No more of each formation having their own category. However, I do wish we could order the formations... like have the base defenses first then nickle, sub/dime/dollar, & quarter. It is still a little weird... it can be ordered like 3-4, 4-3, sub, goalline, special teams, quarter, 4-6, nickle, etc.

I tried creating a playbook and as I added Shotgun Formation they all ended up under the Hail Mary Formation. Have you actually tried creating a playbook?

I played a franchise game. PLaying with All-Madden custom sliders. 13 minute quarters, 45 speed threshold.


The fields look 10 times better. Now I see what everyone was flipping out about. Honestly...I did not notice it too much but now that they cleaned up the fields it looked like oil slicks pre patch.


Gameplay was a little tighter.

Audio on the field and crowd is better.

Play by play is still an abomination. I don't know what they fixed there as I heard the same mistakes and comedy that I am already used to. So much so I tune it out and lowered Gus and Chris to a measly 50 so have some background chatter without actually having to listen to it.

Audio popping is still loud and clear.

I have not tried out custom playbooks yet. And I never edited a player in my chise thus far as I did not want to trip the bug. Now that it is fixed I can start tweaking my players.

A minor patch.

Almost done with year 2 and will be going right into year three.

Which is 2 more years than I put in on Madden 11.


Overall I have never had any issues with gameplay. I am glad the game looks better, and I wish the audio popping was able to be addressed via patch (I think it is a disc/master defect).

First freeze I've had outside of Superstar mode loading, first game post-patch. End of 3rd Q in franchise mode.

Cool, EA!!!!

Play by Play is not something that can be fixed with a patch, we are stuck with it until next year or more likely the way Madden goes until 2015 at least.. The Audio that was fixed was the PA announcer announcing more names during the pre game ceremonies which I have seen but still lots of big names missing.

What playbook did you start with? I started with S.F./Harbaugh book and I just added the first 4 or 5 Shotgun formation and they all got filed under Hail Mary instead of Gun. Let me know what book you used and I'll try that one.
