I've only had one by a safety but I haven't gotten one myself.
Now that the demo has been out for a week, we've added a poll to get your thoughts on the demo.
Voted Love it
Again I was looking forward to the I wouldn't call little but not major features sort of speak. Such as "shading" and the removal of suction both hits and blocking.
After reading and hearing about Collision Detection and DPP I was eager to see what it was like and how it was implemented. Can definitely say with what I've experience thus far I'm pleased and looking forward to release. Though I already was prior to playing the demo
I voted liked it. If I had a better camera angle I would have voted loved it.
I'm curious about the in season scouting of college prospects in dynasty mode. I wonder if it will have the same addiction level as NCAA? I doubt it but Madden desperately needed something to do between weeks as an added attraction.
I do too. I hope it is upgraded.
All you had to do was scout a player and not have to look back in 6 weeks.
I voted love it, but I have found a few things that could prove to be really annoying online. Only time will tell whether that turns out to be the case or not, but I'm still going to say this will be the best online football video game this generation.
Voted liked it only because I need to hear commentary and it would have been nice to build a gameplan like last year. However, I fully expect that I will LOVE the game if franchise mode plays as advertised.
I love the demo, for obvious reasons already stated. As far as commentary goes, it's hard to simulate what Gus Johnson brings to the game. He is very solid as what he does, but he possesses the factors that make you riveted to the screen and that's hard to convey on a video game. It's much easier to bring Al Michaels and John Madden to the game, they translate perfectly. I think the MNF crew could seamlessly do the same thing IMO.
Liked it but could end up loving the retail version.
One thing I haven't understood in the criticism of the cpu QBs scrambling that I've read on some sites. I like it and I don't think it's overdone. A lot of guys just want to run Cover 2 Man, take away all the deep routes and leave the middle of the field wide open as they did in the past because cpu QBs never took advantage of it. Cutler and Rodgers both scramble about 3-4 times a game at close to 5 yards a pop in real life. And if you keep running that same defense they should take advantage when the coverage is blanketing the WRs. People need to call more zones and LB spies if they don't want the QB to scramble. I've never seen them scramble too often but I also pay attention to it.
Completely agree Rudy.
Minor note.
During the challenging of a play, the view cuts away from the head coaches at the time the referee announces the decision.
It was like this in Madden 11. The reactions should be seen. It would add emotion to the game.
The biggest issue with commentary has been the engine itself not who is commentating. They have been using the same commentary engine since the PS2 era basically. This year they invested in a new commentary engine, but the benefits of it won't truly be seen until next year. The new engine is the same one FIFA uses and what they did was they made some new commentary on the new engine for pregame, qb's taking the field, starting lineups, and DPP. The play by play and pronunciation of player names is still from the old engine, but they will be redoing it for Madden 13. So expect improved commentary based on what videos I have seen in Madden 12 and expect really great commentary in Madden 13 with the new play by play and everything running on the new speech engine.
They also have toned Gus down quite a bit this year so he says things like "he's tackled at the seventeen yard line" instead of ''at the SEVENTEEN". This gives the commentary a better flow and doesn't sound quite as patchy as 11, but it still sounds that way at times. Again this is based on what I have seen of Madden 12 videos. I'm a big commentary guy so I'm excited about Madden 12 and anxious to hear the new commentary lines and stuff this year, but I"m stoked about the new commentary engine and everything for Madden 13. They are doing with commentary for Madden 13 what they did with presentation for Madden 12. The work they did on presentation with cameras, stat overlays, team intros, etc.. was actually done during Madden 11 development, but we didn't really see it until Madden 12. Madden 13 commentary will work the same way.
Do you think Custom Stadium Sounds should also be a part of Madden 13?
The only way to come close to replicating true atmosphere is to turn control over to the user.
I would love to see Custom Stadium Sounds in Madden, but I think those songs and sounds are copyrighted. That's why in Madden 11 they had to go out and buy the team fight songs and stuff, which from what I have seen in the videos all the ones that were in 11 are still in 12, and hopefully they have added some new ones this year. Especially the ones that were supposed to be in last year, like Gridiron Heroes(Lions fight song).
Man, I really don't like the amount of warping interceptions I'm seeing. I can honestly say it's my number one annoyance in NCAA and Madden, and there isn't a remotely close second.
I think Interceptions should get redone. Besides a few rare INTs, Most of the INTs are WR Catch Animations. Most of the INTs can be pulled off by a WR. THere needs to be more jump INTs. I think it comes from QBs not putting any touch on ball. Either it is a Lob or Bullet. In NCAA, It is hard to stop your momentum, strafe, and get into position to pick off a pass.
I must say I prefer the feel of passing much better in Madden. Improved zone coverage has certainly hurt my already weak passing skills in both games but the outside areas of the field appear more open in Madden. I can throw more outs and curls than I can in NCAA. I love how the passing speeds are toned down a little in Madden. It makes it a little tougher on offense but a lot more enjoyable on defense as I feel I can make plays on the ball. I've missed that feeling.
