Madden NFL 13 gameplay screenshots released

EA has released four new screenshots showing off Madden NFL 13's gameplay.  As usual, they look fantastic, although similar to Madden NFL 12.

Let's be honest, though, graphics have never been a problem for the Madden franchise.  All of the game's have looked great, but it's the gameplay that matters.  And while these screenshots don't really depict the changes being made to Madden NFL 13's gameplay, EA has definitely not been shy about their plans with this year's installment of the yearly football franchise.

Well, those are the screenshots.  They are nice, but it's nothing mind blowing.  To me, Madden NFL 13 has to make some drastic changes to the gameplay to really make it worth its $60 price tag.  So far, it seems EA is on the right track with the dev team focusing on defensive improvements.
