G4: "Good camerawork can only go so far if the gameplay isn’t there. One gameplay feature EA wanted to highlight were the enhancements made to last year’s GameFlow option. While praised for reducing overall playtime, GameFlow was somewhat criticized for not offering enough flexibility in play selection. Now, you can rate your plays so that Gameflow will recognize your favorite plays more often.
Furthermore, you’ll be able to guide the play calling, say if you wanted GameFlow to pick more pass-heavy plays, or run-heavy, balanced, aggressive plays (among others). What I found to be especially intriguing was the long-awaited addition of Custom Playbooks and its integration with GameFlow. Now you can mix and match plays and tweak a team’s existing playbook."
Kotaku - Once upon a time there wasn't much of a dispute over the word "football." Over here, it meant cheerleaders, instant replay, and concussions. Over there, it meant relegation, riots, and flopping. Then came the Internet, and commenters stomping around in one another's mud puddles.
The votes are in and the people have spoken, Electronic Arts has officially won the most coveted of all awards and become the Worst Company in America for 2012. This is no small feat considering that past winners have included BP, who showed a disgusting lack of remorse for causing one of the worst environmental disasters in history, and Comcast, a perennial runner up and a company that I have a personal distaste for and am forced to work with because they are the only internet provider in my area. Is EA truly deserving of this title or this just a product of stories and conjecture tainting consumer perception?
just fanboy rage, i'm sure. ea should just be lucky to have the talents of dice and bioware under their belt.
Definately just fanboy rage. They publish and bring us gamers some of the best, more innovative and original games we can hope to play. There is no way they are even close to being the worst company in the world.
There are banks and huge companies destroying peoples lives and people claim a gaming publisher is the worst comapny in America? Raging gamers really are fun.

Meh.
exactly...looks like the same crap.
looks good to me can't wait.
We need competition back for NFL video games. Always felt Sega sport games looked and played better than Madden during that time. Also I feel Madden should have a 3 year cycle(release a game every 3 years)to actually improve the gameplay, engine and have updates to the roster every year... but thats just me.
Well, I haven't bought a game since the 09 season. So, it's a big leap from then..
But, I really hope that they improve the Franchise mode, 09's was kinda bullshit.
There is still so much and a helluva lot more that they could add to it, make it better.
I'm thinking about buyin this from Amazon, that comes with their ($20?) credit.
So, with that extra credit from Amazon, it makes this a little easier and worth it to buy.
