Madden 13: Highlighting Best Features of Iconic Game

Everybody's favorite football game returns for another go, as Madden 13 is set to hit stores on August 28.

Video gamers everywhere are in for a treat, as the iconic franchise has added some exciting new features to already exceptional gameplay.

Some are more noticeable than others, but they all are going to enhance the user's playing experience.

Here we'll highlight the best features of the newest rendition of the world's top football video game.

Madden Ultimate Team

Just in case you find a way to get bored of tradition head-to-head and online play, EA Sports has come up with a way to revise one of the best features from the 2012 game.

The Madden Ultimate Team feature starts you off by letting you add a captain from your favorite team, and build a team around him. The EA staff really tried to emphasize the card game aspect of this feature, so you'll be able to relive your childhood through this function.

Last year, users were only allotted 100 packs of cards to use as their reserve players, but that number has increased to 1,000 in 2013.

This massive increase in reserves allows users to pick teams based on their opponents, which makes for less frustration and more winning.

One of the most interesting parts of this revamped Madden Ultimate Team, is that the best fantasy performers of the week will be uploaded to challenge your team if you are willing to answer the call.

Make sure you take a look at this feature as soon as you rip the packaging off.

Connected Careers

This is career mode on steroids.

The EA team has established a new standard for career mode in sports games. In Madden 13, you will be able to create your own player, play with any coach, start off at the beginning of any legendary career or take control of a current NFL player.

Something called a legacy score has been instituted in connected careers, which is a number that gauges how well you are doing in comparison to legendary careers or the careers of your friend's created player.

All of the information on your game console will be transposed onto a website, making it effortless to check your team, players and competitors as you carry out your journey to become the best Madden player in the world.

It enhances the game, making competition non-stop between players and their friends. This is the future of gaming, so you would be wise to get on board.

Physics You Can Feel

Powered by the Infinity engine, the Madden 2013 game play looks realer than ever before. There is virtually no animation that cannot be captured, and every player's looks different.

Remember the older versions of Madden when there were only about six or seven different animations after a player got tackled? That is no more. There are countless different and lifelike ways that the players move in.

There aren't any limbs passing through each other. No players will be deflecting off of each other when they should be engaged in high-impact collisions.

The running game will be improved and better than it ever has. Long gone are the days of running to the outside and turning on the afterburners to beat everyone for a touchdown. You actually have to follow your blockers and hit the holes hard or you aren't going anywhere.

Madden 13 is the most realistic sports game the world has ever seen, and the only way for you to find out is to hit the stores on August 28 and pick up your own copy.
