me can’t figure out how this game got approved for sale being in such an incomplete and ridiculous state. How can they get away with this? Too bad for people like me who are starved to play a quality football game BUT have NO other choice of games except for this piece of garbage EA is so proud of. How can they be proud to present THIS to the public?? I’d be embarrassed!!!
