Because depth charts were inaccessible with the E3 build it's unclear if the starting lineups contain all the legends or if others are present - and whether any more legends obtained (via pre-ord...

Over at Tradition Sports Online they were able to gather all the team ratings for NCAA Football 13 - Overall, Offense, Defense, and Prestige ranking. Check out the entire list here.

E3: Madden NFL 13 Day One Thoughts
EA Sports made a splash yesterday by announcing the "Infinity Engine" and Connected Careers for Madden NFL 13. The latter really isn't on display at E3 - nor would it really be feasible to play through in such an environment - so the former is getting most of the glory and rightfully so. The physics-driven engine isn't completely changing the way Madden plays but it is definitely enhancing it to a great degree. (more…)...

Connected Careers for Madden NFL 13
The reveal of NHL 13's GM Connected mode did in fact largely spoil that of Connected Careers for Madden NFL 13. The mode essentially combines standard Franchise, Online Franchise, and Superstar Modes into a single initiative with the user choosing to be a player, control a team in a traditional manner or as a coach, and even integrates legends as an option to choose from to run through a career with. Up to 32 teams can be user-controlled so again this is an expansion on what Online Franch...
