March 21st, 2011 -- The Day The Madden NFL 12 PR Push Begins
We all know that here at The Gaming Tailgate the focus tends to fall more on NCAA Football than Madden NFL--for any number of reasons--but the PR push for Madden NFL 12 is beginning tomorrow, apparently in partnership with ESPN. Just wanted to create this thread ahead of time so that people can post links--and pictures or video if we get any media--here as the information is sent out tomorrow.
Some "leads" on where the PR information will show up, courtesy of Twitter in chronological order:

Looks like we're getting an entry from Jon Robinson on the ESPN Gamer Blog--which is where the first NCAA Football 12 screenshot was featured last week--as well as some coverage on TV as well. Based on the quote from Anthony Stevenson--one of the EA SPORTS PR guys--and the ESPN First Take quote, it wouldn't surprise me to see some Madden NFL 12 stuff at 10AM EST on ESPN2.
