Where Are The Madden NFL 12 Tuner Sets and Online Franchise Roster Updates?

[khaliib]

I wonder what the list would look like for all the pre-released advertised things that never were utilized or done incorrectly by EA since being on these Next-Gen systems?

This isn't nothing new on their part, as they are allowed to work this way during pre-release marketing year after year.

It irks me how they (EA) use dedicated sites like OS to market to 1,000's of the sites members, then dissappear after release and leave their trash/mess for forum mod's to clean up.

This because the frustrations from the members to call EA on such things is pitted against Mod's necessity to enforce forum site rules, while they sneak out the back door until next year's marketing phase.

After 7 releases on Next-Gen, have gamers FINALLY come to realize why "GAMEPLAY" is so important to go into detail about with this developer and the foremost aspect of the game that should have at least a dedicated 2-3 weeks of Q/A before discussion on any other aspect of the game?

Have we arrived there yet?
Or are facemask, hair, nails, makeup and other visuals still the most important to talk about?

As Skillz noted, they have to acknowledge that there is something wrong with their games gameplay, and his response speaks louder than anything, that they simply do not believe their is anything wrong that would need a Tuner, end of story.

As far as not spending anymore time on this year's release to concentrate on next year.
I remember this being said after the 2007 release with huge wishlist of things that needed fixed.

Got to admit though, utilizing Tuners for their football did sound good and get us excited for a moment.

Then Reality!!!

This man speaks the truth. EA Sports as a whole still puts out some quality sports games. I dont play anything but football and basketball but the level of quality that FIFA, NHL and PGA Tiger Woods cant be denied. None of these games are developed by Tiburon...

NCAA got 1 tuner set this year.

Madden probably won't get any.

It's been a frustrating year for football gaming. EA is really getting lazy or they just don't care.

Seems like false advertising to me. That's ok though, I don't trust them anyway. I prefer to do the tuning myself.

What were the tuning sets actually supposed to do?

Yeah, big surprise. This is why you need competitiveness in the industry. EA also said there would be Kinect support for Madden 12, but big surprise there is none. Just another way for them to get a "new feature" featured article on IGN.
On a separate note I also find it comical how the reasons for the exclusive license continue to contradict one another. It was initially stated that they did not think that 2k fairly represented the game of football. They used the hard late hits in NFL 2k3 as their primary argument. Now years later they decide to allow EA to use the NFL license to produce NFL Blitz (which looks cool but I digress).
I just wish companies could be honest and say it is a business decision. "We wanted to make the most money off our brand" SMH

Sir you do realize that the NFL is NOT allowing the current blitz to use late hits right?

2k comes back next year, right?
