Madden NFL 12 Playbook #3: Franchise

[InterestingFella]

He said the Raiders like fast guys, strong guys, guys with physical skills?? Yeah, so does every other team you dumb fuck.

[InterestingFella]

Sam Bradford looks like Pee Wee Herman.

[smallgoon]

Take a guess at approximately what percentage of video game players enjoy the Franchise Mode in pro football simulation Madden NFL?

Try roughly 90%. Shocked? So were developers at Electronic Arts' Tiburon studio.

"We expected 95% of people or more for a exhibition game or to play each online," says senior designer Josh Looman. "But we never really expected that that many people played the offline franchise mode, which is awesome."

**How the fuck did Josh Looman JUST find this out now in 2011?

[oct1609]

how can you move on to the next week?

i am stuck on week one

[oct1609]

how can you move on to the next week?

[AC1583]

first madden game i will play without Brett Farve THANK GOD!!!

[highonturd]

lol sam bradford looks like a dork

[kie306]

lol every one except sam bradford are looking directly into the camara and close up right beside there virtual person and sam just off in th distance like he doesn't know where the camera is

[TheMattvd1]

wow sam bradfod looks like a moron

[NDemmitt]

Editing the players age would be a way to cheat "Commenting on MrMing36." You would be able to keep your players forever, once they get close to retiring you would be able to edit them and make them young again.

[PorQuaProductions]

only reason EA added so much stuff this year is because Backbreaker might be coming out with a more in depth game and they don't have the NFL rights for too longer, so they decided to get the jump on 2k because it's not going to have another exclusive contract most likely.

[IDISANOOB]

@PorQuaProductions 2k also can't use ESPN in their game anymore cause Ea bought ESPNs rights lol 2k was madden with a sim feel lol same thing from 2k4 to 2k5

[griptapedogg]

so wheres the feature where i get to put my face in the game?

[soloisrollin777]

I think that since madden added new cleats and brands they should have nike adidas reebok and under armor offer your superstar endorsments and you pick who you sign with and maybe create a pair of cleats AND give the shoe a boost to your players skill like nba 2k post this to other vids and thumb this up if you want it to happen

[RJM2306]

why is sam bradford standing like he cant move any parts of his body?

[Prodigiousguy8]

I liked Madden 11 better...

[xxztopcommentxxz]

@Prodigiousguy8 madden 12 i not even out yet!!!

[Prodigiousguy8]

@xxztopcommentxxz I was trying to parody a typical cynical asshole on a madden video.

[apossumhodown]

mr.redshirt has some hecka bad posture.

[tylercortez51]

Will there be a practice squad?

[lifebamaboy]

@tylercortez51 no



[soloisrollin777]

when i read this on the site there was at least 30 diffrent things the added on before i fineshed reading it and everything was tweaked somehow this year improved a bunch

[TheRealRevis]

I heard The Rosters are As of Auguest 7th all changes after that will be in week 2 update

[FreshKiNg27]

whoever wants to join an Xbox 360 online franchise for Madden 12 for 1600 MS Points send me a message, spots going quick!

[GeeNastyDaGreat]

@FreshKiNg27 i wanna join brah hit me up online x LuvMESumME x

[drewsky28]

pause it at 3:49 the guy looks like fucking tully banta cain

[lakerstrufan24]

who in their fucking right mind without a nipple thrust in each of their eyes rank vick 90 and kolb 85. if vick is 90. kolb in 75.

[MrMing36]

only players who arent ligit to the game would do that



[sviveiros12]

Sam Bradford looks fucking PSYCHED to be there.

[GearsTony]

@sviveiros12 yea I thought he was gonna shit his pants lol.

[kelvieten]

Madden 13 should have classic teams like the old cowboys with emmet smith Troy Akman  Michael Ervin n Deion sanders 49ers with Jerry rice n more but 2k classic 2 me is better dont mean 2 brag

[TH13beast]

love this feature and all yall that keep askin, the new free agents will be featured in a roster update when the game launches

[Hogan99JM]

i hope they add all the free agents. and y is kevin kolb on the eagles still????!!!!!!!!

[reubadub]

@Hogan99JM because this was released on may 16!! players couldnt even see coaches then!!

[spewintothis]

I'd like to see an NFL Draft without 7 quarterbacks from the same college.

