Super excited for this as I've been buying Madden since the Sega days. There's a GameStop here in Winnipeg that's having a midnight release tonight for it but unfortunately I work at 8AM tomorrow so I have to wait.

Getting it in the morning. I've heard they made some big improvements to this year's game, can't wait to check it out for myself. I've been playing Madden since my N64 days, I really miss hearing John Madden's voice in the game and on television.

Just got it. They're giving me a free New Era hat just for pre-ordering it. I'll post my thoughts later after I give it a test drive.

almost picked this up on the way home from work today... will likely snag it within the next few days. Xbox gamer tag is Dornado5446 for anyone that wants to play.

Pretty solid. The gameplay feels very realistic. The orchestrated soundtrack is actually pretty cool. Everything looks great. My only beef is that the menus are a little complex, and when you first play it there are a ton of pop-ups at the start screen.

**Knick Killer** · 08-29-2012, 08:20 AM

Was anyone else scared shitless that they got rid of franchise mode when they first popped in the game? I had to search it up on the internet to find out that it's now called Coaches Career mode.

**Dornado** · 08-29-2012, 09:37 AM

Do they not have fantasy drafts for franchise mode anymore?

kbdullah · 08-29-2012, 09:48 AM

Does it still use Gameflow or not?

**Floods** · 08-29-2012, 10:26 AM

Yeah it uses gameflow.

**BlakeJesus** · 08-29-2012, 10:31 AM

Gameflow is lame, not a fan.

Any significant changes from Madden 12? I want to pick this up either today/tonight or tomorrow sometime. X-Box gamertag is iWipehard

I'm getting cleaned up in my first game... should have played a practice game against the cpu or something.

Q: Why didn't you include Fantasy Draft in Connected Careers?
A: With Connected Careers, we created a fully-connected career experience from the ground up that features deep gameplay progression, dynamic storylines and social integration. We wanted to ensure that every aspect of this new universe delivers an unprecedented career experience for our fans. Unfortunately, in this first year, we could not include Fantasy Draft and maintain the high level of quality that we demand for this feature

Lame.

Anyone try to make trades in the coaches career mode? It seems impossible and it's quite frustrating. Also it's a pain in the ass it doesn't tell you immediately if they accepted the trade or not.

**BlakeJesus** · 08-29-2012, 11:54 AM

So wait, what's the difference between Coaches Career Mode and Connected Career Mode?

NOHornets · 08-29-2012, 04:09 PM

I love the presentation with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms on the call. Looks and feels like a real NFL telecast.
