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

**Nims4353** · 08-12-2011, 03:17 AM

these are the three small things that I want madden to put in the game
1. have players actually wear mouth guards.
2. have players wear just shorts, cleats, pads, helmets and a practice jersey to practice. It's stupid how they practice in full game gear.
3. Have the option to save a game and then resume it later.

OK I have played the demo more and I can't believe people are saying this is the best Madden ever!! It's not even close to Madden 2005 and the last gen games. I have NCAA also and I am not the biggest college football fan and i'm a huge NFL fan so believe me I want to like Madden.. I just can't. The game play is not anywhere as smooth as NCAA. I do like the fact that Madden has more weight to the players but it cancels itself out with how bad the players move. It's also way to fast! It look's and play's nothing like real football. I will say the presentation puts NCAA to shame. Madden looks beautiful with the stadium entrances and replays but as soon as your playing it looks worse then NCAA if you ask me.. Maybe not the player models but the animations and the action on the field. It's light years ahead of 11, no questions.. 11 was the WORST Madden of all time. The only Madden I liked this gen is 10. This game is OK and I'm still hoping I get in to it but NCAA plays 100x better!!

I would like Madden to add the Break Tackle rating in the future. It would add depth in run game. It would help for RBs who are power backs but are not known for trucking or stiff arm.
What does the toughness rating actually do

i think the toughness rating determines how long a player stays out of the game when he is injured. If a player has a high toughness rating, he'll only stay out for a few plays, but if he has a low toughness rating he might stay out for the entire game.

And before i hear "you can change speed in the menus" I know that but I only play online ranked games and you won't be able to tune any of those settings!! Also I think your forced to use strat pad online but I can't remember that?

Really no point in posting this, over 1,000 replies..

Pros:
Tackling is awesome.
Presentation AMAZING!!
Graphics were good.
Just feels GOOD playin the game, much better than Madden 11.

cons:
Feels like there isn't much weight to the players..weird.
Punt returning was a pain, no blocking at all

2 Questions:

1) Seems whenever I try to hit-stick someone, my defender misses and 'whifs'. For the hit-stick to work does the defender's trait for big hit's have to be YES?

2) Like I said, I don't feel the weight...When I run w/ hester its the same as running w/ forte. What threshold do u guys use? I use 25 on the 'slow' setting

Gave the Demo another go, and the demo has pushed me further away unfortunately.

Again I do not like the results when tackles take place. The over feel of the game feels wrong to me.

I'm not going to go into details, because with so many things being said. Im sure what I feel is wrong has been mentioned, or maybe not and that's ok anyway.

even with how the demo has made me feel I will still give the retail version a try. I will just barrow a copy first, or buy the EA season ticket. Madden isn't the only game I want to demo before purchasing, so maybe the ticket would be a better decision.

Anyways what has also pushed me further away is after playing the demo. I jumped on to playing NCAA 12, and NCAA 12 felt much better. I actaully starting appreciating NCAA 12 a lot more after playing the Madden demo.

Hey, bud how is it going.

The demo had the opposite affect on me. Pushed me closer to Madden. I think it's because I know college is buggy and waiting for a patch.

I just downloaded the demo...played one game. How do you perform swim moves/power moves with the d-line. I could not figure this out, and I couldnt find it in the controls?

Um hit the Right Stick (left/right) for a swim/rip move left or right. That's the only move's I know, don't do bull rushes..

I believe you flick the right stick down for a bull rush or move it left or right for swim moves.

Best demo of Madden I've played in a long time. Got some quirks, those clipping issues really need to be fixed, they are blatently bad. But overall, game has a nice feel. And the graphics aside from the zombie eyes, this game looks incredible. Looking forward to final product. 8 out of 10 for demo.

**schmit_95** · 08-12-2011, 11:40 AM

I think the demo is same old thing. Shiny new paint, same busted engine.
One thing though, please excuse me if this is a "dumb" question, but why is 35 the perfect threshhold speed number? If you want the greatest distance between speed players, wouldnt zero be the best number? Truthfully I dont even think the thing works, just my opinion though.

And also, when the hell are we gonna get pro bowl helmets? Not just the A or N for the confrences? Jeez PS@ had that in 2001!!
