I picked it up this morning and have been playing for a few hours. I like what I see so far, the Texans are much more fun to play with now with their new defense. My only issue is it is still really easy to move the ball on offense, whether it be against other users or against the computer. Maybe it's just me, but the graphics seem to be a major improvement from last year, has anyone else noticed this?
Can you get a pass rush? How is the run game? I hear the menus suck. Also hear picking defenses suck. And also calling audibles.
This is the only one I know of, it has the rosters before the update: http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/videogames/madden12ratings/_/team/buf/id/2/buffalo-bills
I've been able to get a pretty decent pass rush, although it seems like the quarterbacks are able to get passes off a lot right before I hit them, so I haven't gotten a whole lot of sacks. I feel like it's fairly easy to run the ball. I was even able to run it effectively with Ben Tate who is only a 69 overall on the game right now. I've tried a few different defenses and they all seem pretty generic, but I do like Baltimore's defense the most so far as it has both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes. With the accelerated clock it's hard to audible much, I seem to burn through my timeouts really fast because of that.
After playing Madden 2011 all year and purchasing 2012 yesterday, I just learned that the right stick is used for pass rush moves... Lol, unbelievable right?! I was able to get a decent rush with DE/LB's without knowing this, so I can't wait to get home from work and see what type of havoc I can wreak now.
