Re: Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360)
I think what he means is that even though they've surpassed their past titles in the presentation department, there is still room for improvement. Presentation in 2K (football/basketball) games have always been top notch, and even though Madden has finally made most of us smile in that department there is still room to exceed the standard just like 2k5, for it's time, did back then. I for one am a presentation whore, and I dig what I see.
I never understood what took so long to at least try and improve this aspect of its virtual football game. Hell, it took SCE San Diego one shot to get it right with MLB the Show...but I digress, this shouldn't turn into a 2K/Madden skirmish but more of an acknowledgement that Madden has vastly improved.Comment

One thing I noticed is that gameplans are heavily slanted towards zone, which for the Bears is okay because they are heavily a zone defense team, but I was under the impression the Packers played some of the tightest man to man in the league. So far gameplan for them has not reflected this.Comment

Not to incite a 2K/Madden debate either, but 2K's presentation was the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Madden's is still in JV in comparison in my opinion.
To make this post somewhat impressions related, there's still no proper halftime or postgame show to speak of in Madden 12. I honestly can't see how that warrants a game being "in a league of its own." The commentary is still elementary (going by the Madden 12 videos that EA has posted), and the cutscenes that do exist in the game will probably be old by the time to retail drops, assuming you'll be one of the ones who plays the demo nonstop until then.
You're entitled to your opinion I just think it's EA hateboy talk.Comment

Lighting is amazing
Sweat on players is very noticeable
Pause the game and you get Dynamic Player Performance
I threw two intc with Aaron Rodgers that were very realistic
Replay camera angle are great
Faces during cut scene are very clear and crisp especially the eyes.
There are either more facial animations or the camera is closer and that makes them more noticeable.
White scuff marks on the Bears helmets
Animations are robotic but it may be because I'm playing on slow
Stat overlays are great (can't wait for franchise mode)Comment

All I have to say about gameplay regarding NCAA football 12 and Madden demo 12 is that NCAA gameplay= football on ice. Madden gameplay= football. 'Nuff saidComment

Let me correct your statement, NBA2k11's presentation was the NBA Hall of Fame. I used to own NFL2k, the presentation was good, but not as good as Madden 12. The ONLY thing better in NFL2k presentation was the halftime/sportscenter weekly show in franchise.

NBA: Bucks
MLB: Cubs
NCAA: Syracuse
Soccer: USMNT/DC United

Really enjoying the demo too, Matthews is such a beast in it it's unbelieveable.
The presentation is really good till you reach the half, then the halftime show lets it down because it's so bland and adds nothing to it....
The gameplay is improved but still has little niggles, the throwing animation is improved but the ball after the delivery becomes a bullet sometimes and seems unrealistic. Also, the running game in my opinion is awful, really hard to get anything going at all as Grant... NCAA seems to be much better. Throwing is a bit inconsistant too, Nelson drops everything while Jennings catches the most stupid throws. Now I know Nelson is inconsistant at times but come on!
Game speed is also a bit of an issue, normal is so fast it's comical while slow seems just a little too slow to be realistic. Some aspects like the running game seem ok but a lot of the passing game seems sluggish to me.
Overall though there are more upsides which I can't be asked to mention so while there are issues I am more impressed with this demo than I have been previous titles. Not a first day purchase this year because I haven't played NCAA enough yet but I will definatley be getting it at some point. Hopefully by then all the inevitable teething troubles will have been fixed. Fingers crossed.Packers | Tottenham Hotspur | Heat | Dodgers | Carolina Hurricanes | Volunteers | BvB DortmundComment

I don't know if it's the best compared to NBA2k11, but this is definitely the best presentation in a football video game.Comment

In my observation they're gone. In NCAA, LBs can break up passes that are intended for receivers 10 yards away from them. It doesn't happen in the demo.Comment
