Staff Roundtable: Madden NFL 12 Demo Impressions

[blackpuppy]

I'm enjoying it. I really like the new way to navigate play selection and the new camera angles. Mind you, I've only seriously been playing Madden for the last 2 - 3 years.

HAHAHAHA!!! Everybody point and laugh at the butthurt EA lover who just realized that the "Greatest Madden Evarrr!!!!!" still won't even be 1/2 of what 2K5 was on the field (where it matters). It's ok little guy, denial is the toughest stage, and you'll work through it eventually. But sooner or later you're going to have to accept the fact that EA is incapable of making a better football game than the one 2K made 8 years ago with last gen technology. It's kind of pitiful if you ask me...

The speed of the game being too fast is the most asinine argument I've heard ..

Does anyone actually watch Football?

Good read, I think there's always going to be problems, and little annoyances, but for the most part it's great so far ..

Its a shame to, because I put AA above Madden for the last 4 years.

You must not have played the demo enough, so ill gone and post this lil replay vid of whats been happening to me and its very frustrating to see this happen alot.

Also why is it everytime in every madden that as soon as I hit the button for my intended WR, the AI (all 11 of them) have this spidey sense and know who, where and when the ball is being thrown? I never get that element of surprise or the defender actually being unaware of the play thats going on up until this demo when I AM PLAYING DEFENSE?

But here is the SUPER DB clip...

Terribly thrown ball should result in an INT ..

The more I watch it the more I don't see the 'super' .. I've seen more legit super DB videos than this one ..
