Madden NFL 12 at E3 2011
E3 2011 is here and Madden NFL 12 is part of a superstar lineup from EA SPORTS that includes SSX, NHL 12, FIFA 12 and NCAA Football 12. We want to get you all caught up on all the news and info that’s already out there for each title. This way, when you go diving into the sea of E3 news about your favorite EA SPORTS titles, you’ll already have pieces of the puzzle in place. Think of this story as your E3 home as we’ll be updating it with all of the exclusive news and insider info we’re allowed to give you.
Madden NFL 12 is only holding onto a few precious bits of info at this point. We’ve already heard all about the new cameras, cheerleaders, 3D grass, collision system, custom playbooks, Franchise mode and Superstar mode so what else is there to talk about? Plenty…..but nothing we can talk about before E3.
Of all the revelations about Madden NFL so far the upgrades to Franchise mode have a special place in our hearts. Scouring the internet for feedback from the most loyal and most haterish Madden NFL fans has led to an avalanche of “little things” being added to the mode that take it one step closer to the real thing. Free agency in the Madden NFL 12’s Franchise mode is a completely wild experience that will force you to evaluate your team heading into free agency and then quickly move to put in the highest bid on the players you want. It’s like you’re on a timed shopping spree, with only seconds to grab all of your favorite candy at the sweet shop. Only there are 31 other people in there with you doing the same thing and if you don’t know which aisle has your favorite treat, you’ll be stuck with those leftover marshmallow things from last Easter. Yeah, it’s kind of like that but with video game football players.
You must do your homework when it comes to scouting. Too many other decisions and off season moves depend on your familiarity with available rookie talent. As you’ll learn at E3, many things change over the course of a football season and Franchise mode is all about managing your players through all of that change.
We’ll have much more on Madden NFL 12 during E3 including exclusive video content and inside access with our 24-Minute Challenge. Next week Madden NFL 12 will have its biggest moment in the spotlight On Wednesday June 8 at 11AM PDT/2PM EDT join us for the ‘Madden NFL 12 24-Minute Challenge’ where we’ll answer your questions (via Twitter and Facebook) about Madden NFL 12 within 24 minutes. FB comments with the most ‘likes” and Twitter questions that get retweeted with the #easportse3 hashtag will be in the pool of potential questions that we’ll take to the producers/devs.

For now set your DVR and alarm clock because on Monday June 6 at 1230pm PT/330pm ET, Spike TV and EA.com are broadcasting the EA press briefing in its entirety.
