Is this the general consensus? I haven't played the demo yet. I may have to buy this game if the super LBs are gone. I couldnt stand them in NCAA.

I disagree. Super LBs are still in the game from my experience with the demo.

Super LBs are still there played three games every game there was atleast one or two Super LB plays.

Some gameplay I recorded

1st quarter.



Breaking down the tackling in M12.



for comparisons sake here is some vid of tackling on M03






Overall I think its an improvement from 11 bit still not digging the running animations which look and feel funky and the tackling while improved still doesn't look to be up to 03 or 2K5/8 standards but maybe it will be improved in the full game.

Probably not a day one purchase(getting the Wii version at launch still) but will get it when its on sale.

This is my issue, and has been for a few Maddens. To the point where I pick "Punt Block" when I want to get a good return, over "Punt Return". It just seems that my guys can't block and you just get tackled as soon as you catch the ball..always.

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.

That is the 1st thing that jumped out to me was the awareness of Rogers....

I think DPP is going to be awesome this year for the game.....when i saw Rogers take off like 2-3 times without hesitation it made me really mad at the NCAA crew.....

I'm on the same boat as you this is the same company how come we can't get our beloved NCAA 12 to be like Madden 12
