Reviews: Physics engine is a huge improvement to tackling animations. Create a player mode is fairly excellent. Basically NCAA's. Broadcaster audio is improved. Stabillity may be questionable...
He means it's going to be just like the last 5 maddens that were put out except you're spending $60 on a 2012 roster, enjoy!
I had some crazy things happen because of the new replay. The engine is clearly not polished but this is a demo + 1st year of the engine. Oh no LB jumping 8 feet into the air and picking off my pass with one hand. I'll buy like usual but I had fun playing, something haven't really had playing madden
I played the PS3 demo, I thought it was good. Seemed much the same as last year's game to me though, just a differet interface really. Got me excited though so I cracked open Madden 12 (haven't played it in months), adjusted the Jets roster to add some of the guys we added/lost this offseason including Hill and Coples (had to create them, obviously). So I'm just going to play that instead of splashing down $60.
I wasn't impressed off of first play. I noticed that the D did a much better job of covering the slot guy but then if I threw it anyway the DB wouldn't react to the ball going by him. To me it seems like they fixed a lot of shit that didn't really need fixing. ex: Guess we're back to the stick for kicking instead of pressing A, they now have blue as full health instead of green, the audio/visual overhaul All I want is no more magnet balls going to the players and I don't want players going thru players or balls going thru hands
I only played a couple games and didn't notice this. I didn't have a LB jump 20 feet into the air to pick off my pass. Shocked they actually fixed a problem
I've seen a ton of dropped passed. My guys are wide open in 3rd and short situations and they drop it. Very annoying.
