Just got a gift card from work(Its a shitty college job, so laugh it off 
) and I've only ever owned NCAA Football for PS3.
I'm a big Hornets fan, but wanted to see what everyone thought of Madden '13 this year.

depends how you like to play your sports games.
I cant play a game if that sport is out of season.
Basically my NCAA and Madden have a shelf life of about 6 months and then they join the rest of the my collection of past games.
I'd get NBA 2k13 since its basketball season. But thats how I game. The only sports games I can play year around are tiger woods and such.

Sports season doesn't matter
Basically, what I should have asked was:
The Dynasty/Franchise modes on these two games, which would you say is better?

This is a new layout for Madden's "franchise mode." Its slightly different than years before.
The inability to bring in your own NCAA 13 draft classes pretty much packed its bags for me. I couldn't really get into the game after my 3rd season ended when random generated players started popping up on stat leader boards.
If migrating classes is your thing, since you said you play NCAA, then I'd say skip this madden.
If football gameplay is what you're looking for, the gameplay itself is where the biggest improvements happened. The physics are pretty great.
One thing removed from "Franchise mode", which is now called Connected Careers, is that you don't play the front office. You don't "own" the team. You're either a coach (Franchise mode) or you're a player (Career mode). You don't spend money on stadium upgrades, control revenue or anything along those lines. it was scaled back considerably.
NBA 2k13 looks amazing, as expected. I don't know anything about the franchise modes of it, but Ive heard they are pretty solid. Unless they ripped out core elements of thier career mode like Madden did, I imagine NBA 2k13 is a superior career mode based product. (Although that is all speculation, as I havent played an NBA game since EA stopped makign college and NBA basketball games, and only owned NBA 2k11.)
Madden this year is skippable for career mode driven madden players. if this is your first madden, however, I still wouldnt taint a potentially great future experience by suggseting someone buy a watered down version.
Get 2k13.

Thanks man 
Will get 2k13 for the reasons you stated. I get to draft players and stuff in Career mode, right?

Have both.
I have played my player on NBA2k13 for about 80 hours and me player on Madden for about 10 if that makes any difference.
Besides that, on pure "sports game quality" alone, NBA2k13 wins hands down IMO.

Yeah it's called Association and it is much better than connected careers in madden IMO

Seems unanimous. Thanks fellas.

I have both and I love 2K13. Madden 13 is fun, but it's not in the same echelon of greatness as 2K13, IMO.
