Having said that, I'm a happy camper nonetheless, Madden 12 is the best Madden presentation-wise, no one can deny it.

Ditto. It was the start of something that could have been great with continual work. Maybe they pulled it to improve on it for next yr. Doubt it but, eh, whatever....

I have to say that the presentation as far as the new cam angles and intros is nice but, of course, they get tired after a while. Been playing this game since Friday and I can't help but to feel bored of it after the demo excited me so much yet I'll stop there. It's about presentation here, right? And YEA the commentary sux!! Heh...

Gus Johnson is an amazing commentator. This is obvious to anyone who's watched a Gus Johnson commentated NFL game in real life. This is completely on EA's sound department which has been coasting the past few years.

It's 2012 they should now have a franchise mode with media and technology coming out of everywhere, radio stations, internet, blackberry, iphone, cbs, espn, fox sports, local tv station , local newspaper and national newspaper. Come on the league is media driven. Image the NFL without media exposure. How do we find out what's happening in the league with a poor interface. It's like making your favorite sandwich and never eating it. It's incomplete.

If we are really being true to the Madden NFL 12 Announcer Formula you actually meant Gary Johnson and Announcer # 2.

The replay system, announcers, and lack of a halftime show is laughable. I do love the new camera angles. Player intro is nice the first few times but gets old fast.

I see way more stuff this year being called wrong by commentators. Its bad enough they sound lame as ever but do they have to say stuff like.

"And the Lions look to score again after getting the ball in excellent field position." Hmm after the defense just downed the ball on the 1 yrd line on a punt!!!!! Happens a lot, he said that when I had the ball at the 10, or 15 or 7....

He says lots of other things that are way off too. Collingsworth, don't get my started...

I like the camera stuff, I like the starting lineup things coming out on the field too but after seeing them 1x you just skip them. :P

I think its cool they show the offense and defensive lineup but its the same thing everytime. They always talk about the same player. So that also gets old, also in order to see a lot of the precentation stuff you have to make sure you don't press buttons to fast after plays or it skips them and you don't realize it.

The halftime thing shows some of the big plays but it needs some sort of voice overlay to have it be cool. Just showing the plays makes it pretty vanilla.

Dude, this is the most honest post I've seen in a long time, couldn't agree more! I hate that maybe next year stuff!

They should have kept the EXTRAPOINT in for the playoffs, beginning and end of the season, sort of how College Hoops2k use to do it, I think it's value would have been better until they found something new. Come on EA, get creative with your presentations!!!
