And you're right about Madden. Not much has changed but the new physics engine they added is really unrealistic and guys will go flying randomly. It's also WAY too easy to get picked off now, for whatever reason. Still, solid game overall though.

I agree with you on Madden, its a solid 8 rating still but they have a few glitches they could iron out for the next installment. Kind of funny to talk about a game that just came out two weeks ago, like its old hat.
NHL 13 Took me a few go throughs with the skating also, glad i'm not the only one. I always play the game the way you described. I see some people play the game with glitchy lil spin moves from behind the net and try to deke incessantly. I play it like i see it play out in person, just as you've described. It is definitely the best sports game of the year so far, looking forward to the new FIFA also.
