Madden 12 Worst Game of the Series?

[:1]What a dissapointing year for Madden Football fans. This has to be by far one of the worst Madden Games of the entire series. I could go on and on about all the issues Ive been having since I bought the game but here are a few we can all relate too.

- Linebackers making rediculously high ball swats or picking the ball off way above their heads
- Cornerbacks dropping easy picks.
- User picks and catches are not smooth
- Players glitching through field goal posts, players and stadium bleachers
- Unable to connect to EA servers.
- The commentary is absolutely out of sync and the guy yells for no reason at points after a play is already finished.
- Laggy Games when you are able to connect
- NFL Teams are allowed up to 52 players on their roster, the sideline shows almost 75 players plus the players on the field. not to mention they look like nintendo 64 graphics

I mean this is just the tip of the iceberg. You say "True To the Game" and I have to ask what game is that? You make enough money every year from your fans buying the game not to mention all the sponsorships you get paid from to be placed into in-game ads (gatorade, verizon)...least you could do is correct last years mistakes. Sorry to say but you guys got it completely wrong this year.

Cant wait for FIFA to come out, atleast they actually improve their game every year, not just the rosters...|||


What a dissapointing year for Madden Football fans. This has to be by far one of the worst Madden Games of the entire series. I could go on and on about all the issues Ive been having since I bought the game but here are a few we can all relate too.

- Linebackers jumping 6 feet into the air to swat down or pick a ball
- Players glitching through field goal posts, players and stadium bleachers
- Unable to connect to EA servers.
- The commentary is absolutely out of sync and the guy yells for no reason at points after a play is already finished.
- Laggy Games when you are able to connect
- NFL Teams are allowed up to 52 players on their roster, the sideline shows almost 75 players plus the players on the field. not to mention they look like nintendo 64 graphics

I mean this is just the tip of the iceberg. I will not be picking up another copy if this game for awhile. You guys should be ashamed of yourself for putting out such a * game. You spent too much time worrying about pre-game introductions and not enough on core gameplay mechanics.

Cant wait for FIFA to come out, atleast they actually improve their game every year, not just the rosters...


I just thought I'd point out that while you are saying they didn't focus on core gameplay mechanics, your main complaints are players walking through the stands, and bad looking sideline players. Only one of your complaints was about "core gameplay mechanics"|||Ok...

Servers are being addressed right now as we speak.

Games lagging are probably due to YOUR connection or your Opponents.

Sideline players graphics arent spectacular but they do look a little better than before.

Players running through goal posts and endzones does look a little sloppy but personally i dont think its a huge deal.

Linebackers dont jump 6 feet in the air, thats a little extreme.



Personally, most of these gripes you have are the least of many madden fans worries, but if that makes you think this is the worst madden of this generation then you should work for IGN.com

Also, stanimal makes a good point. You say they didnt focus enough on core mechanics for gameplay but at no point were any of your issues about gameplay. lol

Cmon man|||

Like I said that was just the tip of the iceburg, If you want I will gladly go into detail on gameplay mechanics. Like the auto sprint and auto strafe. You cannot sit there and tell me that this game has improved gameplay wise since the last two years. All they have done is focused on visuals and introduction and not running and catching mechanics.

Like I said its my opinions but I am unsatisfied with this years game. Listen to the commentary in your next game and its laughable.|||

I'll admit commentary is horrendous. But auto sprint and auto strafe can be turned off. I just have a feeling this is the same syndrome that happened when the new NCAA came out. The new game forces you to use a football strategy instead of the same old money play strategy, and people don't know how to handle it. I'm able to pass the ball at will once I set up the running game. If I don't establish the running game, it makes it significantly more difficult to pass. Gameplay is the best in series IMO.|||How can you advertise "True to the game" and simple things like the number of players on a team during a game is well over the allowed 53 man roster. Now of course you moderators are gonna go aginst what I said like pointing out the fact that I didnt specify gameplay mechanics, however if you read my post I said I would point out a few things that we could all relate too. Pay more attention to detail instead of sticking up for EA Sports.|||Really, this game is worse than 2006. Now that Madden was bad, IMHO, this is the best Madden of this generation.|||I gotta agree with Stanimal032 on this one. This is the best game in the series so far IMO.|||

Not sticking up for EA sports. Just stating that your argument was that gameplay was bad when you didn't give an example of gameplay mechanics being messed up. Your main points were little mixups and visual glitches that honestly (I've played around 20 games) I haven't even noticed with the exception of super LBs|||

I dont "stick up For EA" however I will point out that those things shouldnt define whether or not this is the best (or worse) Madden of next gen.

The tackling is better, the zones are more intelligent with the A.I., Player models are improved, and Offline Franchise is better than last years.

This game is better than Madden NFL 11 isnt it.|||

Im not here to argue with you guys , just very dissapointed with this years madden. Obviously like myself you guys are a big fans like myself, and I was not blown away with this years game. I just wish simple things like what I have mentioned would have been corrected. They make enough money and theirs enough time before each game to get rid of these easy gameplay errors.|||

Well you are definitely entitled to your opinion! I just was very impressed with it this year. I sold Madden 11 back within about a month of getting it and this one seems like a keeper to me. I'm having a blast with it.|||when will there servers be back up
