Madden 12 Demo

Mutant wrote:So...finally played it.

Some thoughts:

1. New kicking meter is crap
2. New camera view is awkward but there's probably an option to make it "closer".
3. Blocking is much improved.
4. I can actually run up the middle for more than a 1-2 yard gain
5. Cutler is a bitch

I lost 21-16 though cos I'm shit at controlling safeties and CBs which is how I lost - Cutler hit his WR on a deep ball.

Also failed 2-pt conversion after scoring a TD.

If I were to do that, I don't think I will be buying and new video games for a while. (120 dollars ) and the sad part is, I don't even play video games that often. Damn..

If you do, do this. Trade-in NCAA to Amazon for $33.75 and then buy Madden at Amazon and you get a $20 gift card. So you're pretty much buying Madden for $6.75!

WHy don't you like the new kicking meter bro?? Did you just LOVE the huge rainbow one at the bottom of the screen?? I mean just press RT and you get the normal kicking camera.

The rainbow one was crap as well. Way to easy to smash a touchback on kick-offs even with weaker legged kickers.

You could almost smash it out of play with someone like Rhys Lloyd.

I suppose I don't like the new one because I'm bnot used it it yet.