[MovieMakinDude03]

ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT MADDEN 12, WHO IS GOING TO DO A LEGIT ONLINE FRANCHISE, (NO LEAVERS) FOR AT LEAST LIKE 3-4 YEARS, PLEASE ADD "A ReD WaG0n" 0 = NUMBER NOT LETTER. ALSO, I DONT HAVE GOLD/A MIC I JUST RAN OUT AND MY MIC JUST BROKE. BUT I WILL BY THE TIME MADDEN 12 COMES OUT. PLEASE ADD ME, YOU ALSO NEED SKYPE ON YOUR PC/MAC FOR COMMUNICATION IM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS AND YOU NEED TO BE AS WELL. SO ADD ME ON SKYPE FIRST "Belford024"

[8oh1HIGH]

Everyone who has a PS3 add me i really need some friends that are ACCTUALLY going to buy and play madden 12 so people add me at

LaKe_ToWn801 --------->PS3

[MrMing36]

you should be able to edit the players years pro and age also height and weight and skin tone because in madden 11 reggie bush looks like he's white and at least 6'3

[iownatrs1000]

@MrMing36 age would wreck it though because you make people like ben rothliesberger ray lewis and every good older player back to 20 years old

[soloisrollin777]

@MrMing36 ikr

[kay9ine1]

@MrMing36 lesean mccoy too

[jdilley861]

Who would trade Devin Hester away?

[JP4645]

@jdilley861 This is franchise. Maybe he was getting older and falling off performance wise

[jdilley861]

@JP4645 Yeah forgot about that

[AngryCorndog]

Is no huddle offense still slower than actually picking a different play?

[TH13beast]

True to the Franchise. True to Reggie Bush(welcome to MIAMI). True to TH13beast. True to the Game. CANT WAIT!!!!

[MSnowXXI]

You 2k fan boys are so fucking annoying. Go play 2k instead of watching madden videos if you think its the same every year. Dumbasses.

[Anthonydp]

@Reliquish lol the grass looked the same in madden 2007 I dont know how its considered a new feature

[sportsman243]

madden nfl 12



[GHETTOLEPREKON69]

2:23 Look at the picture

[kane555444]

They finally added future draft picks and real pics for rookies, good job doin shit 2K did 7 years ago... holy shit it's been 7 years

[AmazingDarius22]

Revis need to shave and get a haircut getting kind of nappy

[mythricelife]

Sam Bradford looks super awkward at 3:59

[GreatestCaws]

im like bart scott cant wait

[HoodVenomOfficial]

"True to Al Davis"

[lemar012197]

@SepulturaWorshipper theres only 25 pictures so your likely to see the same picture twice

[CISCO21STOW]

@doc but yea

[CISCO21STOW]

@doctordoc it's cuz lockout

[doctordoc1000]

push the dam date up!!! back to August 12 we don't want to wait till the end of the month to play madden

[mrfamergamer]

If the Raiders draft like the Raiders, will they pick awful kickers in the first round?

[DjHex414]

I got a question. Are all these new things going to be in Online Franchise also?

[lemar012197]

@DjHex414 theyre not

[dillonmdr]

Also use correct draft with college players

[lemar012197]

@dillonmdr they wont do that because they think it will mess with the yearly update of rosters for madddens.

[dillonmdr]

Please Fix Wr catching , tackling, and juking animations

[2fresh4utube123]

Is this 4 online franchise 2?? I never play offline franchise.

[lemar012197]

@2fresh4utube123  nope

[hodgod2]

sam brafords pants....

[hodgod2]

@hodgod2 Bradford*

[MuddyWATERZ11]

SMH@ player ratings

[justsshitsandgiggles]

@paranoid19851 idiot

[Bondie11]

3:58 made me laugh. hahaha! Sammy boi!!!

[Bondie11]

What if on franchise mode you trade Ray Lewis? Kind of a waste of money creating the presentations huh?

[08bigtwin]

franchise mode is pointless because the computer is too easy

[ste0845]

@08bigtwin try a different difficulty level?

[08bigtwin]

@ste0845 rookie,pro, an all pro, are all tooo easy. All madden is unplayable because they cheat and make the game very unrealistic.. the game is kinda pointless if your not playing a human

[justsshitsandgiggles]

@08bigtwin all madden can be hard but its not unpayable, some teams are incredibly difficult to win but thats football, you win some you lose some.practise more i guess cause i almost never lose agaisnt the cpu in all madden

[mcccartney23]

the whole cover vote thing was so fixed, madden had vick and hillis represent them the day they announced the vote.......so fixed

[GooglinFool7]

I hope that they made create a team in francise mode better and they actually say ur teams name n u can customize your stadium more n I hope fans change how the players play with adrenalin idk how to spell but u know what I mean

[mlarison85]

True to the game: No one being able to catch Jamaal Charles

[KWelch60]

so happy they re-made the franchise mode! looks so fresh!

