    Official Madden NFL 12 Info Thread

    I figured since Adembroski won't be doing this any longer, that I might as well start up a Madden 12 info thread to log all the info that will be pouring out over the coming months.

    This thread will contain official Madden NFL Blog postings, website/magazine previews & reviews, behind-the-scenes extras; as well as tweets from Ian Cummings (@ian_cummings) & Adembroski (@adembroski), and post from the EA Sports FB page.

    (PS: A sticky would be appreciated.)

      More info on surprise onside kicks, via Ian Cummings' Twitter feed;

        It's probably be better if you put all updates in the first post. Eventually this thread is going to get filled with a lot of conversation, and searching through it for information will become tedious.

            @PioneerRaptor I was already planning on doing that: updating the 1st post with links to blogs, previews and discussions, while leaving the tweets in the thread for community discussion...

                  I just wonder if they do any real improvement to this years Madden game I doubt but surprise onside kicks don't impress.I want game play and QB style throwing motions.

                    Great idea for the sticky Jwill, this will help centralize all of the information we need. I am so excited for '12.

                    I posted this in another thread, but it will get lost with the 1,0938913,0938 posts of people complaining that the first blog did not have big enough news, but I wonder if with this new "surprise onsides kick" mechanic, if EA will/has fixed the actual ball physics themselves? Right now the ball hits the ground as if it has no air in it, or its filled with lard. It doesn't bounce right, or it sits in place and just spins. This has been a huge gripe of mine for a loooooong time, and I'd love to see EA fix this along with the new mechanic. Imagine fumbles, where the guys are fighting for the ball and keep kicking it or knocking it around (like in real life), or punts inside the 20, or tipped passes, etc. It would add soooo much to the game!

                    can't wait for the next podcast/blog

                      Re: Official Madden NFL 12 Info Thread

                      Just yesterday I wrote at length regarding how surprise onside kicks would best be handled in Madden 12. The simplest, though not necessarily most ideal solution, would be to limit it to one attempt per game. Teams don't attempt surprise onside kicks more than once because the opposition is much more aware of the possibility


                      sok once per game

                      How often can the bug be reproduced? That's a question for the developers...I'm not testing this for them...

                          Yeah, I agree.

                          I don't think those who were commenting knew the rules that Madden follows distributing information for their new game.

                          Most of those expressing their thoughts were expecting a big feature to be released on day 1.

                          That much is very clear.

                            ESPN is one of the worst boards online. Every topic is full of people who are way too outspoken, ignorant, uninformed, or racist most of the time. I think that falls under at least two of those categories lol.

                              I know if I was Ian, I would mark that down as not doing that again on ESPN.
