Like the previous 2 years I was weak and bought Madden 13 on the spur of the moment and once again I am addicted..
And unlike the previous years the platinum in Madden this year is going to be very time consuming to the point that I don't foresee ever getting it ( you need a lots of online game and I don't play online).
That said EA has made some very nice improvements to Ultimate Team mode and the new connected carreer stuff is pretty nice too..
