Looks like they're sticking with EA Sports presentation.



I know some will point out that they simply didn't add the official broadcast stations yet, but the overlay tends to be the very first thing that's finalized in a Madden Dev cycle - and this one already looks radically different from the Madden 11 overlay.

Don't get me wrong, they can still greatly improve presentation but I think it'll continue to be done on EA's terms for M12.

Surprise onsides might be exploited online to much. Hopefully the AI doesn't do it a whole lot. But nice addtion the game tho. Tuning put in will be help for the game and all. Nice blog overall. Can't wait for late march when the juicy info starts coming out. Thanks alot for posting then Steveo and thanks alot Ian for the halftime blog.

Pretty Cool, I trust that this new feature will be handled with care by EA since Ian definitely really understands this feature has potential to be a disaster for the online community.

Cant wait for the team to get into the nitty-gritty with gameplay and all the stuff the hardcore community wants to know about.

you act as if 6 months before release they're obligated to release MAJOR info immediately. Yeah no game does that.

I guess I was expecting a little more with the talk of big things being in the works since last year or earlier.

I hope "True to the Game" means they'll have some TV presentation improvements this year too.

I still cannot believe this is 2011....and no EA Sports game has a Halftime Show. Even NHL doesn't have Intermission Reports. This is a GLARING omission for games aiming for realistic presentation.

Come on now... It would be silly, from a marketing standpoint, to start dropping main new features in February. If they did people would start asking "is this everything?" in April.

Surprise onside kicks?.........lol

All I can say is that if EA can't figure out how to implement custom playbooks, but can focus on trash like surprise onside kicks they're completely clueless as to whats really important to a good football game.
