Madden NFL 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[pjmoore 28]

After my first game, I really enjoyed the demo. I lost the game by 4 points but I missed two field goals as well. This new kicking method will take some getting used to. If they have an option, I'll probably go back to the old way on the retail version.

Agree 100%, and the super linebackers are gone also. A couple posters have said they're in Madden 12, but I didn't see them in any of the games I played. The problem ( in NCAA 12) is with the trajectory; that's the cause of the super LBs. That's why they can make plays on balls thrown to receivers that are ten yard away from them. There's no arch ( unless it's a 45 yard pass) to the passes in NCAA 12; thankfully, there is in Madden.

It's still early, and who knows what problems with creep up in the retail version, but the game-play seems to be on par with that other game.

Don't like the tackling in this game. Why is every tackle an earth shattering tackle? The computer controlled team especially. One thing that was good about protak was that it provided a lot more gang and wrap up tackles. The momentum is always negated as well from these ridiculous big hit tackles.

The rest of the gameplay just feels stale and boring. Nothing real specific, just the overall package including animations. This coming from someone who has not bought a Madden game since 09.

How long have you been playing Madden for? Madden 04/05/06 all had this exact kicking system.

It's better as it reflects the accuracy rating, lower rating = smaller window for 100% accuracy window and meter moves back down to bottom much faster. high rating = wider 100% accuracy window, moves much slower to get better accuracy.

am I doing something wrong or is the kick meter not registering the 3rd button press an awful lot of the time?

Hmm... has anyone else noticed way too many over the shoulder interceptions on deep passes? I think I've seen three in four games.

Also I haven't had a single surprise onside kick work yet, so I'll probably never use that.

QB sneak vs. a base defense is way too powerful. I had 3 and 1, so I QB sneaked it and the CPu cam put in a regular base defense and I easily got 8 yards. Plus when you do this the Qb takes off pretty quick...Its kind of weird actually

I notice it too. I have missed PAT and kicked out of bounds on kickoffs several times per game.
