    Thats it in a nutshell....

    EA has finally brought back the old school Madden level of fun.... and while Im going to enjoy it for the most part, its still 2011 and we should have more



    I just hope the game isn't littered with Bugs/Glitches....

    If we can't have truly innovative animations,physics, commentary, ect.....then you damm well better make sure what we do get runs relatively smooth <label for="rb_iconid_4"></label>

    No more of this Wait until the Patch in Nov/Dec for a decently functional title business
    Here We Go Steelers!!! Here We Go!!!

      2. No, what's killing this forum is the free pass and benefit of the doubt EA gets on everything. What's killing this forum is the mob mentality around here that saying these games are anything but garbage is a lie and is frowned upon. Stuff like that is killing this forum.
      Lol @ 2. There seems to be a split among users on this game, hell, at the roundtable some of the writers were really brutal in their impressions. You couldnt be more off base if you tried.

          Sorry man but my response to that is exactly the same as my post you quoted. For me personally I would say 09 surpassed it, but that is my own personal opinion. I have my issues with the Madden series but I don't feel its "garbage" as you claim nor do the majority of the people at OS. Do the people here want this or that to improve?... Yes but they make their gripe in a reasonable manner.

            Maybe he will learn the agreeing to disagree is OK, in the long run it provides much needed perspective.

              Wow this thread got derailed quickly.

              Maybe it's because I didn't really play Madden 11 that much, but this years demo felt really good to me. There are a few things that could use tweaking but the game looks like it will be solid come 8/30. However I will still be waiting at least a week to buy it after buying the buggy mess that is NCAA 12 week 1 and regretting it.

                Agreed, and I'm still playing Madden 11 even now after I got the demo (only because I've become so entrenched in my franchise despite the bare bones mode that it was lol). Madden 12's gameplay is much better though.

                    I won't mention it but contact them and see what you can get for me. You may be able to get like a stick of gum or something.

                      I think it's funny that 68% of people voted on the poll that the demo was either good or great, and yet almost all of the comments I've read about it from others give off the smell of average at best and mostly bad.

                        positive comments are always outnumbered by negative... In anything not just video games. One person will comment multiple times how much they hate something.

                          It's a given that unhappy people are going to be the most vocal about their feelings. Some of it is about Madden 12 specifically, and some of it is about their legacy anger toward the franchise.

                          Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                            I heard they would only give OS the stick of gum if we took JaMarcus Russell as well. That's why you're still here.

                                To me it just looked like a horribly timed throw.
