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

[stlpimpmonsta]

Havent played Madden since Madden 10 (didnt even play 11's demo) so i dont know how good/bad madden 11 was but this game is much better than 10.

Tackling is so hard now cause im use to cheat to get tackles since i would be able to morph towards them and get the tackle but now dive tackles have much more risked to them (as it should).

Zone defense is amazing.I swore players didnt play zone in 10 but on here you can actually read the defense now since they actually play their zones now.

Not a fan of the auto turbo/strafe so i turned that off.Also turned speed to slow cause normal was too fast.

Won my first game 21-3 using the packers.I was able to do everything they are able to do in real life (establish a run game, rodgers making good passes, etc.)

more impressions later.

Actually, I'm finding Cullen Jenkins(Packers RE) getting plenty of sacks. This is the first time in Madden I've noticed that.

One play I was controlling Mathews and I blew by Cutler and Pickett was there to finish him off.

I got a penalty for throwing the ball afyer crossing the LOS.

Right,but that's in a 3-4 so Jenkins is really a DT. And Jenkins shouldn't be getting the majority of the sacks. While I agree he should get there sometimes, the majority should come from the OLBs. In a 4-3, the DEs are designed to get the pressure.

I agree, but even last year Taz, Pickett had all the sacks, while Jenkins laid an egg in my franchise. Just saying it's good to see that change from last year.(3-4)

EA Is Stepping Into The Right Direction, But It's 6 years too late

Well, 4 years ago would be Madden 2008. The tackling system alone debunks this point of view.

I'm really happy with what Madden 12 is, even with this buggy, early build.

If that's true, then that's a good sign. I still have other issues. And still looking forward to Franchise improvements.
