First video coming next week.  If they do not have progressive lighting in this year I will hunt Ian and Phil down and beat them over the head with Madden 2007 and the PS2 games that had this.

Congrats to EA on what may possibly be the weakest game trailer ever.

Does that really surprise you? All these teaser trailers are a waste of time.

Multiple sources have informed me there are some major changes taking place at EA Tiburon specifically relating to the Madden NFL franchise. Several high level members of the development team are apparently on their way out and may be joining a new studio that is being founded by a former Tiburon executive. When made public some of the names exiting the studio will be immediately recognizable to those who closely follow the series.
On Friday The Orlando Business Journal reported on the new social gaming studio, to be known as Row Sham Bow, that is creating 60 “high wage” jobs in the Orlando area (also home to Tiburon). Job postings for the company began going up earlier this month.
It is unknown at this time what if any impact would be had on the development of Madden NFL 12 or even if those individuals would be leaving immediately. As of publish time request for comment from EA Sports had not been returned.

Well I gave it two days out of courtesy, but now I'll state that Ian Cummings is the biggest name leaving Tiburon/Madden.

EA Sports has announced that Madden NFL 12 will release on Tuesday August 30th. That represents a sharp move away from the anticipated second Tuesday in August that has become tradition for the franchise.

They twittered an in game screenshot.  At least the kicking meter is new, I hated last years.

Small little rant here but whoever at OS decided that all the links created by Mods/Admins should be red should be flogged. That is just an eyesore.

Speaking at the press event being held by the company, Tiburon football GM Cam Weber touched on the vision going forward for the Madden NFL franchise. Of note is that there is a new “three year plan” underway with features already mapped out through Madden 14. The size of the development team is expected to be doubled as well. That news might be an attempt at reassuring consumers that the company is invested in advancing the franchise despite the turmoil and uncertainty now being experienced due to big changes within the current development team.

Oh you have to love those THREE YEAR PLANS.  Where in the world in Ben Brinkman these days, he had one of those nifty three year plans with the MLB 2K series.

[BDSooner72]

Year one plan complete.




Cheerleaders and of course a new kick meter.     Definitely giving Game-planning a run for it's money.

Hahahahah,they don't have a clue

Hillis vs Vick in the finals.  Everyone get out there and vote for the guy who did not kill a bunch of dogs.

[Jason]

I have two points to make:

   
• I agree with Brent...don't vote for the asshole that killed a bunch of dogs.
• Why do people give a shit about who is on the cover of Madden?

[BDSooner72]

Because Madden is one of the big Franchises in the gaming market and it is usually the first bit of info we get on a new Madden?  I really can't tell you but those people are nowhere as bad as the ones that make custom covers because the player is not on their team/they do not like the player.

Weakest game trailer followed up by two more waste of time trailers.  Wow, the Bills are going back the white helmets from the OJ days.
