Madden NFL 12 kicks off August 30

@awetzel Darn you PC gamers and your common sense.

So it's like Madden 11 - 2 since absolutely nothing has changed in the NFL. Oh wait this is Madden so that won't be a problem.... I'm so crazy guys don't pay attention to me.

This time you get better graphicx and updated teamz and the featurez u luv but we took away but we will give it back but then take something away. Don't worry u will get it back just keep giving us munnyz, k? TYVM!!

EA Sports confirmed that player concussions will factor more importantly into this year's installment lol. Got to love the madden team. They been milking that old cow for a long time. Madden 06 re released in 2011 with roster updates. I bet the DLC is already finished lmao.

Lockout 12 will be great with Peyton Hillis on the cover.

By the way dont expect another PC version ever. They started losing money in PC because people stopped buying the new versions. I mean why would you? All the new versions ever gave you were roster updates which Modders made much more accurately and new menu's and music. Everything else has pretty much stayed the same. So they switched to console exclusive where they control the rosters and moke the game unmoddable forcing people to by each new useless installment.

It will be Madden 11 Repackaged which was 10 repackaged which was 9 repackaged which was 8 repackaged. See a pattern ??

Hey EA, how about incorporating some common sense and allowing the defensive player to play from the defensive point of view instead of this 15 year long annoying ?Offensive Only? camera angle. Actually just allow the player to adjust the camera angle at any 360 degree view just like a RTS; far away, close up, either side line like Tecmo Bowl, offense or defense. I might actually consider buying my 1st Madden game in what 9-10 years now. Lol

breaking news: some lame company has decided to make another boring *** shooter the game is called Crysis in the BattleField: The Call of Resistance Modern Warfare 3. Coming Soon. pre-order today and get some lame gun & rocket launcher to use online against your friends. pre-order now

This game is gonna blow just like the rest cuz they care more about everything else and gameplay is ALWAYS last. Again, they are focusing on graphics and presentation when GAMEPLAY needs to be fixed first cuz its HORRIBLE

Make it better than Madden 11 please......also isnt releasing Madden 12 slightly pointless until we know if theres going to actually be a season this year?

no pc wtf

breaking news: some lame company has decided to make another boring *** shooter the game is called Crysis in the BattleField: The Call of Resistance Modern Warfare 3. Coming Soon. pre-order today and get some lame gun & rocket launcher to use online against your friends. pre-order now.agree

Madden 2012 + NFL Lockout = no need to worry about roster updates

@ohjtbehaaave Dude, I had not heard that about Ian Cummings leaving! You just made my day! Good riddance to that mutt. That's step 1 out of the way. Step 2: Kill the exclusivity deal. Once the latter is done we may actually have a shot at a decent NFL game.

im sorry but i lost interest in madden after madden 10. nothing changes in terms of gameplay. they just change the main menu and the songs. sorry ea, but youll never be able to top nfl 2k5:)

no PC???????????????????????????????????

2K owns Madden!

@baystatethrashr breaking news: some lame company has decided to make another boring *** shooter the game is called Crysis in the BattleField: The Call of Resistance Modern Warfare 3.

Nothing new. no point in getting 12 if you have 11 lol. oh oh wait. 3D Grass is new.. that is all

@JJMikhail You are correct. I haven't put 1 dollar towards the franchise since the NFL exclusivity. Keep in mind for the first few Maddens, I got my entire dorm to be involved in a league that I kept stats on in my Laptop. I made schedules, had team stats, individual stats. Until the MONOPOLY passes, I won't buy it. Sorry Madden, it's not me, it's you.

Now I know that they spend a lot of time on these games but why cant they make an actual nice looking crowd. Even if they cut and pasted it on EA's other sport games?

And in other news the sun will come up tomorrow.

Madden 4 ever

NFL Blitz > Madden

Can not wait already pre-ordered right along side NCAA Football 12 and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2012. To all your haters out there. what elese are you gonna play that week ? While most of you haters out there will be playing your mindless shooters like Resistance 3 witch comes out 2 weeks after madden and Gears of War 3 witch comes out 4 weeks after madden. i'll still be playing madden while the rest of you are get bord shooting stuff amd are getting ready to move to a different game i'll be still playing madden all the time saving my money while you guys go out and spend your money,...boy no wonder you kids today are always broke.

@PixelAddict Then why do those who whinge so much in life still buy it year after year when a demo or independent reviews or rentals are enough to convince one or the other to buy the game? Don't understand one's logic when it comes to complaining, EA are NOT forcing you to spend your money.

nice music... coming to a theater near you in summer 2011... Madden 12.

I miss the 2k series. Isn't EA's agreement with the players assoc almost over?! PLEASE!!

The biggest rip off in gaming history. A game where they brush up the graphics and tweak the game play very little from game to game. If you think about the amount of money this company makes off of this game, Madden should be a graphics king and on the cutting edge of gameplay.

The Madden franchise is the most expensive patch you can have.

One has to wonder how well it'll do if the season ends up getting canceled.

Boring!!! I guess im not a football game anytime soon until someone other than EA makes the game hopefully 2K games

The only game to do football better than Madden was the secret football sim hidden in Halo: Reach. Now, THAT was football. J-E-T-S

I'm not surprised at all. Even if football was cancelled, EA would continue making Madden NFL games.

@packers91 Your team already won the Super Bowl. Don't get all whiny on us now. You don't want your boy on the cover anyways... because the cover means he'll get smacked around and his concussion-itis will leave him staring off even more vacantly than he already does.

@JJMikhail Um.. it sells well because it's the ONLY NFL game!

Madden sucks...who cares. They can release it whenever they want, it'll be the same game as last year and the year before and the year before with a new cover athlete, some new canned animations and roster update. EA and the NFL ruined video game football.

Agreed. It bears repeating: The lack of NFL-licensed competition allows Electronic Arts to be less than motivated to innovate. The situation is certainly different for their non-exclusive NBA-licensed offering.

Here's my I-don't-care-about-roster-updates face. : |

Sweet new roster update August 12th, but I really don't wanna spend $60 on it.

The last Madden I own is Madden 10 and I haven't even played it much. I have no plans of getting 2012 edition. I might get NCAA this year. EA really need to do some reboots on these games like they are doing with SSX. I know NBA Elite was a fairly, but at least they are trying with that series. Same needs to be down with Madden & Fifa. NHL I think is fine.

Let's boycott this sh*t this year! Who's with me?

I hope this game does well; I'd like to see a sequel, maybe some time next year.

This doesn't exactly make them look good from a PR standpoint; a lot of people accuse them or rehashing material every year for $60 and releasing another game even if there's no NFL could solidify this in some people's minds.

lol i never ever liked madden in my entire life. never saw the appeal of something i can do in real life like football. i like fantasy games more.(the funny thing is people expect me to like it because i'm a black dude lol)

@valcrist09 It sells well because it's a good game.

And what about the 3DS? EA has yet to even say if it really will continue producing games on it.

Oh great, emphasis on concussions! Now there will be even more injuries to disrupt the game! This isn't realistic. You've added another way to bog down an already watered down game. I love football but I don't love mediocre features in recycled games.
