[Jamal]

Can't wait. I'm going to pick it up first thing in the morning.

[JO_75]

I'm excited... going to Gamestop soon to finalize my payment and finish paying off and than coming back to watch the rest of WWE Raw and head back after Raw to pick up the game. What's the word on the Updated Rosters and when they are suppose to come out?

[Ravens_fan_24]

[Purple Punishment]

Picking mine up tonight at Midnight. Anyone going to be on the sticks too?

[JO_75]

If you guys want to check this out, I just saw this on Pasta Padre and it talks about Franchise Mode in detail and what he saw, and it seems pretty impressive.

-The playoffs did seem to ramp up the presentation with the pre-game flyovers, a few new sideline cut scenes, playoff screen wipes, and on-field logos. I couldn’t get a feel for whether the crowd noise was any different. The biggest issue though is that the commentary was no different than a pre-season or regular season game.

- Contracts can be "Evenly Distributed", "Front Loaded" or "Back Loaded"

- NCCA 12 Import: Still messed up a bit, as a SS went # 1 Overall, a Punter was drafted at # 10 overall, and 2 Kickers were taken in the Second Round.[/quote]

after playing the demo i am wondering why there is no spring button like in all madden games and NCAA 12

[JO_75]

Just got back from Gamestop and I already have Madden 12 in my PS3 lol. One thing I noticed is if you log in to your PSN/Xbox Account it already pops up saying there is a update available for Madden. Also something that made me mad, the intro video shows a whole bunch of teams and plays, and they included the Troy P sack & fumble on Joe from last year....[img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png[/img]

Commentary is improved on the storyline front, playing a quick game between Ravens/Steelers and they have Gus talking about Joe being a 4th Year guy from Delaware, Ben being drafted in 2004, but the problem is they recorded so much of it that they miss the next play while still talking about a player.

You can turn off auto sprint if you'd like, though.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Torrey is much better in the game than he is in real life...

[TheRavenouseD2008]

is there a roster update yet

[Ravensstrike4424]

Yes, there is an update. It has Evans, Ricky Williams, and Leach on the team, so it's accurate as of that period of time. However, McKinnie is not on the team, of course. So it's accurate, but not of too recently (i.e. Kirk Morrison is still a FA). LaQuan Williams isn't in the game right now, however.

You cannot as far as I know.

[T-ray]

Can you still, you know, turn off the salary cap in franchise mode?? I loved doing that and building up a Redskins organization!! All hail Dan Snyder LOL..... just kiddin'

[H8R]

thats what it looks like =( ,or i was hoping i could put how many years the player is pro to 1 but no dice

[AwakenTheDemon]

Returning punts has been next to impossible...

[Purple Punishment]

One thing I really like in the attention to detail in the game is when I scored Anthony Allens first career TD, the announcers were right on top of it!

Returning Punts....better off just going for the fair catch. I imported my NCAA12 class after the preseason but have yet to see them in FA. Maybe they are up for draft after the first season.

Anyone on PSN got it yet? Im ready to play someone

[Purple Punishment]

If LaQuan makes the team, will they have him on a later update?

Without a doubt they will. Probably won't have a picture, much like Tim Barnes, but he'll be in the game.

I can't wait to get home from work and play this game, I had my brother pick it up for me lastnight b/c i had to be in at 6am. He's been txting me all day rubbing it in on how good the game is. I just hope that they came through with all the things they said they were going to put in it. Madden has slowly started to get better since moving to the NextGen systems, it's sad to say that NFL2K5 was the best football game but hopefully after this year Madden can take back that title. Also the cover player needs to be the MVP. Payton Hillis is a good player don't get me wrong but it needs to be uniform. 2 more hr's until I get to play grrrrr

[Token]

Having a lot of fun with Superstar mode.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

we have a barnes are there any players with the last name of nobles we can atleast add to the practice squad

[T-ray]

Quick Q.... how do you get the rosters after the CBA was finalized?? I'm stuck with the rosters from before the CBA was done.

[Bltravens]

You have to go online to do it.

that. go online to update your roster!

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yay for more screw up by EA Sports.

Apparently, the way they "fixed" the imported draft class logic is by completely deactivating it. I've uploaded by 2012 Class four times, each time the class is not imported even though it goes through the motions that it is. Instead, I get the default generic class.

Also, custom playbooks are busted. I went through and created one for the Ravens (the default Baltimore playbook doesn't have many plays that are conducive to Evans skills). When I went to use it in a game, it had thrown plays I never selected into it, and removed other plays. Sure, the majority of plays were there, but it's still not acceptable.
