I Really Think EA Is Turning It Around

[PatsRDaBest1283]

Based on everything I've seen game play wise from Madden 12, I can honestly say its looked the best it has ever on next gen. The offensive line - defensive line interaction is looking great, not perfect but acceptable. They FINALLY got rid of the suction blocking that we all hated so much and finally made it so tackles happen when contact occurs, not when a player is a yard or two away from them. Defense in general just looks a lot better and actually playable so now it looks like this year you may have defensive games also and not just offensive shootouts. The one thing that I am questionable on right now is the CB-WR interaction. It looks a little improved but still not fixed, hopefully it shouldn't be a noticeable problem. I guess when the demo comes out we'll know a little bit more. I say if we are all satisfied with the demo, we are gonna love the final game because obviously the demo is released as a beta I believe. What do you guys think about EA now? Do you think they are finally starting to turn it around?

I really loved Madden 10 and 11 but yes i think Madden 12 looks to be headed in the right direction for sure!

The only thing is, if the online play is laggy like it was at the start of last year it's gonna ruin it for me. Other than that i know it's gonna be a great game.

Everyone is entitled to say what they want but I don't understand comments like these. Somebody makes a thread expressing they think EA is turning around and of course others will disagree. That's life.

It's not like there is overwhelming historic evidence to support what the OP thinks versus the other side. In fact, a strong argument can be made that historical evidence leans towards the OP being wrong.

Every reasonable gamer that wants a NFL football game to enjoy, hopes that the OP is right and NFL football represented in Madden will continue to consistently improve going forward, as long as they are the only NFL game available.

That said, it makes rational sense for anyone to think EA still will not turn it around considering the pattern of some steps forward and more steps back, the past 6 years.

I tend to agree with the OP on this one. I dont know what it is, but looking at the Falcons/Eagles video yesterday I was getting the feeling that the atmosphere in general has changed in the game. I was trying to picture myself playing as the Eagles who were the visiting team and started feeling nervous like I do in NCAA when I have to go up to somewhere like Ohio State. You might think its stupid but whatever.....

Anyways, the bottom line is is that they have greatly improved on presentation and with the pass defense is improved like they say along with franchise mode, this will be the first year that I will be immersed in two football videogames at once.
