Multiplat Madden 12

[essendon16flags]

Are you gonna bye the new Madden game?

there is all new collision system, presentation is the best there has been with all 32 team entrances, broadcast cameras, lifelike 3D grass, and dynamic time-of-day.

hopefully franchise & my player mode inproves heaps because if so looks like it's gonna be a good game.

Not sure, I went on a Madden streak from 04 - 09 on at least one console, but usually two. 2004 (still my favorite, and most played Madden game other than Madden 93) i had it on ps2 and pc, 2005 ps2 - pc, 2006 pc & 360. I stuck with the 360 version for 07 - 09, skipped 2010 as i basically didn't feel the upgrade from 08/09 was worth it.

With that being said, i got Madden 11 on release (alternate console versions once again), funny thing is that much like a WWE game in recent years.... i stopped playing it within a few weeks. I have to get back into it at some stage, to make the purchase(s) more worthwhile.

I don't really care for lifelike grass, rather an awesome franchise mode than grass.

Major disappointment was playing franchise mode in 11 then realising you couldn't change sides once you've started. Back in the 04, 05 versions, the best part was taking over the worst club in the league then turning them into a dynasty. It gets stale dominating every year as one team.

I'll definately get it, i always do, the only one iv'e missed since 04 was '10-it really is a quality game, has its' flaws but when compared to AFL live (yes i know it has a ridiculous budget compared-doesnt mean i can't say its better) it is really a well put together game with fantastic finish and presentation.

Plus im insanely passionate about the NFL

 

[hayes]

It's about time they got the grass right. Way overdue IMO.

 

[Runk]

I will not 'BUY' it.

 

[hayes]

Any word on whether they're trying to fix play action passing? It's frustrating that arguably the deadliest weapon on offense is useless because you get tackled before you even fake the hand off.

Man, it's all about reading the D and catching them off guard, there is nothing wrong with it at all-if you time it right in the game it'll pull off big gains. PM me if you genuinely think it's impossible and I'll give some tips.

PM sent. Appreciate it.

Well I got 11 but I do get bored of Madden pretty quickley, NBA 2K comes out and all the other sports games get the boot sadly.

Although this lifelike grass has got me keen!
Just imagine the things you can do with kinect! Walking barefoot on your virtual grass, the wonders of the future!

 

[justlookingaround]

It's weird that this year is all about presentation and an all around polished game but they decide to go with the most simple and unattractive cover in years!

 

[exe ex machina]

As we wait for Madden 12 to drop, here's something to get into the mood....a highlights package of GG's Raiders plays in online Madden 10 and 11 to the sounds of some cool rocking beats.

I would find it far less noteworthy of my time if the 2012 season doesn't even get underway.

But like many have pointed out the lack of growth this game has displayed over the years has just about tested all my patience.

 

[exe ex machina]

Backbreaker is the future. Have you tried it? A bit of a learning curve and adaption to it, but it's so much more fun. Also, All-Pro Football 2K8 is still a keeper.

 

[MarcusP2]

I won't buy another Madden game until there is a real Superstar mode.

 

[hayes]

Any updates on the grass?

This. Though with as there is no competition they can just keep churning out the same game unfortunately

Though if this grass is as good as they say it is, Im in

 

[Jabso]

I remember ESPN football had a first person mode. It was a bit rough but I think gridiron is a sport it could work for. You won't see Madden taking those kind of risks.

 

[lyall]

Yep I remember ESPN 2k5 back on PS2, probably would have to say that was my favourite NFL game

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Im just hoping for some realistic hand towel animations right down to the smallest fibre

 

[arkie]

I'll be getting it for sure! I play in a franchise called MaddenBlokes which is really fun. If it wasn't for that and that fact that I really love American Football then I probably wouldn't bother.

 

[tomatosauceling]

MaddenBlokes is good fun. The league is a bit quieter now with about 20 active players but should shoot up with M12 about to come out.

 

[hird+lloyd=legends]

100% buying it, always do

I was ready to pre-order Madden 12, but the other night I put in Madden 10 (given to me by a mate) and didn't even start a game. Now leaning towards saving my $60 and getting NHL 12 instead.
