How excited are you for Madden 12?

[BlueNGold]

Now with the flood of info coming our way, I figure it'd be a good time to ask this question and see how people are feeling about the game.

I'm cautiously optimistic. But I started the day with Madden 12 firmly on my not-to-buy list this year.

There hasn't been any discussion I've seen on the in-game commentary, and I'm worried about the custom playbooks. Will that result in gamers with a book full of undefendable money plays? Another thing I'm hopeful of is AI man-assigning top CBs to top WRs. In the Seattle playbook, there's a series of 4-wide shotgun plays where the top WRs line up in the slot. Against the AI, this resulted in guaranteed big plays as my 1 & 2 WRs would overcome the AIs 3 & 4 CBs.

But if they have improved Offline Franchise/ game play/ presentation by as much as they're hyping, I reckon I'd be willing to give Tiburon another 60 of my dollars in the hope they continue the way they're going. Either way it's good news.

i'm set to buy the next 85 maddens.

All these last updates made me want the game on day 1, but if play the demo and the fell feel too much m11 then i will change my opinion.

I was set to buy the game last week.

They mentioned improving franchise mode, but at this point were pretty vague. If they finally give us a franchise mode that is better than the PS2 days (Which they still haven't done somehow) I might jump back in.

i fall between cautiously optimistic and not excited. The info sounds great but i'd be lying if i said i'm excited for the game. I still might not even get the game simply because NCAA Football is a more exciting franchise and i play it more often.

On a 1 to 10 scale, qwerty.

If the game came out tomorrow, I'd be in line for it right now, basically.
