    Wow, so Franchise is still a complete waste of time? Thanks EA! I see they did nothing to improve franchise AI or fix the IR glitch that killed your franchise whenever you hit it.

      This is literally the biggest thing I had a problem with I mean how is EA looking at the imports appearance and thinking they look ok??? Guess I gotta wait for Madden 13 *sigh*

        In the next patch and/or tuner update, would it be possible to do something about the deep-ball AI's ability to make a play on the ball? Often times, the defensive back attempts to swat the ball away, but an animation that takes them out of position triggers instead of something more appropriate. I imagine this may go unnoticed to many, but as a 'coach mode' gamer, it is a glaring issue.
        This is another thing that needs to be tweaked. It's starting to get on my nerves because it is so random. I can't find any commonality in what triggers it; fatigue, ratings, etc. Sometimes, my DB will play the ball in the air and swat with perfect timing, other times they'll just stop with his back to the LOS as the ball hangs in the air and watch as the WR turns and leaps for the pass.

          If they are to address the weather issue, why not fix the wind effects. I'm kicking 50 yard FG's with 19 mph wind with ease. The wind in this game has no effect on the projectory of the ball. If it's supposed to be high winds at places like Heinz Field, Soldier Field or Browns Stadium which can have lake-effect winds, kicking should not be as easy. I wish they would address this. I'm glad that they're fixing the rain.

            I am sorry. But this is waaaaay overblown. Have you played it? Meaning not sim through seasons...just play it.

            I have seen some wonky rookie cuts....but nothing game breaking.

            Yes you need 32 team control to get ultra realistic roster management and avoid some CPU mishaps. But overall franchise mode is so much better now than it ever has been on this gen.

            But go over to the NBA 2K12 forum....same crap. Total uproar about wonky cpu AI decision making in Association mode. Same for MLB The Show and on and on and on.


            I am having a blast.

            Too bad the game is "broken" for some.

              I have stopped playing this game, has the issue(maybe not an issue) where the play "Four Verticles" the AI can't defend the inside receiver?

              If there is going to be a cheese play, it should be a 2 yard throw not a 30 yard seem route
              Go Lions, Wings and Wolverines!

                Once it's out of EA's hands, it needs to go through testing and certification at Sony or MS. It's out of EA's hands at this point.

I'm not even talking about getting sacks, I'm talking about getting pressure. Oh well, my expectations have dropped so low it doesn't even matter.
                  Maybe a tuner, Taz, we can hope.

                    PS3 users should be jumping up & down

                    fixing the fiel textures is huge. Hopefully it will be as good as the 360's!

                    Less rain games is awesome!

                    On update #3, just update commentary, fix random pops, and fix the franchise multi season scrubs issue & we got ourselves a game tha FINALLY I can put 2k5 to rest.

                    Madden 13 give us custom stadium music, and better challenge system, & fix the ice skating & I'll be a happy gamer!

                      One of the early Maddens on the Sega Genesis had great wind effects. The wind would actually vary mph through out the game. You actually had to change your gameplan up if it was too windy. You could forget about long bombs or long field goals and even punting was effected. Anyone else remember that ? or was is it just a dream I had ? lol Next gen huh

                        listen i understand where you are coming from with controlling all 32 teams. i do this now, the fact of the matter is that we shouldn't have to do this. the game should work as it is intended or else don't put out the game. if you went to a steakhouse and ordered a steak cooked medium you shouldn't get a steak cooked rare and expect to cook it the rest of the way. you would send it back, and if that couldn't be done you would take your money elsewhere. they say true to the game, bigger deeper etc... well make good on the promises and stop giving us these unfinished products. i'm tired of having to come up with all of these workarounds just to make the game playable. this is ridiculous and it's gone on for too long.

                          rain issue was a must, i just don't get how you can focus on the visual of the field and overlook the visuals of the players on the field with skinny legs, big butts, huge spikey shoulder pads, disproportional bodies.

                            it shouldn't leave there hands until everything looked and played right from the beginning. technically we shouldn't have to worry about patches for issues. there shouldn't be any.

                              I agree. I see no difference between gameplay and graphics/animations. It's so ridiculous seeing the cpu parade out these WRs with linebacker facemasks, elbow pads, no gloves, and giant shoulder pads. Or like this WR I drafted who looked normal except he had the hugest calves of all time.

                                I wonder do they randomize gear for draftees just like they randomize draft classes? Or does some geek actually think some of this stuff looks cool?

                                As for the player proportions and shoulder pads,.........guess well have to wait until next year, at which time something else will be absolutely ridiculous, which well have to wait until the next year to be fixed....and so on and so forth......
