Re: Madden NFL 12 "scores visual touchdown" - Presentation Article

This here presentation article is the most exciting thing I've read Madden-related in quite some time. If this article is any indication, M12 is going to be the business.

We're still a few months out and I'm excited ...



Curious to see KJcheezehead's reaction to this...

I agree with presentation looking to make a huge jump this year FINALLY. What has me most excited is the new camera work. That could put the prsentation over the top.

Even with all this great news in presentation there are two areas that really concern me. Those area's are commentary, and a realistic crowd noise. (Dynamic crowd) IMO it is those two things that make previous Maddens incredibly boring to play. I am hoping for major upgrades in those two areas...

This is sick!!!! I can't wait to pick up this game. I haven't been to a midnight release in a few years but you better believe I'll be doing it this year!

Looks hot! With all the visual improvements, I wonder how much we will have to install locally when you first start the game. Isn't the show 10GB?

Sounds good. As always though, I hope it turns out as well as it sounds.

I read the whole article, but I'm still not 100% clear how this will play out. Do they mean that the stuff that goes on between the plays have been filmed to look like broadcast, or everything has? If it's just the between play stuff, that's still a great improvement, but the during the play camera (all of them, not just broadcast) needs work too.

I see they are finally adding custom playbooks (I'm inclined to believe that their reasons why it wasn't in before are less than genuine) it would be nice if they finally added a custom camera.

Again though, everything that they have said to this point SOUNDS really good.

Everything looks good but i just wonder how this is going to backfire.. like this

"Then for the Rams, it's cool because Steve Spagnuolo leads his team onto the field. No matter who your favorite team is, we've captured everything just like you see it on Sunday."

now, if you change coaches in franchise will the coach change or will you still see Spagnuolo running onto the field?

NOTE - I Didn't see the post immediately before mine. Great minds think alike!


This is excellent news!

My only concern based off my brief reading is this -

• The bit about Spags leading his team out onto the field might be strange if you decide to replace him in Franchise Mode with someone else or an ex-player.

I guess I am concerned with how these things will be considered as the game is finalized for Franchise Mode.

Man. Best preview I heard for XBOX 360/PS3 versions of Madden so far. Everything sounds good so far. Now we just have to see this thing in motion.

Individual press and DB shade inside/outside= WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

I also wonder if the camera work is only for cutscenes or actual preplay/post play camera work.

I noticed the cam work a bit in the teaser. This is all a great step in the right direction.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Scores Visual Touchdown (ESPN The Gamer)

I agree this all SOUNDS real good, but will it all work out of the box or will we have to wait till the 2nd and 3rd patch ? And I'll ask the same question for like the 10th year in a row, will weather effect gameplay or does it still just change the color of the field only??? !
