Madden NFL 12 Blog - First Look at Gameplay

[adub88]

I'm really trying to temper my excitement here, because I've been let down before. I returned Madden '09 & '10 and comepletely passed on Madden '11. So far I like what I see and have read. I wanna come back home EA, make us proud, and keep up the hard work.

I think the most we'll get is the full version of those teasers that came out recently.

My biggest problems im having with Madden 11 as far as gameplay that needed to get fix

*WR getting bump and run 40 yards down
*Man Coverage not being able to stop the wheel route
*Force to blitz players because your dline can't get pressure
*Passes in the flats not being covered even when running cover 2 or cover 3
*The success rate of jump balls in Madden 11 is rediculous (if I had a player that was over 6 foot 2 no matter what there rating was I can win 80% of the jump pall situations)
*Make the offensive lineman awareness mean something to many unblock players
*Speed shouldn't mean everything!!!!!! The Oakland Raiders is one of the top used teams in Madden and it's only because of there speed and they dominate. I feel if a Wr can't run routes, have a bad release of the line, and a horrible awareness that should show on the field to counter the speed. I am in one league where all my conerbacks speed is over 93 and not one of them have a overall rating over 70 and I shut down teams. It shouldnt work like that


Looks like they are fixing some of these issues hope they take care of the rest

Co-sign. Let me see some more gameplay vids or a demo. I'm just not falling for the hype this time.

Now, without the suction, he can get to the QB easier.

Hope you are right, but until I hear it CONFIRMED from a neutral party that has seen it in action/played it, I will have my doubts.
