Madden 12 Impressions Thread

the game is awesome. I love the gameplay. I just hate the fact we cant use CPs in community or OF. Playbooks are to limited and the are basically the same as last year so it feels old.

 

[BigBucs]

The custom playbooks would have been cool but in a way its probably good they arent allowed in OF. You simply cant trust some people to not be a cheesy bitch. Every bunch and big formation you can find for some, Im sure.

As for paying for your teams for OTP or whatever it is, get used to it. EA fucked up Fight Night Online World Championship allowing people to buy attributes and and have them actually work to build their fighter. Makes no fucking sense to allow people to buy attributes in a ranked mode.

How do you kick? I can't kick at all. For some reason, it is like my X button doesn't recognize when I hit it to line up the accuracy. So...I figure I have to be doing something wrong since the first two times I hit X, the game reacts to it.

if you are worried about cheesy bitches in your leagues then those people shouldnt be there.

love in franchise how the random draft class is now using real pictures of players

 

[Maynard]

3 freezes in a row trying to play a franchise game

 

[Maynard]

finally got it to load...wtf is with the rain? 2 preseason and 1 regular season game....all in the rain

 

[RyanLeaf16]

In the VSN community room now. If anyone wants to play a game.

Lol I imported an NCAA draft class and apparently Andrew Luck is black

Thought they fixed this...that sucks.



The Fins are a possible team for me in Franchise (want a team with ? at QB). What is the most I should be willing to trade for Tebow. I think it's believable since they were looking into him earlier this preseason. Is a 2nd round pick too high (in Madden Universe)? What is a fair trade for the Broncos? Should I re-rate him in the game before starting the Franchise and attempting to trade for him (even lowering attributes), but not for the sake of getting him cheaply?

Ok, you ran PA, and when your QB was set you ran backwards 7 yards and threw it off your back foot. So what would have been a 15 yard pass from QB to WR, turned into a 23 yard pass off your QBs back foot, and you're saying bull shit? If ANY QB in real life were to run backwards and throw from 12 yards behind the LOS every CB in the league would be jumping those passes for INTs. Try stepping up into the pocket and see what happens.

I thought warping was supposed to be a thing of the past this year..

I thought it was a thing of last gen but I guess not.

But thats been in the game forever. Defense players just know where the ball is without seeing it. Its nothing set your feet and step up will help.

agreed, It looked like a deep drop back with a throw off the back foot. The throw seemed to goto the WR back shoulder too. Not an ideal pass attempt.

but still, i know exactly what you mean twigg. The DB's do pull off some serious BS alot more then they should

Yeah, I'm not talking about the throw, how it was off the back foot or any of that shit. The fact of the matter is that in the first vid I posted the fat ass defensive lineman just warped to the ball. He went from facing the right sideline to jumping for the ball to the left (his right) and intercepting the ball in asp[lit second. And not only that he snags a bullet from Cutler. Yeah, I'm sure that would happen, what, maybe 1/10 times in real life? But of course it happens to me at the goal line. GTFO. Maybe Neo from th Matrix plays d-line for the Titans?

Then in the second video the DB reacts to the pass as soon as I press the receivers button. It had nothing to do with how I passed the ball. The player was obviously psychic because he made a perfect 180 degree turn while running in full stride, looking in the complete opposite direction mind you, cut in front of the receiver who of course doesn't try to make any play on the ball (that could just be Roy Williams being a bum) and picks it off. Again, I wish I had a capture device or I guess I could've recorded the bullshit play with my phone and posted it to YouTube, but why bother? It will just happen a thousand more times. The defensive players (maybe just DB's) have psychic logic and react and track the ball as soon as you pass, just like NCAA. I think a patch for NCAA toned it down a lot though.

I fell asleep at 6 yesterday and woke up at 7 this morning, so I didn't get to play any Madden. Luckily my wife was here to get the game from UPS...still waiting for code from Amazon (rookie & soph teams).

I'm still waiting for my team codes from Best Buy as well.

The more I play, the more I'm cool with All-Pro. It just feels right, with not as much BS from defenders that you would see in AM. Maybe some slight slider adjustments will make it perfect. For now, I'm good.

 

[Bomberooski]

2 games online last night. A little bit of lag but still awesome. Defending the deep ball is a bit of a problem for me right now

 

[Rayman]

Fuck every one of you that plays Ultimate Team. That garbage has no business taking up valuable disk space on my football game.

EA can eat a dick over that one.

I agree. Like I said in another thread, it makes you really have to work and call good plays on the defensive side of the ball.

I tried UT last year and it was kind of fun but so frustrating because if you wanted any decent players you were basically forced to pay real money for new card packs. Fuck that.

And on a similar note I can't believe how many people on my friends list bought the Season Ticket. When you pull up your list in-game it shows who has the ST and surprisingly quite a few people do. For shame people, for shame.

That's another thing that has been pissing me off. The CPU will heave what is basically a Hail Mary. They will throw a deep ball to a receiver that has two or three defenders surrounding him, yet somehow, quite often the receiver makes the catch. I've tried manually taking over a defender and swatting/intercepting and just letting the CPU control and nothing seems to work.

 

[Rayman]

You're missing out.

I couldn't give a fuck less. Bullshit like UT is one of the reasons franchise mode (both on and offline) along with some of the most basic shit is constantly neglected. If those shitheads spent less time worrying about bullshit card games and more time worrying about the fucking product, Madden would be a much better game.

Fuck them and fuck you.

You can't blame the user for EA being fucking lazy. Now if the user is spending actual money for cards and that bullshit mode then I totally agree with you.
