Madden NFL 12 Video - Presentation Sizzle

[Senator Palmer]

Overall, I liked what I saw, but why does Michael Vick's picture still have cornrows in it? The presentation blog indicates that they went all out for the tiny "details" of the game. Why does this keep getting missed when he cut 'em off back when he was in Atlanta?

Last year was the first time since Madden 97 that I didn't buy the game, game looks good and with franchise/dynasty updates they might be bringing me back

Save the "damned if we do and damned if we don't" reaction. It's really about time an NFL game had this. It's only 2011.

Nobody is saying that we shouldn't have had this already or its about time, I'm sure we are all thinking that, but I don't get the "cold shoulder" towards the game when they finally, at least seemingly, deliver on some of the things we have been asking for.

I'm not saying that everyone should be jumping up and down and rushing out to pre-order the game, nor that its even going to be a success..., but I for one am glad, late or not, that they have listened to the community and added some of the things they have added.

Couldnt agree more. Still end of week show or enhanced draft. IMO I think the game will play better on the field, but will still be stale off of it.

Well Im intrigued....but I really need to see the raw gameplay footage.....EA are masters of this sizzle marketing

Hope it all comes together though....Football gamers have had it rough on these consoles....and I hope we can all exhale a bit this year and enjoy a truly rock solid football game again

No one is complaining. If you think that is a complaint, then you're using the word incorrectly. Not buying into the hype and "complaining" are two very different things.

Pared, I dont think you need to qualify your opinion with anyone. Seeing Vick running onto the field with an overlay does nothing for me. EA needs to capture football like NBA 2k does. Just all around immersion. I think the problem is alot of people expected Madden to be alot further ahead then it is in terms of presentation, physics, etc.

Man this video is off the wall right now, Man this has me totally pumped up for the game now. Once we get info on offline franchise mode on May 16th then I'll be happy for the year.
