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

[PanthersFanboy]

Let me start by saying, I love the demo. I play on all-pro and not once did I feel cheated. I had a hard time running but that can be fixed with the sliders. When passing, there where no super LB or CB, and you can actually put touch on the ball, which was nice. The play-action worked good also. When running with a player they felt like they had weight to them. On defence, I had no problem getting sacks, but it was not overpowering, which is a good thing. Love the new kicking game also. Feels like Madden 2005 again.

And on a big note, the demo plays nor feels anything like NCAA 12, and I am glad. I will be at my local Wal-Mart at midnight to get this game. Finally Madden feels like I remember(ps2 days)!

The demo blew me away. Very impressed with everything I saw. The graphics and revamped art style are sight to behold.

After one game i'm not feeling it. I just got back to nfl2k5 after a few years off and i might be looking at this game thru my 2k glasses. But the gameplay just feels flat. I don't know what it is. I was just looking for something new and it just feels like a Madden game i know that might sound weird but. Going to play it some more like i said it was one game. But it didn't really make me Want to play again. Going to play it again to try to make my self like it.

I must say even though I was anoyed Hester running 80 yards off a screen looked great, it was my bad play call, which btw I LOVE gameflows changes this year.

the biggest gripe I have is super LBs Urlacher 10 feet arms batting a ball down that I was trying to throw to the TE a few times, gets very frustrating

Hahaha!!!

I'm really liking the game. I just play FIFA now because soccer games are just more fluid and don't require much dead time, but madden is good. I played the NCAA demo, and could never manage to finish the demo.. It is just kinda boring I guess, but madden is a lot of fun.

Does EA listen to their fans? I might be alone but I hate the change in the 3d grass ( some angles look great, then others look flat. Why not just make the grass 3d from all angles? Whats needed: Better D line moves An elite broadcast or announcers to push along the action More immersiveness ( still feels like a game, not an NFL sim) A physics engine would help with the longevity More on the field sounds Will reserve my final judgement for the final build

Do you actually see defined grass blades when watching games on Sunday?

Definitely want more field sounds and a louder atmosphere. Hopefully EA has added several crowd noise variants and we can get some home playoff games with the crowds rocking the stadium.

Played some games and once again my only problem is the blocking on punt/kick returns. Mostly punt returns, the blockers do pretty much nothing.

My impression........ Way way way way better than I expected. Only real complaints in my first game of football were
1. The "ball coming out of QB's hand" physics. Looks horrible on replays, but only a minor nit pick.
2. Pre play or post play cut scenes look good except when it tries to focus on a player behind another player and its zoomed in waaaay too far and you just see the chests of a bunch of the other players.
With what little time I've had to play, like it more than I thought I would.
