We all know, 4 the most part, fans haven't had that Madden experience since the last generation, and we all expected bigger and better expectations 4 the next generation. But, it seems like, since the new generation we've been missing out on that experience we all had, that we just can't explain, but most fans seemingly share the sentiments. Now, with all the news of all the work they put in Madden 12, ( I gotta admit, extremely excited with the franchise, gameplay, and presentation news ) do u guys feel this could b THE ONE! Or should we not buy to much into the hype, like they're doing down in Philly, Lol!

Re: What do u guys think? U think, finally this is the Madden we been waiting 4?
It's not the game I've been hoping for but is does seem to be shaping up to be the best next gen madden so far but it's no where near what I've been hoping for from a next gen football title. We all have own own visions for what the game should be or could be and different levels of expectations and acceptance. My expectations are much higher while my level of acceptance has been drastically lowered.Proud Beta tester for NFL 2K Dreamcast

Not yet, but they are definitely on the right path. Next year probably will be for me, because the commentary is a huge must on my list. I also think with the new improved commentary engine we will see next year, we will also finally get a real halftime and weekly franchise show.Comment

The Madden I've been waiting for is described in the link in my signature. This year's Madden is a big step in the right direction though.
They addressed my biggest concern (the ability to edit players in franchise mode) and partially addressed another big concern (rosters), but there's still a long way to go. It worries me a bit when I hear people calling Madden 12 The One or anything like that, because I'd hate for Madden to think that everyone is completely satisfied with the game as is. Now, if they improve this much every year, in a few years we might reach the stage where there's not much to complain about.Comment

Our next generation systems haven't even been used properly. We are using slightly upgraded PS2 and Xbox graphics on our PS3.Xbox360. The problem comes from developers not putting forth the effort or time in generating a new physics/control medium. Madden players run like they have a stick stuck in their buttcheeks. Its been that way since the early Genesis games. Skating is meant for the Olympics, not the frozen tundra. Someone must have the two confused!
You can also look at RPG's, GTA models, and even other sports titles (excluding NBA2K) all of the physics and gameplay resembles something you could have played 10 years ago! Please fix this EAComment

They've done a lot of things this year. It's looks like they're putting in a solid effort; that's more than I can say for they effort put into Madden 11. They've brought over a lot of the things from HC09, and they've listened to the community by addressing the suction and tumble weed tackles; however, it has to be polished. DPP has the potential to be revolutionary; no football game has ever tried to capture the intangibles, but the ratings in the past have meant jack, so DPP won't meant jack if the ratings don't.
And don't worry, the Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins will all be buying into the hype soon enough.

Not sure, I love what I have read about franchise mode. As a huge fan of NFL HC, it's music to my ears.
That being said, I would say I am cautiously optimistic. I am hopeful it is, but am certainly not sold.Comment

Even if the gameplay only received marginal improvements, it would STILL be the Madden I've been waiting for because of all the Franchise improvements.
That's not to say that there aren't MANY other improvements to be made.Last edited by ConnSKINS26; 08-03-2011, 01:44 PM.Comment

Not the Madden, or Football game for that matter, that I have been waiting for, no.
Looks better than previous efforts."You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."Comment

I don't think it's a problem of a lack of effort from the developers. I simply think that there have not been enough developers hired to get everything accomplished, so they have had to pick and choose. Likewise they have not been given enough funds to work with, so again they have had to pick and choose.Comment

I don't even think it's this. I don't think you can solve app. issues by simply throwing resources and money at them. I think that can be counterproductive. Look at NFL2k series. They had a fraction of the manpower and resources EA did. I think they had a better core vision for what they wanted the game to be, and went for it, Metacritic ratings be damned.
In EA's case, I think a lot of it has to do with the direction they guys upstairs want to go and the focus of who to aim the game and market the game for.
I also think the relatively short dev cycle hurts them. I think we'd all be better off with a 2 year dev cycle, so that they can get all the features they want in to the game, and get them in properly. A pipe dream I know.Comment

I think the game has a shot at being very good. It looks solid enough in the videos, and with a settings tweak here and a slider change there, who knows.All ties severed...Comment

Re: What do u guys think? U think, finally this is the Madden we been waiting 4?
I feel good every year, It's always the same. The past 3 years it just seems for me I've expected Madden to be great and better every new year. With suction out I feel its gonna be great! And I expect OCs to be a great new feature!Comment

Re: What do u guys think? U think, finally this is the Madden we been waiting 4?
Yeah I completely agree. I actually study organizational psychology, so I know exactly what you're talking about here. It obviously needs to be a combination of things, but I honestly do get the impression that the there simply aren't enough devs and there aren't enough resources to get everything done. Obviously though all the money and developers in the world isn't going to get anything accomplished without effective leadership and good strategy.Comment

I read to many posts that are flat out wrong. Making updates with all that franchise and presentation mean nothing if your gameplay blows. As long as this gameplay remains the same this game will never get better.Comment
