I have begun working on sliders. They are for All-Pro with 15-minute quarters.Quote:

Anyone know if this is getting a day one patch and if so, what it entails?
There is a day one patch. Justin Dewiel tweeted that to me August 25th when I asked but he did not answer my follow up question of what would be in the patch.
"yea, there's a day one title update like normal."
well, i took the dive. Just went to best buy and traded in $60 dollars worth of old PS2 games for this madden..at least that means its basically free LOL
Really enjoying the game thus far. I downloaded the NEW rosters and started a chise with my Raiders. Currently we are 2-0 in preseason. Based on my starters I should be 0-2 as my starting offense has been terrible. Trent Edwards has been lights out so much to the point that he may earn the starting job. I am enjoying the cut days as well however, the cpu doesn't properly put in backups ( for example in game 2.... first half team one second half team two... I had to put in my own 3rd stringer etc.).
There are some issues though:
presentation is awful.... one of the worst in sports games
why is there only 20 second run-off??? we used to have an option for 15, 25, etc
cpu running is pretty sporadic
some types of passes are darn near impossible to complete while others are money
play action and screens leave a lot to be desired
lots of cpu injuries but very few hum injuries
new kick screen for FG's is awful... hard to tell if you make a kick or not!
Overall though, my biggest question.... WHY REMOVE THE EXTRA POINT???? Something is better than nothing. Overall, the game is a blast BUT there is no longer immersion. Love it or hate it, removing the EXTRA POINT was a MASSIVE mistake. Don't like it? Fine, skip it but don't remove it as many of us out there enjoyed it and watched it every single week.!!!
Other than those gripes, Madden 12 is a great offering thus far.
I thought presentation was one of the major selling points this year ?
how is tackling ?
Right, but I thought we were talking about personnel then, not offensive style. I guess I don't watch enough of their games, 'cause it seems to me that they're out of shotgun often. But I may be wrong about that.Quote:

You can push a button--I believe it's R2--to change the view on field goals back to the "classic" camera.Quote:

I liked the presentation a lot in the demo. But I don't think it was a coincidence that there was no commentary.Quote:

So, what you're really saying is that the commentary is awful. Not presentation on the whole. Yes?Quote:

My biggest gripe is that there aren't separate sliders for User and CPU Special Teams. I know it's been that way for years, but come on. I doubt I'll ever miss a kick and if I lower accuracy too much, the CPU will never make one. Sigh.
Also, not being able to adjust ST sliders in Practice Mode is really annoying.

I know this was IN last year but I can't find it this year. I could see it blocked out in the demo but I can't find it in my downloaded game. Which section is it in for OFFLINE FRANCHISE??? Many other people are struggling finding it as well.Quote:

Sigh. It looks like Madden has found a way to make sure that I will never play a season on Franchise Mode. No sliders, no settings, no steelerfan. :down:

Yes although I will check out my retail copy tomorrow. Not having played Madden last year may make the commentary easier to take.Quote:

Same goes for both teams not sharing camera angles and stuff like that. Some stuff just seems so simple to put in the game and yet it doesn't happen.
Wow. If none of that is in the retail game, I'm glad now that Madden has been relegated to holiday purchase status for me. Some of that would/will ruin franchise for me. Sadly, unless some of that stuff is in the retail game or gets patched in at some point, Madden 12 could follow the path of Madden 11 and become an "achievement whore" game for me, with me knocking out the achievements and then shipping it out to Amazon or someplace else for a trade-in a couple days later.
