for me i feel like maybe reciever should have fought for the ball use his body, instead of a layout catch. but its an early build they need to tune those type of scenarios.

You must be new here.

We see pre-alpha and are told it's pre-alpha.

Then we see the same thing in Beta, and are told it's just beta.

We are told to wait for E3 and then are told E3 is a much older build than they have right now.

We are told to wait for the demo, but it's still almost the same... or at least the core complaints are still there... but it's just the demo.

It's time to wait for the retail copy, but and it is very similar to the pre-alpha, but we are told to wait for a patch or two, or three... and next thing we know Madden 11... I mean 12... I mean 13 is about to come out.

Yet, after all of that, even with the minor improvements here and there, it is still the same game in MANY other ways.

I agree with others that the foot planting in Madden 10 is actually better than Madden 12. I still have M10, M11 and M12 and can compare. While M12 is the best Madden on this generation, and may be one of the best Madden's they have put out, it STILL isn't nearly as good as it could or should be.

I am not asking for the impossible. I am not asking for too much. I am asking for things that have already been done, in other football games.

What has REALLY changed in the game play from Madden 09 to Madden 12?

When I think about it, all I can really point to are options like game speed/sliders, how tackling works has changed, and how run blocking works. Also, the visual presentation was improved last year and looks like it has continued to improve this year.

I can't comment on the passing game, but in motion the game still moves like Madden. It is still choppy and robotic with animations and reactions that don't pass the eye test. Heck ,the QB mechanics are still god awful and unrealistic. I'm sure body language still doesn't really matter. I'm sure a defender who is a complete stop in zone, or going one way can change direction and keep up with a receiver who is running an In route over the middle.

Too many people are happy with the "it's just a video game" line and actually DON'T want more authentic game play. There are people who love how casual and arcade-ish Madden is.

it looks like a different company is making this game because this is looking really good. they must have replaced quite a few people.

They correctly have Simms and Nantz sitting in the correct spots.

also look at all the related videos... Simms always on the TV left and Nantz on TV right. Good job.

Don't know if that has been posted yet but I'm going to say it anyways. There is a thing called jumping the routes. DB's do it all the time and in that vid it looks like that is what the DB was doing. That looked like a good football play to me. The WR made his cut and the DB reacted fast to it(what a good DB does) Now if his back was turned the entire time I could see some merit, but the play is developing in front of him the entire time.

I noticed that too, but that's not what's REALLY impressive, what's really impressive is that they got them in the exact booth location for all 32 stadiums, so you will see exactly what you see on tv.

The only thing I like is the WR/DB interaction. Everything else looks like same old Madden to me.
