The bad?
Hard to tell from limited footage, but on the second play, one guy makes the tackle, and everyone falls down again.

"It's an early build"

True, it looks bad, especially since Brandon Meriweather (#31) comes running at full speed into the tackle and instead of affecting the tackle, he just grabs on and falls in the direction of the tackle (not respecting momentum). And the two other guys just fall down.

Re: First Madden 12 gameplay

Good find. Players look a bit more life like, particularly in the huddle.

Looking good. Looking forward to more gameplay videos. With each one, I could possibly be buying Madden this year.

I'm in the same boat as you. Madden has been upgraded to being "considered for a purchase". This is my 2nd year not purchasing Madden - after a 20 year streak of buying the game. It does look good. I'll check in on a regular basis.

Watched it on my iPad, but could someone tell me if you could see the players nameplates on the packers backs when at the line of scrimmage? It seemed to me they only showed up during the off play camera shots. Hope that they weren't sacrificed because of slowdown or something.

I'm willing to give them that, the game did freeze on them .

I like the way it looked the new cameras wow. Need more gameplay before I comment on that

I have to admit that the pre and post play camera angles are the best they have ever been (reminds me of a game that shall not be named ). Need to see more stat overlays and I think this years presentation will be very good. Jury is still out on gameplay however....need to see more vids!

I will be honest and I thought people were flipping out a bit with the "Where is the 3d grass". So I went back and watched the video in 720p full screen and I was shocked to see there really is no 3D grass. I understand the texture must load at a reasonable distance because the system could not draw every blade of grass for the entire field. But this really does look like the same nasty texture from all the previous versions.

First one is the :57 mark people have said there is 3D grass but i can't find it.




Where is this grass??



From these pictures it looks like the 3d grass is only drawn 10 yards from the camera, any further out and you get the flat texture. Look in background of the 3d grass pics.

I don't know how people can possibly continue to support this rehashed game.
Improved graphics------SAME GAMEPLAY

Re: First Madden 12 gameplay

How bout that 5 wide receiver set from the Pack! cant wait, sub in Finley unstoppable air attack.

Can't believe I am saying it, but love the lockout so we get Jones on the roster with Cobb adding the WR's.

Did anyone else notice that Aaron walked into the defense's huddle?

No he didn't. The camera was in the endzone at the defensive end focusing on Aaron. It was shooting through the defensive huddle. It looks bad though.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Video - Brady 99 Rating, Rodgers 98

I went through the box scores from 08 and 09 and Rodgers had 7 4rth quarter drives to tie or take the lead that resulted in loses due to special teams and defense giving up the lead. There's more to a loss than just the qb.

I said he deserved it. But I understand why people would think he doesn't since win-loss (fair or not) gets placed on the qb's shoulders

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Video - Brady 99 Rating, Rodgers 98

Here is a thought that I think many of us gamers don't look at when discussing ratings. Tom Brady is 99 Overall in today's standards. When EA is putting together the rosters and decide who gets what ratings they are basing everyone off today's standards.

They look at who's in the league. They aren't basing it on all time this is madden nfl 12 (or whatever annual release you choose) They base it off the player skill and performance among their peers at the specific point in time. Can anybody argue Tom Brady hasn't been the leagues top player overall putting together the last few seasons?

Re: Madden NFL 12 Gameplay Video - Brady 99 Rating, Rodgers 98

Am I the only one who thinks that the ratings EA gives their players are too high?

Very rarely in my opinion, should a player be given a 99 rating for anything. Wouldn't lower ratings allow the players to perform in a manner emulating more closely to real life; less arcadish?

Why not give ratings in the high 80s or something and rate lesser players lower, instead of giving these perfect 99s?

Man, I hate the player models. They look huge. Jordy Nelson looks like a linebacker, the linebackers look like DTs. Ugh.. I may enjoy NCAA more than Madden this year based on what I've seen.
