I dont understand what went wrong with this dev cycle, madden 11 had alot of gameplay issues fixed that should have carried over into 12 and it didnt. Im tired of feeling like everything is started from scratch, features and issues get forgotten about instead of expanded upon.

I never thought FG block glitches would arise again

DC glitching is just one enormous puzzle to the devs and even the people who find them

AI awareness is shotty, sick and tired of the same play and routes destroying my coverages and my AI not reacting to them accordingly

QB speeds need some serious tweaking, these guys are faster than normal and with that said, the same thing needs to be done to the Defensive and offensive line personnel. I had BJ Raji hawk down Frank Gore while DBs and LBs were running behind Raji as he almost caught me.

Interception returns for the Offense that threw the pick has better awareness then the defense it was playing against. Often too much I see guys that were running past the point of interception (or not expecting it at all or aware) stop on a dime regardless of how, when, and where they were running to and make a play on the ball carrier.

So annoying and I hope atleast a couple of these are addressed!

Oh no, NCAA notes came out like 6-8 weeks before the patch

What's the point of saying Details coming out soon and then not saying anything for 2 weeks? Why even come out and say anything? Just release the Details when they are available.

This is pretty ridiculous.

To me, it's better than saying nothing at all.

If people didn't hear that a patch announcement was coming soon, and the details just drop out of the clear blue sky, people would wonder why no one said anything earlier.

It's a catch 22. Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

It was only one week ago they tweeted about the patch.

But you're right.. announcements about announcements are pretty counter intuitive to begin with...

On these boards, true.

There'll always be some kid who will take time to wipe the Cheeto dust away from his pimply chin in his parents basement to bitch about what EA says/does. No matter what they do.

I can wait until Friday, because once I see the CPU completion % hasn't been addressed, I'm done with the game for another year.

EA should just take the Valve approach and say we're working on it it'll be ready when its ready people would still cry about it but a least there would be room for unforeseen set backs.

I think the Dev team probably was getting highly annoyed with people hitting them up on twitter and reading the forums about patch info. I do agree saying that we will hear something soon and then waiting another two weeks to divulge info is pretty stupid. At the same time they bring a lot of it on themselves with the Madden Podcasts which have very little to actually do with the game.

To me if your going to do a Madden podcast it should be about the game, talking about the community's concerns and things they could possibly fix/ tweak. Versus listening to them go on like they're sports analysts about fantasy football and all that other nonsense.

They are trying to use things like twitter and podcasts to reach out to the community, the problem is the content their putting out there has nothing to do with what the community cares about.
