Madden NFL 12 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (First Half)

[tanner75]

Loved the video but i thought we'd see the uniforms caked in mud and grass with it being a heavy rain game?! trousers are clean and ravens white jerseys.

Liked the turf coming up when sliding on the field but where are the muddy patches??

Looks and sounds good. Uniform deterioration is nice, but hard rain on the Heinz Field surface should yield it looking pretty tore up after a half,
especially between the hash marks. Not a deal breaker but dissapointing.

Let me know if you're still seeing issues when you get the final game.

Speaking of shading. Will the shading in the final game be different from the demo? In the demo I can't really tell that they are shading the direction I'm telling them to.

Big hit tackles nearly every time...

Why is there never some simple wrap up and drag down tackles? Disappointing.

And then how it's magically gone when they line up for the next play? I saw it and was like "SWEET!" only to see it disappear next play...

OH well, maybe next year.

I see those all the time in the demo, I think it may be because people are used to suction tackling and I think if you hit the tackle button like you would have before they push now because they are further away, but if you wait to get close they bring them down and wrap them up. That has been my experience with the game anyway. I hardly ever ''push tackle'' when I'm playing because I wait till I'm really close to the ball carrier to hit the tackle button.

This. The field should be torn to shreds, especially Heinz Field.

It may still be there in replays, I don't know how it works. In real life you wouldn't be able to see something like that from 10 yards away other than as it actually happened, so maybe if you go in replay and look down into the ground you can see it. Probably not, but it's a possibility. Still cool to see it as the play happens though.
