Five Ways To Make Madden 12 Last One More Week

[cuttingteeth]

Add me to the camp of who will be sticking with M12. I've already got all rosters set up and ready to go. There's a few players I'll need to switch around (like whoever the Cardinals finally decide is their LT), but for the most part I'm ready and could be well into multiple seasons if I chose to be...because M12 has the customization options to let me do that. I say good luck to everyone going with M13 only because this time next year, you'll be wishing you could change/add/create/edit in the new players to start playing with and get your football fix. You'll be stuck waiting on M14 to hopefully give you the right players and correct ratings you desire, though. Those of us with M12 will have long already had it and will be playing away. True, M12 doesn't have the infinity engine or the new commentary guys or new pass trajectories (things I do like and want)...but the trade off is much more in the favor of continuous replay value whenever I want it.

No offense to anyone hyped for M13, but I do think you should have kept M12 just in case you want early football fixes before your looooonnnnggg wait for M14.

Screw Madden 12. You guys need to reload Madden 08 PC

Still not certain if I am getting 13, but I have all of the Maddens I've purchased so I can really go to the well for my fix if I decide not to fall for the hype (it's really hard). I already have a chise ready to go for my Eagles in Madden 12, and a few other AFC chises in their second years (Ravens, Colts, Steelers). I like the idea of totally destroying a yearly playoff and super bowl contender only to rebuild through the draft, problem is I don't like a lot of teams in the NFL (I'm talking serious hate). I think I might take the Panthers and the Jaguars to the big dance.

Honestly never cared about editing. Once you get through season 1, it all becomes "fantasy" anyway. I'll be happy with M13 and on the off chance I'm not, M12 will only be $2.99 by January anyway.

I feel that the Madden 13 ROSTER UPDATE is worth at least $20 alone lol. Add in the infinite engine, new CCM, new passing scheme, that's another $40. Boom the game is valued to me for those reasons Good luck to you all staying in 11 or 12 for another year, I hope you have fun. For those going to 13 on Tuesday at Midnight or getting the pre-release, let's hope it holds up to our standards. Either way Go Madden. I've been playing the demo, Madden 13's demo is more exciting to me than the entire Madden 12 game so I no longer attempt to put in into my XBOX. Been playing FIFA manager mode, and the DEMO a lot.

I'm more shocked that anyone would pay $60 for a first day release sports game, especially madden. You are paying to beta test the game, plain and simple. If you wait until black Friday you can pick it up at $25, plus by then the rosters reflect the current season much better and you have a few patches to boot. Online stays on for a long time, so multi player is not a problem like MLB the show (they shut you off as soon as the new game is released).

EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN THE MADDEN BLACK FRIDAY CLUB!

This would force the developers to release a quality game, not a release now patch later game like the last few years!

Totally agree! We aren't considered customers by EA Sports, we have FREE LABOR. In fact, they make miney off of us. Like you said, EA Sports customers end up paying the company $60 to test the game & tell them all teh bugs & glitches, instead of working them out for themselves & putting out a COMPLETE PRODUCT.
