Downloaded the demo this morning...
The demo is stripped there's supposed to be no commentary etc, but I don't like the new presentation. They switched all the camera angles to what you'd see on a TV broadcast and it's on you whether to switch it back.
Kicking went from the joystick (which I liked) back to tapping the A button but the timing sucked and overall it's hard to get the accuracy just right.
I've been playing NCAA 2012 and honestly I like the feel of that game more than Madden 2012. The gangtackles are kind of glitchy, you'll get hit by one guy and then another guy will hit you and it's like sped up and you go flying to the ground superfast. I wish they could put the little motion capture suits on players during a real NFL game to get the animations more realistic, but at least they added new tackles and movements this year.
I think they should do that every year, it's better than it was but I wish there were more 1 handed catch animations, more sideline and endzone toe taps and drags, bobbled QB snaps or stumbles and ground stiff arms.
The only cool thing I saw was the new features available in franchise mode. They seemed to have made it a little more fun to build your franchise so that's cool. It includes player rating changes after every game...some players are unpredictable and can go on hot and cold streaks. Free agency bidding is supposed to be more fun, it'd be cool if they had a live draft where your player goes up to the podium and there's a fan reaction. Basically I just need Mel Kiper integrated into Madden because his hair has 99 toughness, 99 stamina, and 99 durability.
Browns ratings are a bit iffy...TJ and Joe are 85 and 86 respectively. Granted he's done for the season Reggie Hodges was only a 62 (wtf?) before he went down. Marecic while a 4th rounder should be better than a 67. Vickers was a 90 and granted FB isn't the most important position on the field there is no way Vickers is 23 rating points better than Marecic. I think the ratings people are dyslexic as Delhomme is a 73 and should definitely be a 37.
Anyone else play it yet?
PS Aaron Rodgers has a fucking cannon :chuckles: let's just say A-Rod and Jennings put da team on dey back doe
