Official Madden 12 Demo Impressions Thread

[Maynard]

seems pretty solid. i see a few WTF issues here and there, but nothing some sliders couldnt fix

one thing that really bugs me that i forgot about was how they use a different control scheme then ncaa....its just a reminder of who we are dealing with

graphically it seemed kind of dark. And QBs seemed to move lighting fast

adjust the speed slider if you find QB's too fast.

it will make 70SPD guys (QB's) slower than the 80 and 90 SPD guys (defenders)

How much to bump it?

I've been using Slow and 35 on the slider.

He stopped doing videos about Madden about a year ago. He found Jesus or something and only does god videos.

Funny that you say that, earlier I was searching Youtube for his videos but so far, nothing.

I found it far to easy to scramble, especially with Cutler running.

My mistake. I thought you were responding to my post since you posted right afterwards.

lol thats because the bears oline is a piece of shit and cutler gets rocked because of that.

If its in the game its in the game lol.

Not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about an animation kicking in waaaaaaaay too early. So no matter how many times you press a button to throw the ball the QB will just hold onto the ball and wait to be hit.

Or they wouldn't be allowed to have children.

I just played the demo and I'm a little disappointed. Way to many game changing plays. Just feels like it's going to be a struggle with sliders to get something realistic. I'm hearing it just in this thread. I mean it's 5 minute quarters and we're hearing about 60 yard runs and long bombs. I would like the number of big plays to be about the same as what would happen in a real game.

This has always been a problem with Madden/NCAA because the default quarter length is 5 and they want to get to realistic scores/stats out of that shortened time frame. So ya you'd have to struggle with sliders if you want big plays and things like that toned down.

So he makes NBA Elite vids now?

How do you hot route? What happened to pressing triangle (Y on 360)?

 

[Bear Pand]

look in the bottom left of the screen (i believe)

Madden has a different presnap adjustment thing

 

[BigBucs]

Game looks good as hell but the CPU be cheating like a bitch on AM. Gonna run a AP.

 

[BigBucs]

Who the fuck plays on slow or very slow? GTFOH with that weak shit. I bumped the speed up to fast.

WTF! I just searched his videos and they are all BS now.

That guy needs to get back to his rediculous madden bashing and complaining about being temp banned off OS for the 400th time.

 

[Tengo Juego]

I'm not nearly as giddy about the demo as most people seem to be. I've always felt Madden was a bit more refined in it's gameplay than NCAA. But, I feel like that's it having played this demo. Now, that's without touching what I'm really looking forward to, Franchise mode. If Franchise is all it's being cracked up to be, I can probably tolerate the game's shortcomings, on the field, and get quality playing time out of this game.

 

[BigBucs]

How many glaring on field shortcomings have you seen on the field that you wont be abl to adjust with sliders in an offline franchise? Probably will take more time with the game but I dont see much initially.
