Can we start a kickstart football game and i will be the first to put my money into that instead of wasting it on madden. I usually just let this stuff go, but I am tired of just having the choice of one football game. Maybe ps vita can have something different. I would buy ps vita just for that. I can see why they were voted the worst company. How can they have a great soccer and hockey game but miss on Madden every year? End rant.

I am always in favor of people stating whatever they want and expressing their opinion but C'mon man. lol

You honestly believe their "big" change for M12 was the Ebay style free agent system? If so, then I have to wonder how much you actually are aware of about Madden 12.

Am I the only who isn't big on the buttons popping up for WR's when they're looking and hiding when they are not? In this day in age people nano blitz, and when they do this button hiding stuff is only going to make it more difficult to get a pass off.

Can't really say it's more realistic either, in the NFL QB's are not handcuffed to where they can and can not throw the ball. They can throw wherever they want whenever they want. Coach might not want you to throw to A or Triangle, but you should still be capable of doing it.

Maybe it'll be good, but so far I like it all except for the WR button change.

The feature doesn't prevent you from throwing whenever you want to though, it's just a visual indicator that the receiver is expecting the ball. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying.

Mike Young explains at around the 2:00 mark of this video.

I do wish there was an option to turn the visual indicator off with the feature still working under the hood though.

You can still throw the ball to them if they aren't looking. They just won't catch it unless you switch to them and user catch it. And in the video, they said that if a player blitzes, the guy that he leaves will have his button pop up like it's a hot read.

Well I guess I totally missed the part of you can still throw it to him. Thanks for the clarification guys, hope you can kind of see where I was sort of coming from on that. Anyway, I guess I like all the features and gameplay they have shown so far.

I think awareness should tie into the buttons popping up. Peyton Manning can instantly see a receiver open or can anticipate him being open, but someone like Tarvaris Jackson may have to wait a moment to read the coverage right.

It's not based on being open, just on when in the route the receiver is anticipating the ball.

Maybe i went a little overboard. Just tired of bad releases of Madden.
