3) the pocket(meaning both ol/dl interacting together which forms the pocket) only affects the qb i would say about 20% of the time. usually when there is pressure or a sack, 80% of the time it happens because the d-linemen beats a blocker in a shove contest and proceeds to the qb. in real life, d-line and o-linemen STRUGGLE to do what they do on sundays. remember the pocket drill in mini-camp on madden 04? that drill would be irrelevant in todays maddens because its more of a wall than a pocket

Yeah the mirror route running is definitely not pretty to look at when you notice it. However most will never pay attention to that unless it was happening to the primary target.

This drive was efficient and on point in regards of it being "Madden-esque" style of gameplay. The problem with M12 is the user-controlled running is arcade-like, there isn't tandem O/Line blocking on pass plays. No user-controlled pass placement. DB/WR press coverage and route jostling isn't present or has too basic animations. Plus, governed AI is a problem as well. That's why I gave it 4/10, but Madden 13 will WOW some, impress others, while some will hate it blindly.

Thanks for the post glad you could share your thoughts about the drive.

[dts]

You're entitled to your opinion. I respect that.

[TheSgtBrown]

Sorry I believe with some sort of dev competition EA will make drives like this a normalcy throughout the entire game....

[akaBPhife]

Thanks for that .. Sim is in your blood Smitty.

a dive play is more of a one direction type of deal. 60% of your blockers have to to be block great in order for you to break a long run on a toss play(a la ea's kick returns). on a toss play anything can happen, you can reverse field, or you can even score with no one blocking( which are how kick returns are in real life). devin hester is great not because of his blockers, but because of his superior running vision. running vision is 80% irrelevant when it comes to ea's kick returns.

The video was not intended for aggressively responding to other opinions.

Good gameplay, and good drive, just to me, it looks more like madden than football. I'm really excited for madden 14 or 15, after they fix the issues with the physics engine (because there will be issues), and improve footplanting and make the players lean when they turn (as well as lose speed when turning to eliminate zigzag running).

in this vid at the play at the 4:55 mark thats the start of the play where frank gore ran in between the right guard and tackle right after he got 2 the second level there was a consecutive tackle at end the play was a plus but there was also a lb #59 just fell 2 the ground and dont even try 2 tell me #76 was trying 2 block him like he should have

[akaBPhife]

I see junky I can respect your perspective.

[akaBPhife]

lol always thought the Special teams gameplay was tacked on or never looked at as a priority.

1) 1:14-1:18 the 49ers kick return units magnetically "attach" themselves to defenders and then "magically" let go once ted gin reaches them. thats why when ted gin got tackled, there was about 4 more defenders next to ginn. the kick returns in this game is to scripted. ea treats kick returns like dive plays which is not the case( i have played kick return before and it is not the case trust me lol). a kick return is more like a toss play, anything can happen in a toss

[THEWAM]

2) 2:58-3:02 watch the CB on josh morgan. watch how is able to stay in front of morgan(who is running forward) by turning around in the middle of his back pedal. in real life the CB would be either side-by-side or a little bit behind morgan according to the inhuman move the CB pulled off.

[akaBPhife]

Not a problem I would have edited it out if it was a big deal. Your good!

[dts]

I never said anything about a review, you did. Lastly, like I said above, you're entitled to your own opinion, and if you've been following TSS, you wouldn't even be asking these questions. Good day sir.

[TheSgtBrown]

Yes it did. I actually liked it. My problem is that ea games have been looking generic since 09. No one on these games have individuality outside of their appearance. Madden 12 has flashes of pure football but there are also pure headscratchers. I believer

[SiRGEtRitE]

thats madden 12 player i still see the tumble weed physics where they get stuck in a animation and when somebody else wants 2 come and knock the rb or wr backwards they just fall 2 the side like all fuck it
