It's the camera angles and presentations that won me over. Im still gonna pick up NCAA to get my fix but will probably trade it in when I get madden.

I agree with all 3 of you guys. Madden 12 has me very excited. The only thing that can ruin it is if the A.I is bad.

Now if the A.I is solid. I will be in heaven

Stuff you never see but make the development process so much faster and easier.

This is very encouraging. I do think the gameplay is improving and it looks better to me in 12. The game looks much smoother for one. Madden 11 wasn't a bad game at all, but it was still lacking a lot of the authenticity that made other games so great. That being said, I still think Madden 12 is shaping up to be an outstanding game. I'd really like the gameplay to get to that mind blowing level, and we really need things like penalties and challenges to be much more authentic.

I love the sound of that. I am much more excited about supporting (buying the product) a company that I feel good about. The previous few years I haven't felt this way about Madden. This year has me excited, and if the Madden team is pushing forward into the future with this kind of vision puts a smile on my face.

I can tell a difference, and hopefully the demo has gameplay that feels fresh. Thats really going to be the deciding factor for me at this point. I think if you guys focus on making this a true sim game, and bring back some custom features(custom stadium music, custom celebrations, *custom gameplay camera's,etc)you will find that you sell even more copies. In the end, I think we all would win.

Ditto.
