What makes Madden so fancy this year? They try to hype new stuff up every year but IMO most of it is just that... hype.
That was my impression as well. As one of the E3 correspondents said, he could tell from the previews last year that NCAA 11 was going to be the king of football games. He said it appears that Madden will be the king of the hill this year. NCAA 11 was certainly a blast and we had fun in our AT NCAA league, but the big issue with it was that it was restricted to 12 human teams which really sucked.
so someone tell us... what are the new features and improvements for madden this year?
Well, I went ahead and preordered it from Amazon. I decided the $20 credit was too much to pass up since I buy almost everything from Amazon now. I hope I don't regret this choice.
*shakes head in disappointment*
As much as I hate to, I'll pay the $60 every year for the roster update. I'm a diehard Ravensl fan and I just can't play with an old roster. Yes, it really sucks, but I don't really have a choice.
Count me in as interested. May have to '12 it looks decent. I have '10 and it's good enough. Depends what time games are and such and how long the quarters are. Is this for PS3 or Xbox? Count me in the former camp.
You would have probably been OK in the AT Madden 10 league we had that I ran. It was a lot of fun but the problem is that while we got really great response at first (I believe we filled 23 or 24 of the 32 teams in the Madden league), after the first 4 or 5 games, there were less than 10 regulars who kept playing. We made it through 14 or 15 weeks in Madden before calling it quits.
I don't think anyone ran an AT Madden 11 league last year, but I was commissioner of our AT NCAA 11 league and it was a lot of fun but we had the same sort of issue with people dropping out. NCAA's dynasty format wasn't as conducive to a large number of players (you could only have 12 players IIRC) even though the game was great fun.
It would've been interesting to complete a season in either football game. I ended up finishing with the best record in both the Madden and NCAA leagues and it would've been fun to have had human vs. human in the championships.
Sounds like you need to collect $20 from each person. Give most of it back at the end of the season and winner and 2nd place gets a bit extra from those that drop out. It'll drop the number of those interested but at least there'll be something to play for.
... WTF Indy? What do you do that doesn't allow you to... gamble? Also how would they find out?

So, I didn't buy Madden last year and with it looking more and more like we may not have a season, I'm considering buying Madden 12 this year (sorry Cuda!) to get my NFL fix. I've read some summaries of the features and it sounds as if this one may offer some significant improvements, at least over the pile of steaming dung that was Madden 11.
Anyone else looking ahead to Madden 12? Should we try to get another AT league going?
Dude, you play madden? Cool. Only ps3 game I play..
