Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[SA1NT401]

Played 4 games of the demo...

Players look great...some a bit too big, but hey, its a video game.

Sliders are nice for the demo...might play around with them later.

Slow speed is the only way to play imho.

Getting pressure with my DL (packers) is too easy...but that's what sliders are for.

Players have weight to them.

Tacking is improved just like NCAA.

Like the kick meter.

Halftime " show" sucks....

Grass looks awesome and I live the grass stains on the uniforms.

Might actually pick it up since I have $52 credit at gamestop.

All in all....pretty good. Like the tidbits they give u about franchise, players traits etc....some if that I wasn't aware of since I wasn't following madden this year.

so far my biggest gripe is players still let go of the block as soon as you get there, or if you wanna call it defenders shedding the block, it always happens as soon as your coming up on them with the ball carrier.

The real question -- can you actually throw on this game as compared to NCAA?

Yep, super LBs are gone. The trajectory of intermediate passes have more of an arch, and you can throw it over the LB and it will get to the receiver before the safety can break it up. In NCAA you pretty much have to have a lane.

Theres so many new cut scenes between plays, and lots of player interaction, I love the little things.

Use sliders. Choose a slower game speed. Right now, I'm much happier with Madden 12 than I am NCAA 12.




Already been stated why there's no commentary. It's in order to get presentation elements in the game and keep the demo size down.

So is this just for the demo?

Couple of things I HATE:

1. Madden still has the dumb camera shot when a team is leaving the huddle and walking to the line of scrimmage. I HATE HATE HATE having to hit a button every single play of the game to get them to the LOS at a normal speed and not slow motion. In year's past, this could not be turned off and it looks like it won't be turned off this year either. LAME.

2. Audibles. Why have a different audible system than NCAA? I HATE Madden's audibles. In NCAA and previous versions of Madden (before last year), it was quick and easy to show blitz or change a play but that is not the case in Madden anymore.

Both of these issues are deal breakers for me and I will NOT be purchasing Madden this year. I will play NCAA much more.

NCAA blows Madden out of the water.

We are all entitled to our opinions regardless of how far fetched they may seem

First post here, and sorry if this has already been mentioned/asked; but, is anyone else not getting any commentary? Their are no announcers for me and even the refs don't speak, just move their lips, when there is a penalty.

Thanks.

No commentary in the demo only. The size was to big, to fit in the audio. It will be in the final version.

Clutch mode seems to be working. Woodson just turned into a beast in my game and basically took out every receiver on his side of the field in the last two minutes of the game.

However, something is definitely wrong about the deep zones as defensive backs are way too passive. I had the Packers complete a 60-something yard pass to Jordy Nelson, who was surrounded by two passive defenders. The receiver stood and awaited the pass, while my defenders waited even more patiently for him to catch it, so they could tackle him - this needs to be fixed as this issue was also in some of the videos that were released after e3.

Yep. In my post on page 10 I said I had the same problem with the DBs deep. I threw deep to Donald Driver 3 times and he caught each one of them in the corner of the end zone (all 3 were 40-60 yarders.) Hopefully it is fixed.

Absolutely seems harder than Madden 11 (I've been playing 11 nonstop the past week or so).

What are the overtime rules in the NFL now? lol I just let the Bears tie it up to see what would happen, and then in OT, the Bears kicked a field goal. I then went down the field and tied it with a field goal. Then the time ran out in OT with the Bears getting stopped at the 12 yardline, and all of sudden it puts another 5 minutes on the board and the Bears have it at my 12. They kick a field goal. Game over.

OMG some im the Bears, Packers drove down with less then a min left in 1st half, they at like the 5 yard line, and Rodgers throws it up to Jennings, and he barley out jumps tillman for the catch an TD, nice ark on the pass, look like a real life jump ball, im loving this game, I know it was bad for me but it was great to see that.

Cant say the demo and is better or worse than m11...New animations, a different feel to the game, and I think less arcadey. Seems you wont be able to zig zag your way against the dumb cpu AI in m12, but we'll see..

Still this issue needs to be addressed and this has been in every madden game with no fix. It is the ability to throw the ball at any point in time and your receiver will adjust...

If you call a streak, you shouldnt be able to throw the ball right away after the snap, the route is a streak downfield. You shouldnt be able to throw the ball to a WR when his route is a circle route before he is turning...He shouldnt even turn around because he hasnt finished his route. There needs to be an implementation of route running awareness for receivers and the receivers have to finish their route...