[lildboy111]

too high

[lildboy111]

kevin kolb 85 rating

[treywar25]

@lildboy111 kevin should be an 80 mike vick should be a 95

[lemar012197]

@lildboy111 thats not a accurate rating

[TH13beast]

Madden NFL 12. True to the Franchise. True to Reggie Bush. True to Clay Matthews. True to TH13beast. True to the game.

[koolboi352]

if its true i guess they'll add darrelle revis grab, clutch and especially arm-bar the WR rating.

but how the fuck is kevin kolb awareness higher than mike vick's when kolb has started only like 5 games in his career??

[dillonmdr]

@koolboi352 I Know I Hate Kolb He Sucks

[chicityjoka]

@koolboi352 has nothing to do with starts has to do one there work during games and kolb makes better choices

[LoganfarbarTV]

@koolboi352 just because vick plays more doesnt mean he's smarter

[yellowfish32]

I can't fucking wait for this game

[shalton145]

sam bradford lloks like the 40yr old virgin

[eh335]

So now the rookies we draft in the game have a real looking face now instead of the computer fake ones we recently had?

[imeir1]

So if its true to desean jackson will he go backwards into the endzone when he catches a open pass... and why did vick, trent cole and desean jackson ratings go down thats some bulshit!

[33ECA]

"true to sam bradford" FOH

[indianwarning1]

Phinfan that was a good statement about Revis! lol

[indianwarning1]

i wish they would just make tecmo for the ps3 give it all the franchise mode stuff, player ability traits, 30 year franchise mode and draft made up players which you could edit. and make the teams and logos editable too since EA owns the nfl tag. and the fun would begin all over again!!

[gravens1]

vick only has 91 speed!

[TH13beast]

This is my favorite feature in Madden this year

[Bloodshedder914]

@zachman778

Well people wouldnt be as pissed off if they didnt promised updates during the season in madden 10, made an excuse in madden 11, promised to fix OF last year, than didnt pull threw. Not having OF make me sad :(

[sds654]

can we open the roof of our stadium in madden 12?????examples lucas oil stadium reliant stadium cowboys stadium etc???

[zachman778]

I know madden isn't the best game ever but u guys always find some way to bitch about the game if you think madden is soooo bad make a game yourself. I mean really last year it was "we need improvements to offline francise and superstar mode and we still get sucked into tackles" they fix that and this year its "we want improvements in online francise and you guys claim you listen to the fans" first of all they can't just magically fix all this stuff right wen you decide to bitch about it.

[Bondie11]

@zachman778 Nah we are just pissed that we have forked out what? Roughly 1140$ on the Madden franchise and still the game is crap. Just from madden 2000-2011 that people have forked out 60$ for each game, we feel ripped off. We might as well bitch about it on youtube.

[TH13beast]

cant wait for madden 12! Franchise mode looks awesome the extended roster and new draft features look really fun! Yall haters stop talkin it looks great

[33ECA]

lmao sam bradford

[MadMonksTavern]

@33ECA What hell Did Sam Bradford have commercial shoot right after this for JC Penney catalog

[spewintothis]

@33ECA

LOL. Everything from the neck under looks completely digitized.

[33ECA]

@spewintothis ahah hes all stiff and shit

[3DUnit]

No improvements in the online franchise. HUGE disappointment.

[sheehan3030]

not improvements but major major improvements

[SuperMinion1]

So does this mean 9 times out of 10 the Detroit Lions will take a Wide Reciever with their first pick?????? LOL

[sawink]

Hey...blame yourselves....you idiots keep buying it every year.

[showlifemang111]

EA SPORTS WAY OF MAKING A VIDEO GAME ...STEP 1----- GAME ENGINE / FOUNDATIon

step 2__break an strip down all sports games of key fundementals

STEP 3___PUT KEY FUNDEMENTALS IN CONPARTMENTS

STEP4___CREATE GAME EACH YEAR BUT ONLY SELL BITS OF ARE STOCK(ie,key FUndamentals) that ea put into locked compartments

STEP5)) MILK ARE LOYAL FANBASE AND TRY AND TAKE THEM FOR AS MUCH AS WE CAN

STEP6---THEN LETS KEEP RECYLEling these marketing tecnigues and are shitgames-

CAN EA SUC ANY MORE CORPrATEDICS

[TheSilverhawaiian]

I want more!

[sawink]

Response to this video... Even EA Football says in their OWN videos over the last 5 years, they have been dragging their feet. Even EA Hockey SAYS in their OWN videos that they "can't be like" the EA Football franchise and slightly improve the game by adding small features every year! "We just done have the fan base and sales to do that every year." "We have to make major improvements each year." END OF DEBATE! 2K says hi...

