Are EA bloody serious about this game? From this demo nothing has changed and nothing will. Same player models, same running style, they should have borrowed FIFA 12 impact engine to at least give us something new. They won't get my money this year. CRAP!:RANT:

Yeah, played it earlier on the 360 and feel much the same to be honest. It's not a bad game, but not much different from last year bar some nice presentational touches and smoother animations.

I'm a bit disappointed, but will pick it up at a later date after a price drop. I can't see a year's work here to make me part with £40 again.

Damn EA-NFL exclusivity agreement. Madden needs some competition to kick it up the arse.

i will dig it out of my basement, and do that tonight. Backbreaker was a let down and EA are coming up short on most of their sports titles IMO.
 
Look Pepper you mad old duffer, the lighting engine is alot better this year, the grass on the field looks real, the animations are better, player models vary much more, the sheer attention to detail actually makes the game look like it is in HD for once. I have been playing alot of 11 recently, and after playing this demo, it's head and shoulders above it in all of the above.

The demo is also 3 months old, which is strange that they have used it to try and promote the game, I will be getting 12 as I am in a Madden League on 4thString.com. 2K is a great game, and I loved that series, but honestly, for me, the demo has shown it does look true Next Gen, even though we're about to get the 6th Madden game.
 
Now listen Carl you crazy chuffer, for me it just looked like they've touched it up a bit, but i will take in to account the things you have pointed out. But i was looking for bigger hits and new tackling animations. When you get it give it a review and then maybe i'll buy it but better lighting doesn't cut it for me, and imo the player models don't look that much improved.:P
 
Will do Pepper lad, I will be getting it at launch this year, last few years I have waited for price drops too. When I first booted the demo I was like Whoa, this looks different. The hits are bigger this year, and so far I havent seen your RB's being sucked into tackles, or your D-Line or LB's being sucked into block, that was all rubbish animations and engine problems in the last few years.

Overall, it probably will be Emperor's New Madden again, first week will be great, the bugs will appear, we wait for a month for patch that will fix half the problems, but overall, it'll still be better than last years game.
 
I'm really enjoying playing the demo, can definitely notice the differences from Madden 11. It feels really crisp and the players seem more loose and free. I'm finding it easier to break free from the pack on defence not feeling the same vacuum as previous games. Seeing better runs on offense and more individuality on defence. Green Bay in particular are as beastily as real life, Matthews is a steam roller.

I own NCAA 12 and have played that for past few weeks. Whilst I'm enjoying the game, Madden 12 even from the demo feels like more of an improvement on the previous games than NCAA does.
 
how am i going to feel about it, i missed out on 11? 10 was the last installement i played.

no demo for me right now, no gold accout. :)
 
Get it on PSN?????????

Gameflow will be all new for you, tis a great way to get back up to speed. Be the Packers and dominate, or be the Bears and tough it out.

Won as Packers 28v0 with Rodgers getting picked once too.

Won as Bears 23v3, Matt Forte doing the business on the ground, 15 carries, 129 yards and 2 TD's.
