This is true, but the US is pretty much the only country where soccer isn't the feature and primary sport too. So yes, I was implying in the US, even if I said around the world.

September 5, 201312 yr Does madden have a feature where you can speed thru the last minute during kneels. s*** is annoying.

You'd think they would have come up with that by now. I guess too many people like to f*** around at the end of games. I do like that it's a lot easier to run in this year's game. Anything above All-Pro last year (and in years before) and you average like 2-3 yards a carry. Edited September 5, 201312 yr by chw42

September 5, 201312 yr The new Madden gets better with each game - and we haven't even gotten to the point where I can start my delicious offline franchise with game 1 rosters.

September 6, 201312 yr Does anyone see a future in the things like NVIDIA Shield and other mobile gaming platforms? It seems like the Nintendo DS stuff has had limited appeal so far
September 6, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 10:51 AM) Does anyone see a future in the things like NVIDIA Shield and other mobile gaming platforms? It seems like the Nintendo DS stuff has had limited appeal so far The only thing that's really cool about it is the ability to stream your PC games if you have a high-end NVidia graphics card. Other than that, it's a tablet with joysticks that I can reproduce with any other decent tablet, a Sixaxis app, and a PS3 controller.

September 6, 201312 yr They have to show off the fact that every single thing that comes in the house can be a fort for them
September 6, 201312 yr After three games I don't think it's all that great. It still has major issues with random blocking assignments that absolutely kill great plays. I'll admit that interior running is a LOT better than previous versions. But Nantz/Simms are already old. And it's annoying that the same animation is played for every timeout. Also, I have yet to figure out why EA refuses to put a simple "load previous game" or "continue franchise" button on the freaking home screen. Why do I have to drill down 5 menus before I get that option? Oh! Another complaint: the load screens for just about everything are obnoxiously slow. 7.5 out of 10.
September 6, 201312 yr It took me a little while to get a feel for the engine again, but with the improved running, passing becomes a lot easier too because they don't just wait for you to throw it every time, and there are some tweaks I don't remember from my limited expose to '13 (like was the stamina bar always below the players? and the RT/R2 boost of speed? That thing is awesome too). It's not my favorite Madden ever, but it's a good one
September 7, 201312 yr It's up there with Madden 11 for me. I didn't think they'd matter, but doing the tutorials makes a difference. Now 4-1 against random assholes.

September 7, 201312 yr Anyone purchase Diablo 3 for console? I'm debating it solely on the fact that I spent countless hours playing Diablo 2 years ago