[therateup]

@sawink You got that video of EAs NHL game saying that so I can throw it up here when a kid claims Madden's the best? Madden R.I.P. 98-2005.

[sawink]

@therateup I'll post the link. The day I post a video on YouTube, I should be shot. Tell EA that, YouTube is for a free exchange of ideas....not marketing for a corporations video game!

[sawink]

@therateup They actually say it in the beginning (I believe) of the hour long live video that NHL 12 had with Sean. (it is still available on the site). Was like a month ago....I'll get the link later or search for it. And the football guys at EA said it in an early Madden video at E3 around a month or so ago as well. 2 videos.

[shwakin]

@youngtreythetruth Lol lmfao ahhahhaahahaahahhaah

[shwakin]

does kevin kolb really have 85 overally are these creaters high that guy sucks

[peepeeeful]

they should have pictures for create people and rookies in franchise

[rythmman16]

@peepeeeful They do! if u look at the vid it listed rookies ready to be drafted ant it was pictures of real ppl

[Josh7277]

YEEES RAIIIDERSS

[youngtreythetruth]

NEW GAME MODE!! Lockout mode...

[tha904mack]

@youngtreythetruth LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[youurr]

@youngtreythetruth it ended

[youngtreythetruth]

@youngtreythetruth I know!! :D

[MrOriginalbigfella]

@youngtreythetruth id play that shit..

[youngtreythetruth]

@MrOriginalbigfella Before you play this game , you need to negotiate with the owners.

[Anthonydp]

@youngtreythetruth never ahahahah

[caolanmccreesh]

@youngtreythetruth it over so there now a new mode called. Football is back.

[bigmike82011]

true to ndamukong suh???

[tedzoo]

Does that mean the corners who bump and run will do it on their own?

[TSGS21]

Another word for madden is maddening ( Tending to anger or irritate or tending to drive insane)

[keysersoze2k1]

Smoke and mirrors, they are trying to dazzle us with "hot and cold streaks" when all of us that were loyal to Madden know damn well that this things don't really add up to the overall experience and quality of the game. 14 YEARS I HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO MADDEN, I stopped giving my money away last year and will do the same this year until those lazy bums at EA FIX this game FOR REAL!

[keysersoze2k1]

Hahaha, anyone notices how they are trying to add "new" things to Franchise only after they got a bad rap a couple months ago when they said that NO NEW improvements were made to Franchise? GARBAGE is what this is... GARBAGE!!!

[IDeLaSouLzI]

McCoy is only an 88 omg wtf is wrong with Donny Moore

[thehoodlum1919]

@IDeLaSouLzI the overall ratting is based on a hot and cold streak witch will make it more real but not by alot

[IDeLaSouLzI]

@thehoodlum1919 well not when you play Online the first week especially if theres a lockout

[jjonesych903]

DEVIN HESTER TO THE SAINTS WHAT? DAMN SPEED DEVERY HENDERSON AND HIM LOL

[ballinmanz]

wtf are you people even listening to what he saying? I mean if you listen the person you playing will acutall move and play like the real person. So no more ray lewis getting truck by jay cutler, no more Ngata getting stop in his tracks by a regular o-linemen. And plus if yall dont like blame yall self because EA ask what yall want and then all yall said " We want a new madden".

[willjoliver]

"(unenthusiastic)True to Sam Bradford"

[sawink]

They control everything that would damage sales. Watch the Madden videos from this year and last...they admit they drag their heels every year. Look at the EA NHL videos. They tell you that "they need to make improvements every year because, they have a smaller fan base, unlike MADDEN.". Thats the same company and same division (EASPORTS) saying that! It's embarrassing...back to playing unbearable Backbreaker with NFL DLC with a great engine but bad view or All Pro. Yes 2K5 is still better.etc

[sawink]

I loved Madden ...it stinks now. Try making a comment on any Madden video or a sponsored sight, guy or video on YouTube???!!! Like Matrix madden Or whatever. Any of their paid or fan videos!!! I had to come to the EA or IGN video just to make a comment. They get so many negative comments that, they control all the content. First of all a Corporation or paid entity should not be posting on YouTub. It was created for a free exchange of idea-not marketing. Every comment is PENDING APPROVAL!

[WRpro85]

This should kind of be more like Head Coach.. you should be in an office for your menu screen and read NEWSPAPPER! (they need to bring that back...) and emails from coaches or texts on a phone.. you should go to practices and watch your team practice see whos doing well or not. (hot and cold) managing staff can be way better and maybe having a story to it for superstar,, like a kid who had a poor life but is legit,, gets in gang stuff you know a good story line.. anyways im expecting alot

[cyx77]

I'm looking forward to the changes to franchise mode. They haven't touched it in a few years and with the game mechanics fixes from last year (ie. not having to hold down sprint and actually being able to make long lob deep throws) I think I'll be able to enjoy both gameplay and management. I hope the drafting is fun. It's sucked every year.

