Madden NFL 12 Super Bowl Halftime Blog: Tuner Sets and Surprise Onside Kicks

[LionsFanNJ]

The problem was the tuners were attached to the patches. Thus you COULD NOT select what tuner set you'd like to use unlike what happened with NHL's tuner sets.

Cool surprise onside kicks and turner sets. I like it.



edit: quick question- will the CPU do surprise onside kicks too? That would be awesome.

Did the podcast download for some of you have a length of 0:00? Even though the file was 9.06 MBs, it had no audio data for me.

Suprise onside is nice I guess. It's part of Sundays.

I like the new score bar, it's less obtrusive no more the big EA logo and upper side of the screen, however I was hoping for a real network integration (ESPN, CBS...). Oh well, good blog as a start....

Unfortunately Ian I finished reading this just when the halftime show was starting. You fail. EDIT: I suppose that includes podcast too though. Nevermind.

Glad that you caved in and got the surprise onsides kick in. And I'm really happy that tuner sets are in this year. Will change the post release landscape for you guys quite a bit.

If you guys stay "true to the game," I think this Madden will be more receptive to the hardcore community then M11 was. More simulation/hardcore features = happy me.

Good start to M12.

Nice. I didnt expect much. But still nice.

Good blog, I didn't really expect much.

Looks like they're sticking with EA Sports presentation.



I know some will point out that they simply didn't add the official broadcast stations yet, but the overlay tends to be the very first thing that's finalized in a Madden Dev cycle - and this one already looks radically different from the Madden 11 overlay.

Don't get me wrong, they can still greatly improve presentation but I think it'll continue to be done on EA's terms for M12.
