You'd have to be the biggest Madden fan to be watchig a Madden video during Super Bowl half time. Might as well show the hardcore stuff.

This type of stuff is exactly why if I were doing it I would focus on the players that are a big part of the Steelers and Packers and showcase how Madden 12 intends to have their video game counterpart more lifelike.

This. At this point a lot of what I want to see is better animations and more fluid movement.

I passed on Madden 11 and it wasn't even hard to do which came as huge surprise to me. I miss playing football but, I won't waste money on another Madden that I feel isn't where it should be. I can't deal with consistently seeing those same hit animations and just all of them in general over and over again that weren't that good to begin with.

I want plays to feel different and doesn't feel like I'm replaying the same similar game because, of the hit animations. I can almost tell what the hit is going to look like before the hit even occurs.

I'm just hoping for better gameplay.

Franchise info is basically all I care about. Any tidbits on that would make me happy

Since you can't tell us significant things that will be in the game, please tell us some things, that you're positive about, that won't be in the game. There are things in Madden that bother a good number of gamers. Telling us that they're gone will satisfy gamers without derailing the hype train before it even gets started.

Honestly, I'm not really that excited about hearing any features now because, more than likely, the features will be small things with the meat of the info coming months down the road.

Tackling Animations

Lots and Lots of tackling animations!!!....for as many positions as you can show us


And then focus in on..... B-Roeth and A-Rod extending the pocket and making plays

Im so tired of not being able to use Bens best strengths in Madden.....He consistently shrugs off rushers and makes plays.........yet in Madden he barely can break any tackles behind the line of scrimmage

A-Rod should be quick on his feet and should show the ability to flip and scramble in the opposite direction...Boy does it look ugly in Madden when all they do is run straight right to the sidelines....A-Rod should show off his ability to feel where the rush is coming and step up and scramble accordingly

And there should be different animation for each......Ben should be physically pushing off more defenders while A-Rod has Elusive animations
