      Madden 12 had a super fun team play mode where you could play up to 3v3 with any team you wanted to, and it worked pretty well and was super fun. They took it away after Madden 25, and while the past 2 Maddens have something similar with MUT Squads, it's inferior and not as fun. But running plays a mobile QB like Tim Tebow while the other 2 players are offensive linemen just pancaking people was a hilariously awesome strat.

      @cinemapigeon4898 Před 8 lety +2

      This is true. I don't have M13, but I picked up 25 and 15 used for cheap, and damn, those games are worse in so many ways to 12. In 25, they made the ball carrier so powerful and effective, it's fun and all, but when you play online, you can no longer play good defense, since anyone with any player now runs like Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson (the players who made up the covers of the game). In 15, they took out online team play (my favorite feature that allowed 3v3s online), so now only 1v1s remain. What makes it worse is they're probably going to add back online team play in 17, and it's going to be advertised as a new feature.

    I'm playing madden 15 for the PS3 and connected franchise, the menu and loading are a mess. Madden 15 gameplay is ok but I feel Madden 12 is a good overall package. I'm going back to madden 12. It would be great if another developer could make a football game to rival EA madden. If someone made a decent CFL or Arena Football game I would buy it.

    I have 2 say that a lot of peeps r right this by far is a better game, no repeated cutscenes or players that levitate. The crowd only cheers when the home team scores, celebrations, cheerleaders. If the menus are a let down then hop back into a game & all is well again. What happen stEAl cuz if its in the game, then it was in the game...I heard M15 gets the new beta engine from 13 n 25 its now at 2.0

    @MarzetJunior I catch tip passes in Madden 12. The tackling animation is all new so that falling helplessly to the ground shit doesn't happen. I don't focus on the blocking in the game too much. But what do you want the blocking to be like? In Madden if you run up the middle the gaps close quick just like in real NFL.

  • @CalobAdamsInfamous913
    @CalobAdamsInfamous913 Před 12 lety +1

    This is a good step for EA and Madden. Big Improvement from last year and yes, still a lot of room to improve. But for me, New Engine (Physics, Graphics, Atmosphere, etc.), Mass Upgrade to Franchise and NFL Superstar and New/Life Like gameplay mechanics.

    @eBraulick Because they're probably playing with default rosters, which don't include the recent trades and signings (that mean's no McNabb), and since Favre has retired (hopefully) there were good odds Ponder would start... or maybe they just wanted to show him off

    @TheMontageMasters you're right there's a bunch of tweaks, but a lot of it is in franchise mode. Superstar mode is still very bare bones compared to other sports games. And how about they revamp the create-a-team mode? They've been using the same exact logos and features for about 5 years now and it's repetitive. It'd be nice if they started using Team Builder like NCAA does.

    I feel like Madden 12 is a step back from the last Madden I played, which was 2010. They completely removed the half time recap shows that Madden 10 had. Also, there is a lot of frame-rate stuttering during the player intros at the beginning of the game.

  • @jukeuout907
    @jukeuout907 Před 12 lety

    the play at the end of the review is ridiculous with the broncos and panthers. The running back is moving full sprint ahead and just gets stopped instantly when another player tractor beams him. realistically he should fall sideways and forward since he had momentum building at the one yard line.

  • @scoobywhoproductions9
    @scoobywhoproductions9 Před 12 lety

    There were so many double standards and it's a video I lost count not to mention that on the website the rating was higher than it was in da video review so my biggest complaint about madden is the fact that there is still no wide receiver strafe you cannot turn around and catch the ball and on all madden difficulty setting it is almost impossible to run the ball or defeat the computer

  • @MarzetJunior
    @MarzetJunior Před 12 lety

    @wb1227 watch a video with darrelle revis INT on vincent jackson and tell me if you'll ever see that in madden
    i didnt say u cant catch tipped passes im saying if the ball goes in a certain area (say in between a player's legs) theres no animation to catch it like that so it'll just drop
    and players DO fall helplessly to the ground after 2 players are making a tackle
    there isnt ANY animation for 4+ man tackles like it was on pro tak
    madden has NO physics, all it is is animations

  • @Dedmon319
    @Dedmon319 Před 12 lety

    Another negative is the AI putting your players in horrible position pre-play.
    Also, can we get some gameplanning please? That would make the game more realistic. I would love to be able to set it to where my secondary shades their zones towards a hot receiver without me having to hit a hundred buttons before every play. Or for my linebackers to fake blitzes in order to make the QB think about an audible. And then, depending on the QB's IQ & composure, he could start to catch on and exploit.

    He said the only the only major addition to the core gameplay is defensive assists? What about the fact that they eliminated suction so you wouldn't get sucked into animations with no control over the outcome? Everyone's been asking for that for years and he didn't say shit about it!
