Five Ways To Make Madden 12 Last One More Week

[rman]

I'm shocked that there are a few guys refusing to get Madden because of editing.

This isn't a dig or talking down to those, I just never expected that to be a staple in Madden. To each his own.

I feel that the Madden 13 ROSTER UPDATE is worth at least $20 alone lol.

Add in the infinite engine, new CCM, new passing scheme, that's another $40. Boom the game is valued to me for those reasons

Good luck to you all staying in 11 or 12 for another year, I hope you have fun.

For those going to 13 on Tuesday at Midnight or getting the pre-release, let's hope it holds up to our standards.

Either way Go Madden.

I've been playing the demo, Madden 13's demo is more exciting to me than the entire Madden 12 game so I no longer attempt to put in into my XBOX.

Been playing FIFA manager mode, and the DEMO a lot.

I'm more shocked that anyone would pay $60 for a first day release sports game, especially madden. You are paying to beta test the game, plain and simple. If you wait until black Friday you can pick it up at $25, plus by then the rosters reflect the current season much better and you have a few patches to boot. Online stays on for a long time, so multi player is not a problem like MLB the show (they shut you off as soon as the new game is released).

EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN THE MADDEN BLACK FRIDAY CLUB!

This would force the developers to release a quality game, not a release now patch later game like the last few years!

Totally agree! We aren't considered customers by EA Sports, we have FREE LABOR. In fact, they make miney off of us. Like you said, EA Sports customers end up paying the company $60 to test the game & tell them all teh bugs & glitches, instead of working them out for themselves & putting out a COMPLETE PRODUCT.

Honestly never cared about editing. Once you get through season 1, it all becomes "fantasy" anyway. I'll be happy with M13 and on the off chance I'm not, M12 will only be $2.99 by January anyway.

Without editing, though, EVERYTHING that you will have after season 1 is going to be a fantasy, as you can't import players - you won't have the correct names, sizes/weights, you won't be able to control every team's draft pick, ratings will be as random as ever, etc. etc. etc. If that's cool with you, then go for it...but it's another prevention of realism for a lot of us.

its hard to make madden last 1 week as a whole, lol

[DPM19]

I will continue to play madden 12 until they bring back player editing, create a team, and imported draft classes, or until I can purchase madden for what its really worth (less than $20)

[ahayes85]

lol mine will last another whole year!! Until they fix the new engine and add normal things like fantasy draft and import draft class. Madden 12 will do just fine! ;

Im still playing it today I got everybody 16 got and trust me it's way more realistic then 16, 15, 25 & 13 will EVER be.

Add me to the camp of who will be sticking with M12. I've already got all rosters set up and ready to go. There's a few players I'll need to switch around (like whoever the Cardinals finally decide is their LT), but for the most part I'm ready and could be well into multiple seasons if I chose to be...because M12 has the customization options to let me do that. I say good luck to everyone going with M13 only because this time next year, you'll be wishing you could change/add/create/edit in the new players to start playing with and get your football fix. You'll be stuck waiting on M14 to hopefully give you the right players and correct ratings you desire, though. Those of us with M12 will have long already had it and will be playing away. True, M12 doesn't have the infinity engine or the new commentary guys or new pass trajectories (things I do like and want)...but the trade off is much more in the favor of continuous replay value whenever I want it.

No offense to anyone hyped for M13, but I do think you should have kept M12 just in case you want early football fixes before your looooonnnnggg wait for M14.

I totally agree with you here is 3 to 4 later and I still have M12 has my choose for Football they completely changed the feel of the game after 12 SMH. #M12Lover

I agree with you and it's 3 to 4 years later I still playing M12.

Re: Five Ways To Make Madden 12 Last One More Week

I'm prepping a long term dynasty on both madden/NCAA 12 and madden/NCAA 07. Both have advantages over current gen but not sure which I will start with.

Re: Five Ways To Make Madden 12 Last One More Week

Sounds crazy I went back and played Madden 12 today and IMO the game looks awesome...then I fired up some old sliders I created and it played better than Madden 13 IMO

I may go back and start a quick season over the summer in Madden 12 as I feel as though I didn't get that much time out of it back at that time.

Hey Playmakers. Do you play the games, watch them or do coach mode? I like to either do cpu vs cpu or coach mode. Could you send me your sliders and settings you are using? I'd like to get back into this game as well. For me, this was better than M25. That's the last Madden I purchased - and it was only because it was super cheap at the time.

Re: Five Ways To Make Madden 12 Last One More Week

So was Madden 12 ever topped, or even matched? A couple of years ago after Madden 25 I posted that '12 was the pinnacle of the series. Then I never got around to playing Madden 15 or 16 as I mainly play NCAA 14 for my football fix.
