Madden 12 details giving out

[Amari24]

There are many changes I would make in all the other sports.


Hell, I am in love with the Show, but it is far from perfect.

No game is perfect, certainly not Madden. This will be their 6th game for the current gen systems, you'd think they'd have everything right. I don't see how hard it is to improve the scouting, drafting, trades, and ownership of the team in FM. And then add in some other cool features like analyst predictions like I pointed out earlier, those were in Madden '07 which was pretty cool. If they fixed those things then I'd probably buy it, not for $60, but I'd get it used or something.

I haven't enjoyed Madden since '06, and the things I'm asking for aren't hard to get done at all. I know they aren't because every other sports game like NBA 2K11 has them nearly perfected.

I just pulled the trigger on the pre order from Amazon. You get a $20 credit when it ships, which I will likely use towards something Broncos related

ugh...i keep saying to myself I won't buy and Ive had enough of EA...but I also know that I love football too much and will end up buying another unfinished game anyways

From what I read there, it seems like it will be somewhat similar to NFL Head Coach '09 which I'm happy with. I thought that game did a good job of doing the franchise mode things, but would've liked to actually play the games instead of calling plays which got really boring really quick.

That's cool I always thought they should take aspects from the Head Coach games and bring them to Madden. I agree that the games were boring in Head Coach just calling plays. It would be cool to bring the depth from Head Coach with the fun of playing games in Madden together!

How can you say that when other video games for different sports are offering what we expect out of Madden...

You all expect too much out of a video game.


It sucks paying $60, and I get why you wouldn't buy it, but the expectations for a video game are too high in my opinion.


Will I buy it? Probably, but I think the price is too steep. Oh well....nothing I can do about that.

I am.... Going to buy this game. Just from reading that. If what they said is true I'll deal with the few glitches.... This is what I wanted. I don't really buy Madden to play online (though I do). I buy it so I can build my Broncos team and make them champions

That's my thought too after reading that... Though one thing I hope they don't do is the premade rookies from Madden '10. I didn't buy last years so I don't know if it was like that or not. It made it far too simple to create a back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back Super Bowl Championship team...

I missed that glad to see they are addressing the franchise mode! Hopefully it blows us out of the water!!

If you go ahead and read on my post in page 2, it gives a fuller version of what the OP posted. It includes franchise information.

I thought I remember hearing there is going to be improvements to the franchise mode (my favorite mode) in 2012. Maybe there will be some more announcements this summer?? I would love an overhauled and improved franchise mode that is where I spend the most time when playing Madden. Also agree Superstar mode needs to be redone I don't like it at all right now. Oh and yes I will be a sucker and buy 12 weather or not these changes are made lol!!

I think the wildcat is broken, actually. I never run them anymore, because every time I did try to run a wildcat play, it would either be for negative yards, or I'd barely get back to the line of scrimmage. And don't even attempt a wide receiver reverse, as it's a guaranteed 5 yard loss.

Also, I know it's just a video game, but the computer just straight up cheats. Let's say I come out in a shotgun formation, 4 wide set with the half back in the back field. I choose a draw play, but instead of the computer lining up with 4 corners on the receivers like they should, it's just the 2 corners on the outside, with the outside linebackers either behind the d-line or they drift over to the 3rd and 4th receivers, but instead of covering them on the play, they are just waiting to tackle my HB. The computer should come out with a defensive set to match the offensive subs, like actual teams do it. But because it's a computer that knows what play you pick, it's extremely difficult to catch them off-guard.

Wildcat is kindna broken, though I love to use it against my cousin when we are playing. I love killing him with Tebow on running plays. On my franchise mood, I rarely get yards on wildcat, but for some reason my longest run was from the wild horse formation.

Every time I run Wildcat all my lineman are pancaked as the ball is snapped. It's just ridiculous.

Also, I can't go a game without fumbling 10+ times. Even on the weakest arm tackles where the defender barely gets a hand on my guy, he somehow fumbles. And this isn't with Knowshon "Fumbli****
