Madden NFL 12 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (First Half)

[mazinkaiser]

The pre-snap on defense looks the same as the demo. I really hope that they give more time on defense to make adjustments or this is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to get smoked by eagles users just because I don't have enough time to set a spy and set contain and set my pass defense.

Looks good, but they've got to get the punt return blocking fixed by release.

EA Sports has released another two videos offering the opportunity to watch directly-captured gameplay footage of Madden NFL 12. Comprising of the first and second quarter (final build) with the Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers in the rain it does not use the base rosters as some of the player movement – that will be made when the first roster update arrives in time for release – has been manually completed.

AGREED!

10 char.

I know the commentary's lame, but come on, after a running back gets nailed like that in the backfield, there's no emotion whatsoever from Gus and Tom!

In real life, that'd be a wow moment!

According to Justin Dewiel who works for EA, it's not, but I know it's probably close enough that there probably won't be many noticeable changes from this to the final build.

Coupled with the lack of engaged player mobility, the bad alignment is killing the defense.

And on the play before, he ignores the RB and lays right into the FB block. Suction may be gone but the defensive AI still has defenders looking for blockers instead of the ball.

And was still unaware of the ball.

Not even sure why a kicker would be running down on a kick-off.

Not sure if you're talking about the gunners but I wonder if they will ever get a double team attempt in the game. The inside blocker turning and running down field looks silly.

I just saw some NBA 2K vids, so this looks even worse than it normally does.