[lermdogg]

Madden has fucked me for thelast 5yrs, idk if im even gonna buy this game fuck madden

[sawink]

Havn't looked at this game since 2003. Its got more features and upgraded (slightly) graphics -Still the SAME GAME! Too Fast, no weight to players, pencil thin legs on a steery lean body. Look at how every player runs! Instead of giving us features like-BE THE WATERBOY every year...UPGRADE the actual game and gameplay maybe once!!I know you don't and you even admit it because you have the NFl and these morons buy it every year. (Duh..its the only football game mom) I owned all Maddens since 92

[TheGoldenDragonX]

@sawink Okay, please oh wise one, tell me how it's the same game?

Does it have suction? Oh wait, maybe it does.

Wait a second, it's got the same presentation like last year. Yes, i've seen it all before.

Last year's version had 3D grass, i'm pretty sure of that.

I also saw grass stains on players jerseys, didn't you?

Oh, and Dynamic Player Performance, been there since 09' right? Ok, so they haven't changed the commentary, big deal

But dude, get the hell out of here with the "same game BS"

[sawink]

@TheGoldenDragonX You people and your 3D grass? All this talk about "Trolls" (made up nerd Internet word) and suction. The fact that suction and the steering skinny legs running of the players should have been fix in 2004 or latest 2006. You dont think that I dont root for Madden to be great every year? I want to buy it. They state themselves that they dragged their heels on gameplay etc improvements. It is a huge money maker every year. They don't want to. Slight improvements, save money sell.

[Shiftyfcker321]

Is the trading realistic? cause i tried to get some players i liked but the ai ONLY accepts the offer if he gains alot more then me, like if i like kevin kolb and they already have micheal vick. i need like a first round pick, second round pick and my best wide out...WTF IS THAT!!!

[TheGoldenDragonX]

@Shiftyfcker321 Think about it, some teams just don't wanna give up theur players for anything. Try trading Peyton Manning for 3 1st round draft pics and see how that works out for ya.

[hallaballa29]

Darelle can still gaurd everyone even in his skinnys jeans

[MrJg313]

This is great! Now only if they could fix superstar mode

[vc99vc99]

@MrJg313 You should look at the superstar playbook. When it comes out... :P

[ThaRiVeR60]

@MrJg313 amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think tht they might actually do it next year tho

[KWelch60]

YES! That's all I want from madden is a good Franchise mode. Last years sucked ass

[LancerFootball58]

honestly all i want is in the pro bowl have the teams helmets

[liltimmy92]

lol Sam Bradford at 4:00 most awkward QB ever

[AlecBoy006V2]

Are these new changes on PS2 as well? If not I'll still get it.

[LancerFootball58]

@AlecBoy006V2 NO!

[YaBoiTeDee954]

For you fairy tale people go play NFL Street Or Blitz Madden Is Suppose To Be Realistic Last Time I Checked There Was No Such Thing As A Energy Card That Makes WR's Fly. Go Play Ninteno If You Don't Like New A BETTER Improvements To The NEW Games Which Are Suppose To Improve As Far As being Realist smh

[cergeil96]

Soon as i get madden 12 im starting franchise

[MrFlyPR]

Plain an fucking simple EA will never go back to the old madden because of the new gen consoles PS3 an 360 their trying to make everything real an it's good but where's the outrages shit like the cards you could win to boost stats an shit now that made it fun they also need to be more depth like showing players warming up fuck EA quit making games to fucking real I rather play madden on the damn fucking ps2 fuck EA we need 2k in dis bitch. Same goes for NCAA 12 fuck EA.

[PhinfanUK]

So, if it's true to Darelle Revis...will he "pull" a hamstring every time someone beats him for a TD?

[Nandrajock]

@PhinfanUK If thats true, he aint ever gonna pull a hamstring again.

[recivercorner11]

@PhinfanUK yeah once

[PhinfanUK]

@recivercorner11 Twice. Moss in 2010 and Ted Ginn Jr in 2009.

[recivercorner11]

@PhinfanUK ohh twice his whole career still better than nnmadi asomugha

[PhinfanUK]

@recivercorner11 I have never seen Nnamdi get beaten deep. Last year he gave up 17 catches in 16 games and not a single score. Nnamdi is a better shutdown corner than Revis.

@PhinfanUK
