LB & DB blocking passes is ridiculous
PostedNovember 28, 2011
Visually the game is stunning, but that's about where it ends. 90% of the time I pass the ball the LB and DB's are knocking them down. They're knocking down passes which in real life are physically impossible to do so. example I through a 20 yard post... that means I'm 7 yards deep behind line (27 total yards), thus with the arc of my pass to get deep to receiver, the only players that have an op to block pass are SS, FS or DB. However, the MLB jumps up and knocks ball down. How can a 250lb MLB jump 12+ feet in air?? I've seen others write about this, and it kills the game....

Great game for casual and hardcore players.

I really love this game. Many of the complaints from past games have been fixed, while other still exist. Such as, with A.J Green or Calvin Johnson you are able to air out the ball and 9 out 10 he comes down with the ball in triple coverage. I also play the game on All-Pro so it is not like I'm making the catches on rookies. I would like the defense players to have better hands such as when you throw it right at them they actually pick it off and not drop it off 9 out 10 times. Franchise, superstar, madden moments live modes have all returned and each have tweaks to them but Franchise received the most work from the developers. I would enjoy if EA Sports would fix their problem with playing on Xbox Live, there is a constant lag when I'm playing with my friends. It is so bad that my friends and I just gave up on playing on Live and just play against each other when we are at each other houses. This game is good for the casual video game fan who is a hardcore football fan or vice verse. I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I find myself enjoying playing this more sometimes than Modern Warfare 3. I'm also a HUGE football fan so that may also be the reason why I love madden so much. Overall the game is very good only reason I gave it a 9 because of the poor online.

The same but different

Let me start by saying that I used to not buy Madden's year after year. I used to get them every other year or more, but as you get older you start to enjoy football more and more, and that's where this game is fun. That said, let me explain why it's a good game. The gameplay has improved, rushing is a little more difficult. '11 was too easy on that aspect. Additionally, passing is more difficult, too. But that's a good thing, since the other Maddens were all long-passes and long runs for TD after TD. It's more realistic now. By realistic, the score as well as the smoothness of the gameplay. The tackling is a little weird, since it happens unrealistically fast, but the animations are much smoother. When tackling from different directions, the animations are more realistic than just taking him straight down. The graphics also received a big step up. I thought '11's graphics were good, but this one looks even better. There's a couple of funky camera angles now, but it's fine. Most things look better. Not to forget, they changed the super easy kicking to make it more difficult. That's good, since every 50-yard FG attempt was easy as cake before. Not so now. Most importantly is who should get this game? If you play Madden for a month, don't get it. It's different, but still Madden. The gameplay isn't huge enough to drop 60 on if you don't really care much. But like I said a lot earlier, football fans should get this game for updated rosters, schedules, and Madden Moments. If that's not important, then this game shouldn't be yours. I enjoy football enough to care, and my friends all got it so I did. I'm happy I did. It's one of the more noticeable improvements between years so far, even though they didn't add anything, just changed gameplay. Get it if you haven't gotten '11 or even '10, but think twice if you got '11 and threw it aside quickly.

the music is good, perfected the gameflow, and really improved the tackling system which really helped the game thrive but gets a little boring overtime minor changes to madden11
