Everyone has already pretty much said what is wrong with this game, so I am not going to repeat any of it and just add my 1 star and my "F you EA, $60 for this piece of crap? Do you even listen to us when we take the time to give you feedback and help you improve your product? This can't be the case because it has the same problems that last years edition had with several new ones thrown in the mix", you know just the general disappointment we feel with the decline of our beloved Madden. Stick with 12, the more of us who refuse to buy subpar Madden games the more likely we will see a change in the product itself; with the feedback that so many of us take the time to give actually counting for something. I'm returning mine and I hope to see you all in the 12 (or better yet 11) lobbies. No beef with anyone who actually likes 13, I hope those who do have hours of fun with it...this rant is just my opinion.

Edited on 8 September 2012: I did actually return 13 and have been playing 12 since. 12 is still plenty active as far as online play goes, so I encourage anyone who does not think that 13 is worth it to join me and mine in the 12 lobbies. We can't expect EA to change a damn thing unless we refuse to use their (latest) product(s).
Earth to the NFL: A lack of competition will kill a desire for your product...wait, I think that is the point of some of your most effective rules towards that every end... isn't it?!? Let there be a fair competition and let the best "team" win!!!!
Edited on 6 December 2012: The commercials that are coming out recently - that claim "it's the best Madden ever!" - make me laugh so hard I can hardly breathe. We customers, and loyal Madden fans, have clearly stated here on Amazon that it is one of the worst ever; the number of 1 star reviews speaks volumes. I just hope EA's blind-insane-apathetic-denial doesn't affect the next one... I have already heard quite a few people (strangers and friends) on Live say they are not planning to buy "14". Low sales is the only thing that will effect change; so I hope they stand by that claim.
