Where Are The Madden NFL 12 Tuner Sets and Online Franchise Roster Updates?

[Steve_OS]

Recently, we asked Justin Dewiel, Community Manager at EA Sports about online franchise roster updates and the promised Madden NFL 12 tuner sets. Here is his response.

Any updates for the Online Franchise Rosters?

Quote:

We don't normally do online franchise roster updates during the season. There's one to start the season and one at the end.

What is the latest on Madden NFL 12 tuner sets?

Quote:

No updates regarding tuners to pass along at this point.

As many of us already know, tuner sets and surprise onside kicks were announced back in February.

Based off of his response, do you think we see tuner sets for Madden NFL 12?

I had the same response a month ago about the tuner sets.

Kinda disappointing at this stage, especially when it was announced several months ago.

Nah, I don't think we'll be seeing any tuner sets.

We have gotten two patches, but who knows if we'll see anything else. I've been personally wondering if they've internally shifted a lot of focus to M13. Maybe there is some truth to the next wave of consoles debuting late next year, and they want to make launch?

Otherwise, they've really dropped the ball on how M12 was handled post launch -- at least when you compare it to the amount of support that the inferior M11 received.

Yeah I dont/won't ever expect a tuner in either EA football game. Just a waste of an announcement for something they'll never use. Or they realize we want NHL sytle tuners, they can't implement them, so they give us nothing.

I'm sure Madden 13 will announce tuners and never use them either. Its just how it works

Madden and NCAA dropped the ball BIG TIME in regards to the lack of Tuner sets for their respective games. I don't understand how a smaller-staffed NHL team can churn out multiple tuners, while NCAA only released a tuner alongside a patch, and we've seen nothing from Madden.

NHL also gives the user the option of which tuner set to use, while NCAA forced you to use the most-recent installment. Again, I don't understand how one game can give us options and another, made under the same EA umbrella, cannot.

I would guess the change in leadership on the madden team played a big part in this. Makes sense the new guys would prefer to focus on there vision for Madden 13 rather then spend precious time fixing the previous teams bugs in Madden 12.

No. Viva La APF 2K8!

Why add tuner sets if they do not release any. Pretty disappointing if no tuner sets or another patch is released to address many glaring problems, mainly the issue with imported and UDFA pad/body glitch.
