Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Franchise Sizzle

Looks like they're heading in the right direction this year. Hats off to EA sports for addressing these issues.

Madden NFL 12 Demo: Lets you play the preseason for any team.

I wish...

I got to stand on that field just last week......that place is insane!

[Facts]

I'm loving the direction of this new team. Keep it going EA.

[Stikskillz]

Looks promising. Questions remain though...

Will PS2 Training Camp make a return?

Will we be able to make an offline franchise into an online franchise and vice versa ala NCAA Dynasty?

Will we be able to save a game mid-game?

Hopefully these get questions get answered soon. Keep the game moving in the right direction EA.

the franchise mode is looking real good. if they would add the "talk out of retirement" in franchise like 2k5 did and if they would add sportscenter then their franchise mode would be perfect. but like i said before and im going to say it again, if the gameplay isn't up to par then they really haven't listened to their fans and they would just be lying to us all just like they did in the 06 trailer. does anybody disagree????????????????

If Madden is a flop this year, i dont know if they'll ever get it right. Its just hard to believe that they would be able to out-do this years Madden next year.

It all sounds, nice and dandy; but if the gameplay sucks! then what will franchise "sizzle" be worth in the game. I will keep my Madden12 hype, to a silent clapping! lol
Let's wait and see. I need to see some more gameplay footage, and a DEMO of a build closets to the final print. Before i give EA Sports a "Good job" shoutout.
cheers

I am in no way defending EA because all of this should have been added/ left in the game from previous generations. I will say as a mainly franchise player to me all of these additions are huge.

That is what a lot of people said after Madden 10...And we got Madden 11, which on the outside looked the same and didnt real sit well with the masses, but did show much improvement in subtle gameplay instances. I think they may be quietly doing what people have asked for and that is a new game every 2 years.

This idea to me makes sense, with such a short gaming cycle. Create a better game year 1, add some small changes while working on the following years version at the same time. If we get these kinds of additions like we did in 10 and now in 12 I am all for just a basic roster upgrade and some small additions every other year

1) AJ said he really wanted to put it in this year but they couldnt

2) We wont know about online franchise until the online blog comes out im going to assume that maybe some of the features will make it over to online.

3) I read somewhere that there arent in game saves.

Wow.. interesting approach by EA. I agree with the previous poster that said " If EA can't get it right this year, they won't get it right"

[BigSho31]

I'm REALLY hyped...I haven't bought Madden since Shaun Alexander was on the cover. I will say that this will all be for naught if these features don't work or work so well that it ruins the experience. Crossing my fingers and praying.

Does anyone know if Practice Mode has any potential game benefit to player performance?

For example, if one of my players is really cold, but he has a good practice, can get get out of his cold streak?

Also, if I have a rookie who's not getting a lot of in game snaps but I want to help his progression along in practice, can I give him good practice reps to help his progression?

I guess the key here is whether practice is tied to individual player performance the way games are, just maybe to a lesser degree.

Sorry if a dumb question guys, but I have been out of the Madden loop for quite sometime. Can you play an online dynasty/franchise similar to NCAA? Thanks.
