Madden NFL 12 Features Announced Over the Next 3 Months - X-Books & DPP?

If you going to give me DLC don't make it coins. Let me download new cut scenes or stuff to change up presentation and make it fresh.

They seem more confident than they have been over the past few years and I think they have solid direction.

If x-books really are custom playbooks and they work the way they should then x-books combined with improved gameplanning should help us get a better challenge out of the cpu. We should be able to create custom playbooks for each team, throw out the useless 8 man blitzes, tune the frequency and situational usage of certain plays using gameplanning which should overall give us significantly better CPU Playcalling.
Hopefully, x-books will work this way AND we'll be able to share them on PSN & XBL.

I agree. MUT isnt for me and I would never spend money on card packs for it. However, I did purchase the AFL DLC for Madden 10 to change things up a little (i hate to admit it though, because I think this stuff should be included)

it would be great if "x-books" meant the plays are updated week-to-week as the season progresses. Similar to how we have periodic roster updates during the season. Say your team runs a play on Sunday, have the option to add that play to the playbook or have it update automatically.

If you watch the teaser video than you will see everything on the list above. My decision will be made, if i'm going to buy madden or not, on April 28 when they drop a game play blog.

Just so you guys know, they probably won't stick to the info release dates, or at least not entirely.

Usually, when a sports game is close to release, little tidbits about the game's features are given out (via Twitter, interviews, or Community Day events) without going in-dept about such features until the blogs come out.

So, don't worry about hiding until mid April; you might miss out on something...

Yeah I was thinking the same exact thing.

Well I hope its little tidbits here and there and not just here's all the gamplay improvements and end enjoy. I like the hunt of looking for every little info I can find. Its a yearly obsession with me.
