The new zone coverage, removal of suction, tackling, additon of the tackle button, the dive catch, etc. This all adds up to the best playing Madden yet. And I didn't even mention DPP. From there, you'll struggle to find a football game that has come close to the presentation that Madden NFL 12 offers. Words can;t describe the difference that having every camera from every NFL stadium in the game makes to the overall look and feel. Throw int he fact that every team has their custom entrances, the new broadcast layers, etc and you have another major improvement. Offline franchise received 100 additions/improvements and these are major. There are things in their that you guys have requested for years and new things that most have never even thought of such as DPP that make the mode fresh and fun to play. Again, you'll have to experience it first hand to know what I mean. Then we still have July 25th and I PROMISE you this announcement is going to change the way you guys look at playing Madden online forever. This is HUGE and you won't want to miss it. I respect your opinion, but i want to make sure that you know the depth that has been put into this year's game.

I understand what your saying but at the same time 3 years of not tweaking of adding anything to the online franchised is wild to me. For example I work in the oil field business if work on a project and customers are buying it and I don't add or tweak something and I have some customers who like it and half doesn't like it my boss will pull me to the side and say I want something done now or you got to find a new job. Bc it's about feeling good about putting a good product out.

Pastapadre: The only online stuff Madden 12 has worked on is the "Communities". And that is related to Online Team Play.

I wonder if this will be like NHL's OTP mode where you and your buddies just play random people either in a sim or arcade community. If that's what it is I will be disappointed.

I'm confident the team is pretty happy with the product they put out, and there's certainly a ton of things that don't make it in every year.

If that statement really did come from Pasta... then he is incorrect about it only being related to OTP.

Really need these questions answered

so no DPP in online franchise?
no 70player rosters in oniline franchise?
no IR in online franchise?

is anything madden 12 related in online franchise?

I only play OF...thats it. I dont want to spend 60$ on a online franchise roster update that doesnt include new madden 12 features

[Stick skills]

I will look forward to buying madden 13 if you guys address online franchise til then i will enjoy playing online dynasty and an extra 60 dollars in my pocket. I understand that you cant put everything in but dont take 3 years to address something fans have been begging for.
