Madden 2012's big features

Drum roll please! Maddens 3 biggest features for it's annual football game will be.

1. Analog passing- use the right analog stick to throw the football. Put the the right amount of touch for a lob pass or drill the stick forward to fit the ball into a tight spot.
*I believe this is the primary reason they moved pre play adjustments to the dpad.

2. New and improved leg to ground reaction (insert 2012 buzzword)- feel like you're running on the grid iron like never before. Sense the feet plant as you make a cut, feel the separation from the ground as you hurdle or dive over the goal line.
*most immersive addition to madden ever

3. Deeper franchise mode- Basically the same franchise mode as NFL head coach 2009 albeit some missing pieces here and there and the ability to upload your NCAA roster to online leagues.
*Gamers will still complain about it being the same as NFL head coach 2009 and it not being offered online.

Let me know what you think. Would these 3 additions sell you on Madden 2012 or would you sit out. I have a strong feeling this is what we will be getting.

Analog passing could be interesting. Those 3 aren't exactly ground breaking IMO. I'd really like to see them develop Superstar mode. It's frustrating that Career modes have been so plain so far, there's soooo much potential to really make it fun.

ya i agree, I would like to see superstar mode be alittle more interesting... i was kinda interested in Madden07 but now its boring and they've taken some features away...

now on the feet planting and more realistic that would be a great feature. But now with the passing control how would u control who your passing too? I figure aim it towards the direction u wanna throw it but what if there's two guys in that area? I would also find it very hard to say hold the x button and try to sling it with the right analog... while still trying to move around in the pocket...(almost impossible)

are these actually hints to whats coming? any details?

Analog passing is the only thing I like on the list.. Honestly even if this is true I'm tired of madden.. @ least there should be some comp coming soon with the College contract ending with EA Last week. I pass on madden until 2k makes a college football game or NFL.

I'm pretty sure anyone could have been in on the college market. But either way I don't see 2k jumping into college considering they didn't renew College Hoops.

classic madden..... one of their BIG NEW FEATURES... is FIXING something. Leg to Ground? So NOW they realize people don't want to ice skate all over the field? They're such a joke. How bout, taking a lesson from backbreaker and introduce something actually interesting. Physics based tackles maybe? And they wonder why there sales PLUMMET every year.

Analog is the future of sports games. Passing has been extremely easy in previous Maddens with the exception of 06. Analog passing is coming!

they should also allow u to stand guys up to get creamed by another teammate. i hate it when i cant smear a RB fighting off a tackle. am i making sense? evrybody knows tht if suggs is trying to bring peterson down but is struggling, lewis is going to pop him b4 peterson gets loose... if lewis is nearby.
