Has anyone else been playing M12 lately?

Would like some workable rosters for this

I have been playing 12 since I broke out my 360 during the pandemic and was just in need of something to pass the time without feeling doomed.

I liked 14 and M25 until I realized how weak M25 was for franchise mode and how dumb the draft logic was in 14.

I went down the line, because I didn't have great memories of 13 I skipped straight to 12, and then I went down the line until 08 because I didn't have the OGX and was not inclined to hunt down a PS2.

I liked 08 but i felt too dated for me, so I went back to 12. I had a 10 year dynasty and franchise mode that revealed some really cool stuff about the dynamics of the games and I decided to start over as a fantasy draft with some tweaks made to the rosters to give the progression less of an immediate impact.

I've since been posting both games I play, games I just commentate on, and games I let the AI commentate on (oh man, you're right about the nostalgia goggles on that commentary)
If you or anyone else wants to see them, both the M12 and NCAA12 games are on my youtube under Jigby Gaming.


Since you're into 12, you might actually be in the know. Do you understand the coaching scheme sliders?? I have read through posts here and experimented with them during this franchise and I cannot for the life of me figure out what they do.

I think one of the coolest things about Madden 12 was the confidence and consistency system. Players wouldn't play the same week to week or even drive to drive. Sack the QB and he could become trigger happy and start throwing the ball a lot sooner. If a RB fumbles he could start bracing more for hits making him less likely to use moves like Jukes and stiff arms.

Consistency was really cool because if your guy didn't have a good rating there his skills would fluctuate wildly from week to week. So you would have those streaky players who ball out one week and then disappear the next.

And it was all dynamic. I don't remember if there were any issues with the system (I'm sure there were) but it made it a lot more interesting.

Still hoping to find anyone who can put some updated rosters on a mem card for me if possible
