Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview
We recently took a look at the upgrades that have been made to the presentation in Madden NFL 12. However, this preview is all about the gameplay. While there is not a singular feature EA is trumpeting on the gameplay front, it’s clear that plenty of time has been spent trying to fix up and enhance what was on display in Madden NFL 11. The early results are intriguing, but with a lot of tweaking and tuning yet to come, it’s hard to draw too many conclusions at this point. Read More - Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview
Feel free to use this area to conduct some hot and heavy Q&A about gameplay -- or just to tell me how bad or awesome the preview is.
*UPDATED 5/11* first post with some answers to questions: Oh yeah, first off, totally forgot to mention Strategy Pad and defensive assignment whatnot. The Strategy Pad still defaults to the "controversial" original control scheme, but there is the alternate way to rock out as well. As for individual assignment stuff, shading and press coverage on single players is back in the game now -- think someone maybe have mentioned this already somewhere, but yeah, just reiterating if so.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuWxuS68FfY -- in case the YT embed is not working.) You and I both probably agree Adrian is sort of floating there and not really cutting. Honestly, in the past I don't really notice it being THAT bad when I'm playing, but when I look at replays then I notice it. So with that being said, I don't really know. I haven't really watched any replays or anything so I don't want to say one way or the other. At the same time, I would think I would feel the difference if it were truly "fixed", and I also don't feel like I would be too out of line saying foot planting isn't something they can probably solve in one year with what's currently in place.
2. This is a really good question, but it's one I'm leaning more towards saying 'no' about. I do feel like in Madden you can move up and down a bit, but yeah, parallel is sort of spotty. 3. Yeah, didn't really notice. As I said, I was able to swat away the balls that were under thrown. I also feel like I could get it over the DB last year though. 4. Yeah, I sort of tried to look for it, but again, I was more focused on chasing down whoever had the ball. I think it's a good sign that the linebackers were active on various defensive plays while I was the Ravens.
2. Yeah in man coverage, I was able to run some somewhat-timing-based routes with some lead passing involved. However, I would be shocked if that's completely gone. I still think the DBs will jump some routes, but I also think they probably should read some routes -- sometimes DBs just do. It's more just that they seem to lean inside a bit more now by default. 3. Sort of touched on it earlier, but yeah, I think it seems somewhat promising that the LBs are active, but not ready to really say one way or the other without really watching and seeing how both the lines interact. 4. Good question, I did not ask. I did not see any new ones during my time with the game is all I can say.
2. I assume you mean in terms of pre-snap. I think I just saw the three shifts again. 3. May need to be a bit more descriptive. My understanding is that a coverage shell is just Cover 2, man-to-man, Cover 4 etc. 4. Uhhhh, don't remember. The momentum, angle and underlying weight etc. take into account where the tackle will end up -- not the user. 5. I know what you're referring too, and I did not see it in my limited time. I still think there will probably be instances where the DB slides in miraculously -- old habits die hard -- but hopefully it's better is all I can really say for now. 6. I have lost track of whether they are saying this modified PRO-TAK or just something new honestly. Whatever it is, it's different from what was there last year. 7. You mean like in the summary after a game? Not sure. 8. Wasn't checking, sorry. 9. Didn't see much of that, answered it above a bit more thoroughly.
------ UPDATED 5/12
What you want sounds more like what NBA Elite attempted in one year than anything else.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview
After hearing so much about zone defense in both Madden and NCAA, I was scared to find out just how "super" it really was. Looks like my fears may have become true. I really hope this doesn't make man coverage obsolete in both titles...

Good read. My quick question is , I know you stated that the Throwing on the run looked akward and part of it was because of the feet. When running the ball , how did the foot-planting while running look? Did you ever get into the open field and really get going to see if it looked like the RB skipped or slid a few steps or was it all more grounded? Hopefully that question makes sense.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview
Can you tell me any more about the 3-4 defense? Do the DL take up space and the LB make most of the plays? Does it feel more realistic?
Also, I really like your suggestion about the kicking. I've never really thought about it that way but that seems like it would be a lot better. The preview looks good. I'm excited about the game!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Preview
A few questions...
-How was the pocket? Are the DEs getting up field to create the pocket? Are DTs getting a push? And did you notice any bull rushes that didn't end with the o-lineman immediately falling over on his back? -Have they added engaged player mobility? Are engaged defenders able to flow laterally towards outside runs while engaged or are engaged players still stuck in mud until someone wins? -Is the arc on deep balls better? Unlike you, I always felt like the deep ball was too hard because it never made it over the DBs head. -Did you notice any double team blocks on 3-4 NGs? Playing with the Ravens, this should have happen pretty regularly. Thanks
