Madden NFL 13 Pre-Order Offer at Amazon Now Includes $15 Promotional Credit
When Amazon dropped the price on NCAA Football 13 to $45 that generated a significant response from consumers as the value of the game subsequently increased greatly.

While focus has largely been on the "monumental change to gameplay" being announced on Monday for Madden NFL 13 there is also the unveiling of "Connected Careers" scheduled for the same day.

Videos Showcase Tebowing and Salsa Dancing Celebrations in Madden NFL 13
With a number of customized celebrations being added for Madden NFL 13 it was completely predictable that EA Sports would exploit them given the press they generate and the free publicity that could come from something as simple as a tweet from the player in question. The first two having been singled out are of course Tim Tebow's "Tebowing" and Victor Cruz's salsa dance. It's a wonder why EA feels these are somehow exceptional replications - in fact they're riddled with inaccuracies a...
