I'm pretty excited about NCAA and Madden. I think it's funny how most forum posters and journalist talk about all the things improved in the new version only to complain that it's the same game once it's released. I liked Madden 11 a lot and think the upgraded presentation and new blocking/tackling system in 12 will add a lot to an already good game.

What some people need to understand is that this is a video GAME. I can understand people wanting EA to make the best game possible, but there's a fine line between realism, fun and frustration. Many people also need to understand that the AI will NEVER play as well as a human, especially on a $200 piece of hardware. Maybe if Big Blue were powering the AI in Madden it would be able to accurately represent human thinking, but until then, be a little more realistic with your expectations. Go back and play a football game on the Genesis and you can see we've come a long way.

On Friday the first two new central features for Franchise mode in Madden NFL 12 were revealed to be Dynamic Player Performance and Player Roles. Now a whole list of improvements in addition to those have been uncovered.
The Pre-Season will be taking on some importance through roster cuts and player ratings being uncovered, a free agency “bidding” process â€" which looks to be straight out of NFL Head Coach â€" has been added, enhanced scouting is being introduced and more. Continue on to check out the Franchise features and leave any thoughts in the comments!
•Dynamic Player Performance: Player ratings fluctuate based on consistency and confidence.
•Player Roles: More than 20 roles (Playoff Performer, Trench Warrior) affect player and team stats throughout the season.

Madden NFL executive producer Phil Frazier is departing EA Sports. That has been confirmed today by the company which also noted that Roy Harvey will be taking over the position going forward.

Harvey has been the executive producer on the NCAA Football series and joined the company in 2003. That leaves the NCAA head spot left open and likely to be filled in the near future.
