Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[bh446066]

Based on what I'm reading, looks like I'll be buying Madden for the first time since the 2004 version.

I haven't gotten all the way to the end of the thread, but is the PS3 demo available now?

It's there... not sure if maybe the demo branch was made before we put the UI in for it. Try Up (to activate the presnap menu), then "A" for individual coverage, then the button of the receiver who's cover man you're trying to adjust, then left for shade left, right for shade right, up for back up, down for press.

Yeah i was kinda harsh on Madden 11 even though i still played it a lot go figure LOL!

But this year like i said after two games with the demo I think you guys did a very good job.....yes the game is way too fast at default but after dropping the speed and player threshold this game was pretty darn good in the gameplay area.

The thing that stood out to me is the defense i can tell even in the demo that this game has great potential on that side of the ball...no more constant shootouts like Madden 11 seemed to dictate.

Yes, in my one game I got two.

1. DPP is the real deal.

2. Big hits sound like big hits.

3. Graphically this game is great !

4. Players talk a lot, which is great.

5. I like how players argue with refs over calls. Jennings caught a TD pass but the ref said he was out of bounds. Jennings got in the ref face arguing his point of view saying he caught it in bounds, doing the whole arm movements and everything.

6. Zone coverage is very good, even against 4 verticals.

7. DEs actually pass rush and get after the QB.

8. Runners use ALL of their special moves.

9. When the QB scramble, they actually run with a purpose and try to get a TD. And NOT slide after 3 yards like they do so much in NCAA 12. Scrambling QBs also use ALL of their special moves while running, something that they don't do in NCAA 12.

Over all I can't understand how Madden 12 is so much better then NCAA 12 when they are made in the same building. It is like a night and day difference in game play, presentation, sound and graphics.

Some of these facial animations are down right eerie looking how life like it looks.

omg no way just took a pick back with bj raji and he started doing his dance!!!! but then matthews jumped on his back and ended it

One thing I am seeing alot of is that animation where a tackler just knocks the running back down like he just hit a brick wall. It happens and plays too much. It makes it seem a little to arcadey. I have not seen that many wrap tackles if any.

Im loving the demo though!
