GameInformer: "Madden gamers have been ill-served by this generation's Franchise and Superstar modes, and developer EA Tiburon hopes to revive these segments of the game with this year's changes.
Here are just some of the improvements for this year – this isn't the complete list of Franchise and Superstar mode features, however – and more details on other aspects like its online and Ultimate Team portions are coming later. For more on Madden NFL 12's gameplay and presentation, check out our previous preview, as well as the videos and screens in the media gallery below."
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.

with the reveal of these new additions and changes to superstar and franchise mode as well as the addition of create a play and expanded playbooks.... it finally seems as thought EA is listening to the fan community, and while i would love more info regarding new features... pre-ordering both PS3 and 360 versions with $20 dollar credit ($40) total is looking like a good idea now
so far it SEEMS like their putting an effort though we've already seen the trait system back in madden08 it had some potential to since it made each player different more or less.
but madden had more problems then that to address still im not going to buy it day one instead ill wait to see how the franchise the presntation and superstar evolve before i even thin about buying it.
stil 2K5 and madden 04 will always have a place inmy heart for being above all else, even if @K was better.
They still need to fix the actual football gameplay. All the franchise improvements are nice, but without a realistic football base, its all demeaned.
For example they say that 3-4 teams are going to draft 3-4 linebackers, but in game are they going to play like 3-4 linebackers? If they don't, then it's basically a worthless addition.
