That being said if this is the biggest problem I have with Madden 12 I'll be happy.
I agree. Overall I like what I see, but the locomotion/momentum still looks wrong, IMO. Both the NCAA 12 videos and the Madden 12 videos display unnatural changes of direction, just like Madden 11 had. A RB with high speed, agility and acceleration rating was just too good in M11, because they didn't have to respect momentum. Still looks like 'it's in the game'

And while it looks like there's gonna be some pushing and shoving in the trenches this year it doesn't look very organic to me. Not a major issue, but hopefully something they'll address.

I'm actually looking forward to trying the demo this summer.

On a side-note, I find it interesting that Tiburon is stepping up the gameplay just years shy of their exclusive license with the NFL (possibly) being over. And that Tiburon finally back on track on this generation of consoles, when we know next-gen consoles aren't too far away (Nintendo next year, MS and Sony possibly not long behind). Madden 05-09 were pretty good on last-gen...
