Post your Madden 12 Impressions - (Official)

NCAA had custom + aues n u know what happened every book wad full of ish from tip sites. Every play is a money play etc..

If that is what fun is for some. U seriously gotta rethink it...

Sure u might make a legit custom book but 99% are gonna take nething good off tje net n put it in their book

People are going to cheese to win either way, separate issue. Glitches are a separate issue also. If you're going to use glitches to win you don't need custom playbooks to do it and plays being ''money plays'' are a separate issue from custom playbooks also. Glitches, money plays and people using overly effective plays to win have been a part of madden since game 1. The problem is EA even has a lot of you guys thinking they way they do now... instead of making it right, let's just break it and ruin it for legit people. Instead of tackling each glitch or overly effective play individually, let's just not allow people to have full control over the plays they call. I call BS. The saddest part is that most people just keep on buying the game and never make a stand so why would they change there way of doing business? Well, most hard core fans will buy it regardless that much is true, but madden sales were way down last year and for 6 months now I thought they were countering that with what EA even admitted was the "most asked for feature" over the years, that of course being custom playbooks. Come to find out they didn't even do that right. Let's see what there sales are like this year after misleading people with that one for months only to find out it's a broken feature.

Well since it's the only semi- real simulation football game that is sponsored by the NFL and the NFL Players Association it will continue to sell. The only competition Madden 12 has is it's own older versions. I agree with you.. Glitches suck and players exploit every glitch, cheat and advantage. Wish EA would acknowledge and update but there already on to next years madden 13.. Why didn't release mid August??? Could do online update to get current info???

I'll have a PCB for online hopefully they work better than ncaa

i have only played the demo but it seemed to me the lbs jumped really high, compared to last years game and picked off passes intended for someone 15-20 yards downfield .. did they adjust this in the final game or is this something that we have to get used to??

I run the cardinals playbook and it has been junk on madden 12. Allot of the stuff that worked in 11 doesn't fly in this game so looks like not counting they took out the stong I twin TE, that rips. I also can't pass for sh!t, used the raiders, cowboys, and even went against my better judgement and tried the Eagles. Anyone else having passing issues or is it something that labbing is going to take care of? I like the game just some adjustments needed

playing madden 12earlyrelease, and.....man coverage is trash

idk what team your playing with but ive found it to be good

Man coverage and zone are both better in madden 12! that was my biggest complaint on 11, so i'am happy....

Madden 11 offense still works in 12, the boat is still money, plus the strong close plays that got added to dallas's pb the hb angle route play and y-trail!! i played 3 quarters of a game in strong close and won earlier, no need to run nothing else!

The defense in madden 12 is what will seperate the men from the boys, whoever has heat and can confuse will be winning alot! reason being is face throws and the qb not scrambling back 30 yards and still throwing dots are gone, facethrows still there but less effective...

Also gun passing is back, you can get rid of the ball alot quicker out of the gun, and i havent really even noticed bad snaps at all, i just played for 10 hours and only remember a couple bad snaps, not like last year when they happened 3-5 times a game....

i like seattle's o-book as a sleeper book, it has great under center passing

well had the walmart opening tourny today... it was my first look at the game..
thoughts,,

my defense with 155 overloads was straight fire.. i was screaming and dropping back into coverage D all tourny and probably won me the tourny overall

Offense could get anything consistent started i was running strong close and i could pound it here there 3-4 and bust a big one.. or get blown up for -2 yards.. super frustrating

plus every single person i played was running strong close and it wasnt budging to well against 155..

Picked up 12 today and all I can say is that the computer seems to be alot smarter..LOL. Like a member had mentioned the LB jump and swat balls all over the place. Alot of plays that are killer in 11' definitely is sh!t right now on 12. Heck, i cant even get any A gap heat..LOL..
