I know Christian has been hard on Madden in the past, so, this is encouraging to say the least.

Damn sounds good. After skipping 11 and getting NCAA, I think I'll be doing the opposite this year.

Doesn't it feel like its an every other year for both titles. Meaning one year Madden gets big upgrades while NCAA is very similar to the year before (10) than the following year its vice versa (11) . I still buy both though

Yeah. I used to buy both every year until I tested my will power last year and passed. Really enjoyed NCAA 11 and I'm glad I skipped Madden 11. Madden 12 is starting to look like the game it's supposed to be.

Idk for me, NCAA just looks so blah compared to Madden this year. I'm really not looking forward to it at all. I'm sure it plays solid for the most part, but I'm really not impressed with how the game looks.

IMO both of these titles still need work, but Madden has won me over so far. I just hope next gen Tiburon builds engines that are more capable. Seems like both games are just missing the little animations. I don't know if the engine isn't capable, or if EA just doesn't see them as necessary, but it would go so much further to help the "look" and feel of the game. EA is definitely getting closer though, finally.....

Re: OS at E3: Madden NFL 12 Preview

Well it's looking like I'm getting both NCAA and Madden this year. I was originally planning on just getting NCAA, but it sounds like this is going to be a very good year for Madden. Bought Madden last year and played it about 3 times and went back to NCAA which I played from July until MLB the show came out. I'm very excited about this years crop of football games. I'm still keeping my fingers and toes crossed though.

After each play the camera will swing to different television-like viewpoints, highlighting a player as he celebrates or huddles up with his team -- complete with slick new stat banners. The result is a game that skews the boundaries between a video game and what you would expect to see on a television broadcast better than any football game before it
The presentation sounds like it has made huge strides, from camera angles to stat banners. This adds a lot to making a game great. Although it still seems like commentary is going to be stale.

I was also lucky enough to witness the game's touted Dynamic Player Performance in full effect during my hands-on time. In the same game mentioned above, Ryan Matthews was able to rip off a 55-yard TD scamper minutes into the first quarter. During his next series of carries, he ran like a man possessed, bouncing off of would-be tacklers and breaking free for extra yardage. Matthews DPP classification allowed him to absorb more contact since he started off hot, and it should be incredibly interesting to see how player performance impacts games and seasons.
I have a feeling DPP is probably going to be overdone. I hope it's not, but I am a bit skeptical at the moment, and with brand new features always having faults, that's fine with me feeling that way. If it works like advertised, we are in for a real treat here.

In you observation, are the 20 yard drops, and their effectiveness, due to the difficulty level, or it is like that regardless of the difficulty level ?
