Madden NFL 12 Video - Eagles vs. Cowboys

[Senator Palmer]

I didn't like how on the second play of the game, the corner to the short side of the field, completely rotated over to the FS spot, telegraphing the overload blitz from the wide side of the field. I like how the play unfolded, with the LB buzzing out to take away the curl, but I hope the option to disguise coverage and use shells is there, because that one was a little too obvious.

4:53 mark -- the play that was the sack. The play looked good with the pre-snap mugging the LOS, but I don't like how Gurode, who is one of the better centers in the league picks up the blitzing safety, then gets flat out beat in a pass rush. Usually, if a safety is going to make that sack up the middle, he's only going to do it if he comes clean, or if the center is a step late. Here, it looks like Gurode picked him up perfectly.

THey should probably change the banner to say "Players to Watch" or something rather then the way they currently have it. A screen wash comes across that says "offense" or "defense".

This isnt a huge deal or anythig but it seems like a pretty easy fix and would make it much more realistic IMO.

I agree with TOL that the intent wasn't to show the starters, but to show some nice presentation.

That just makes you go, wth

Makes no sense to do that when your trying to mimic a real broadcast....you show the whole lineup and then have have a
"Keys to the Game" Segment....

I mean these are the things that just annoy the heck out of people.....this just seems like such an easy thing to get right if you watch the game much at all

I'm not a programmer, but I'm thinking they would have to design it differently because now they have like 5 player cards coming across the screen.

They would have to get to a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-4 screen to change things up on a defense.

This is how I envisioned Madden's presenation looking when they first started on the 360. The tackling looks way better too with less pin bowl tackles and more conscutive hita. Glad they have belatedly showed a little promise.

I hate when Madden offers alternatives to TV broadcastst. Star players in place of starting line ups is not what fans have been asking for.

I wish I could see what you guys do, but based on these E3 videos, I won't be getting Madden 12. Looks like Madden 11 with a paint job to me. Hopefully some videos come that get my excitement up and change my mind. Also, hopeful for a great demo.

Yeah I really wanted to see if AI Vick would tuck and run, and how much they run vs pass.

But I liked the video, pass rush is relentless. (By the DEs)
