So what happens if OS has 2000 community members before you get the game? I pre-ordered madden from amazon and I don't believe I'll get the game and/or get the opportunity to play it until the Friday after the game comes out after school. How fast do you think this will fill up?

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
For some reason this announcement didn't do much for me... It's probably because I'm so invested into offline franchise that online play is almost meaningless to me. But I'm glad all of you online players are getting a kick out of it. I'll definitely try it out but hope you guys who will use it often really do like it. Madden 12 is shaping up to be one of the best yetComment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
No, its more than that, its basically another type of lobby filled with like minded players. If you wanna play cheeseball style, then make a lobby and invite everyone who like to play like that.
If you wanna play REAL 15 min Qtrs Football, and it be ranked with sliders tweaked for the best posssible simulation, then so be it. But its just lobby play that filtered to weed out certain types of gameplays online.Comment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
I love the idea of Online Community's, I don't care what people do with the game or their playstyle... That's up to them and to each their own. I know the style of game I want to play and that's great also, its nice to have a feature that is a moderated community of like minded players for whatever style you want to play and know when you get a game going it will be the style you are looking for. That is what the majority of the Madden community has been asking for over the last several years. Find a community that plays your style and have fun with it. The leaderboards within each community are just icing on the cake to.me.Comment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
Thia is an extremely weak feature.
I can't believe people are even trying to pretend this is cool. It's basically just letting you play ranked games against people on your friends list.
Gameflow, 3 vs 3 OTP, and now this joke.
I'm glad they upgraded offline franchise but this proves they could have done so much more....Comment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
Hmmm . . . I've been reading the Madden forums here for about 5 years, and this is not an accurate statement regarding the OS community--which, as the inclusion of the OS logo in the Communities feature indicates, is not a marginal group within the Madden community at large. The request to bring back some form of the fair play feature has been a regular one, but suggesting that OS has been clamoring for it over and above other important features would be a stretch.
I don't frequent the other major Madden sites as much as OS because the quality of the discussion isn't as high, but this also strikes me as not exactly true of their wants/needs. I would be surprised to learn that the sites that give you tips on how to create exploit-based schemes (under the guise of "strategy") were full of posters in a tizzy about creating lobbies where just their brand of ball were played. I could be wrong.
The decision is what it is, and that's fine, but the rhetoric justifying it seems a little suspect to me, that's all. It looks from the outside like the sequence from '10 forward is just a series of missteps that don't equate to genuine progress. My wish for the next generation of Madden games is that EA develop a company line that is consistent within itself and that they show evidence of a clear, discernible and stable vision for the franchise.
I really want that to happen, by the way, honestly.Comment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
I said the Madden community, not just OS. The single biggest complaint in online modes is play style and how to know who you are playing is playing the same style you prefer and....

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
We EA have any website or apps so we can we access our commmunity stats/ leaderboard ect via the web? That would be nice. If not is that something LM could pull from EA?Comment

Re: Official Madden 12 Online Communities Blog
Exactly how do Online Communities change that? I can set up a community and call it sim and set all the sliders i want (still love to hear how they couldn't get at least sliders in Online Franchise) there is nothing stopping people from playing non-sim.
So now you can say well the person in charge can boot them and again I say to you that I have the same control with a friends list. Basically this is a large friends list, with stat tracking and leader boards.
Bottom line this is to cater to the online ranked players who like to see their names on leader boards. Most people I know want a way to play in leagues and this does nothing to help them that I can see.<a href="http://www.operationsports.com/Danimal/blog/6756-going-old-school-v1/">Read my blog Going Old School v1 GridIron! football.Comment
