The more I read about Madden 12...

[livestrong11]

The last 2 years of madden never saw the light of day after nhl came out because they were so horrible. this years ncaa football is a joke.(hopefully there patch fixes it) saying all that, ive played madden 12 for the last 2 days and love it.

Just my opinion, but I don't necessarily see this as a gamebreaker, but I understand the outrage, the same way I understood it with the punter dominating a DT. Something like this shouldn't be possible in the game at all, because it's not possible in real life.

A team could get away with something like this once, and only once, because real life defenders would alert accordingly. If the defense in this year's Madden is programmed to be smarter than that should apply all around.

I hope it's something that can be fixed without totally going the other way like last year where the QB would take the snap and just dive forward. That's not the answer either.

Then make us wait 2 months until it's properly patched!? GRR! I'm so FED UP with this damned company!

It's barely 3 pages long and half is dedicated to a bug that's already been fixed.

That's the beauty of forums like this in my opinion. I wish I was on sites like this back in the 90's and could have gotten full reviews of games from various sources before spending my hard earned money as a teenager. Now that I'm a grown man, I value my time even more than money and I'd rather not waste my little bit of free time on a game that requires me to put more effort into making it realistic than the development company seemed to put into testing/QA. People have been trying to silence and downplay the disappointed consumer on here for years and it has failed every time. It will fail again this year and every year until the consumer gets what they have been asking for. Luckily for EA/Tiburon, they are the only game in town. That's even more reason to put these kind of issues out into the open and hope they get corrected rather than trying to make excuses for a company with a monopoly over the market.

I have to disagree because for years the same people pitching about anything and everything while telling all forum members that ea sucks or they wont pay a dime, are the same who bought season pass and will buy madden.

It's called hypocritical

Where did I defend EA. Why are you so worried about what I post in every thread. 99% of your post are to criticize.

Not being able to use a QB sneak IS a significant problem. If you can live with it, great, but why not acknowledge that this is a problem and should be fixed. Jiminy Christmas.
