Monty goes with the crowd here I'm with u jimbo. He finally bought into madden cause theres more money to win. "your in the minority" lol like that means anything.
Madden blows hard cock. So fucking slow I want to take a nap. Might be a year ahead of NCAA but its 50 years behind in game speed it's embarrassing. if I wanted to play slow shit I'd throw on dilelia on 94.7 sunny 95.

Madden is to football games as what the graphite shaft is to golf. It's more forgiving due to the lack of user skill being used. Madden has everything to do with play calling and pre snap movement and very little to do with in game user ability. How is that any fun at all. It's like a structured video almost. And sloooooooooow.

Madden 05 was the best football game made. Its ashame that the next gen football games are more flawed then the last gen but I have not played Madden 12 yet its in the mail so we will. I thought Madden 08, APF 2k8, and ncaa 09 were decent games but I still prefer madden 05.

I bet ncaa 13 will have less new features and will have no bugs(or atleast cleaned up of the most part) in other words they will try and make it all ncaa 12 was supposed to be.

if what jang and ohgeez say about play calling be the most important part of the game is true, what is wrong with that?
I would much rather get beat by someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to play-calling then by a little bitch who has sick user skills and runs 2 plays on offense and 2 plays on defense.

I agree with Eberry. That just makes it a chess match and thats what I play for is to make the game a chess match and you have to use some football knowledge.

Then why don't you go buy NFL coach. Football games are ment to combine user skill and play calling not just one or the other.

What is the fun in not having anything to do with the game? Some of you guys act like your Vince Lombardi... X's and O's guru...
If you dont have any user ability it doesnt matter unless your playing someone who is completely inapt to the game of football.

I never said that I was all for one or the other (user skills vs play-calling), I'm just for having a good balance between the two. If you think NCAA has a better balance than Madden, you're on drugs.

Good user skills on defense in Madden makes you a beast. On NCAA, you just need to wait for a couple 3rd/4th down dropped passes and you're golden.

So i've played like 10 games on/offline and have come away extremely pleased with the gameplay.
Running is fluid...just gotta remember to not sprint behind the line at all or your blocks wont get set up. Pulling guards/fb's/etc actually block. Only thing I'm having trouble with right now is fumbling a lot...anyone got any tips aside from getting big hit all the time and raping L1?
Passing is awesome online...offline it's a little bit more tricky. I'm the Dolphins and Henne has been sacked like 20 times in 4 games (on all-madden, but still). Online it's pretty much NCAA except that throwing high usually means overthrowing by 5-10 yards with anyone but an exceptional QB (the way it should be).
Hot Routes are weird at first, but if you get used to them (still trying to) then they are a lot more efficient than NCAA's method.
Audible system is a vast improvement over NCAA...especially since you can see the play diagram before switching to one of your quick audibles (run, quick pass, deep pass, pa).
Special teams is fun again...KR/PR for scores is definitely not out of the question. Only thing that's annoying is the fact that you can block a kick at least once a game by just running around the edge, sometimes without even timing it up.
Only beef I have with this game is the commentary. Holy shit, it is terrible. Gus Johnson screaming is awesome, but what he is screaming makes no sense whatsoever. I've heard him say Kurt Coleman (Eagles S, OSU alum) is kicking it off even though I was the one receiving and KC was not on the field.
All in all, gameplay is all that matters, so I'll give it an 8.5 outta 10. Coulda been a 9/9.5 with some cleaning up of the commentary and fixing some little presentation things, but with updated rosters and "FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW!!!" I'm sure I'll be happy for months (or at least until BF3 comes out...i see you dbgt!)

I traded Chris Johson my first season to Saints for Ingram, Hassalback to Denver for Tebow,Britt and first round pick to ATL for Julio, went undefeated(preseason included) Ingram rushed for 2,397 yards on 251 carries 26 TD. Tebow was 259/364 for 1,147 yards w 3 int and 17 TD. Julio had 2 KO and a Punt return for TD's 11 rec TD and 874 yards. Just signed Hightower after Colts cut him in camp. Also traded trying to trade for Maze.
