Madden NFL 12 Video - E3 Gameplay: Steelers vs. Browns

[LambertandHam]

Two things jumped out at me.

1.I can't believe they left the part in where the ref went to make the call, and the game glitched into the stands, totally obscuring the ref.

2.Remind me never to read Youtube comments again

This is just me but the first thing I saw was how huge the stripes on the Browns pants were. They have a thin stripe on the pants, it's way to big in the game.


The commentary wasn't good at all. At 2:30 when McCoy pitches the ball to Hillis he says "McCoy takes the pitch", what the heck. Even if there is a Brown on the cover this year, if it stays this way I might have to pass.

Where is the player comparisons that occur in the real NFL broadcast? Where is the real stats overlays that occur in a NFL GAME? THE qb running out on the field with a stat overly is ok, but what about the rest of the players stats and comparisons? Phil running around E3 saying they true too authentic broadcast, " NO THEY NOT". Look at MLB2k11 and NBA2k11 broadcast style and stats overlays. They compare players, last year stats, current season stats, overall team percentage...etc. This is what true broadcast is all about and since they took out the extra point and no halftime show, this is inexcusable at this point in nex-gen gaming. When will we get a NFL game that surpass NFL2K5 presentation style???????

I honestly think both players were button skipping the starting lineups, reviews, exc. You could tell on the starting line-ups because it was only there for a few seconds

honest question here......can someone link me to an earlier article/blog/trailer that talks about new commentary system for M12?

no you can't...why?...because there won't be any major upgrades to the commentary system this year

stop acting like your blind-sided by the shotty commentary for m12.

I'm thinking this is a VERY early build. If you listen carefully, you can hear music playing while the game is playing. I'm not sure if it was at E3, thus making it music playing while around other games/events, but you can clearly hear music while the game is going.

Also, the starting lineup got skipped past on all accounts of it popping up. It goes straight to gameplay after the skill positions come up. I can't imagine they'd leave out the OL. But you know the saying: O-Line never gets any love...
