Same here.

The impressions lead me to believe even more that I made a good choice in getting NCAA and skipping Madden this year.

I'm in that same boat too. I agonized over it. If I hadn't found that $20 off deal on Dell.com I'd still be at a loss. But I haven't looked back. I looked for any reason, just one compelling reason to drop $60 on Madden and for the life of me, I still can't find one. All of the videos I have seen from Madden has looked like more of the same and the early demo review confirms it. I mean, the pass rush is still ineffective, how does is that still happening?

Its time everybody starts showing EA who boss. By you not purchasing the game its sending a message to EA. We are not going to take this crap you release to us. You removed features like mud on the uniform, field getting mess up.Also we can't Change the size and shapes of the players models. EA you have not incorporated any new technology like Euphoria technology.Last year you started to make a really good effort Ian Cummings was on this form all the time. It was the first time I ever seen a Dev keep the customers informed in what he is doing. This year I haven't seen one thread from Ian Cummings, he used to respond to people posting. Now there is no connection. I just feel that they should just have a open form and talk about Madden 12. I will not pay for something that looks the same from last year. I can just update the roster. No 80 man rosters in franchise yet for preseason ?

Not really bothered by your comments, sounds like any one who likes madden and plays it regularly will love it. Same is not always a bad thing guys, I mean would you want your girlfriend to just start doing a whole lot of new things?(GameBreaker) you wouldnt recognize her, you'd have to adjust..

.If she just started a new workout program (locomotion) and acted more cheery (Gus Johnson) and got straight to the point (gameflow) and stopped speeding (no turbo)....you'd like your girlfriend just the same, without major changes

did I just analagize madden with your girlfriend? yes I did...

Okay, maybe this is a little off topic but does anyone else see that? This post has just gone by without comment. Is it not a little strange or worrying that we just absolutely accept that the game will not be finished when we buy it and that there'll have to be a patch?

I know that this is just the state of modern gaming and I know it's not just Madden but really, if you stop to think about it, it's shocking what we let them get away with these days.

From reading that I get the impression gameflow and locomotion in Madden is a bust. That would be a disaster for the game.
