Madden NFL 12 Has Twice as Many People Working on Core Gameplay

[TreyIM2]

After reading about what is in NCAA 12 and thinking I seen at least the multi-hit tackling in the more gameplay vid BEFORE actually reading about it, this bodes well for Madden 12.

Increasing the team members SHOULD be fruitful and hopefully, BOTH games will truly shine like never before....but I take issue with that spin to the ground tackle animation appearing too many times for my liking in the vids. I gotta go back and see if they just kept using the same footage over and over. I didn't really analyze it, initially.

law of diminishing returns.

economies of scale.

I like what I've read from Cam so far and I also get a good feeling when it comes to this year's game. I did buy last year's game too, but I wasn't as optimistic as I'm feeling now. Last year you could almost tell there wasn't going to be that big of a leap made, but I think/hope that will be different this year.

I know the Vick shot is from 12, i meant the pictures in the article like this one here:



And about the actual article, i sort of agree with you. When i read it, i didn't see anything about the current Madden game having double the team; Especially when he just got abroad this February

I'm guessing that's a Madden 11 shot. If it's 12, they forgot to put in 3d grass like NCAA.

So it sounds like Madden 12 is basically Ian Cummings and the old Madden team's game.

The new Madden team sounds great, but it doesn't look like we will see their impact until Madden 13.

I do like the fact that the new guy is from FIFA. FIFA is EA's best franchise.

What old Madden team are you referring too? If you read the article, only Ian and one other person left from IT.

Hardly a "team."

Until I actually see changes, this only seems like pandering to me. Who do you think will hear about this quote from him? Only us, the guys he's referring to.

This one and the "Defensive Secondary AI" thread are the best two threads I've read in this forum in a long time. I'm starting to get a little hopeful for Madden again.
