    Having been working with Madden NFL 12 practically around the clock since late last week I thought it would be a good idea to outline the coming coverage and set expectations. Come early Friday morning a ton of content will be posted on the site - until then however I am unable to make any comments about my time with Madden 12 or release any media. However feel free to leave any comments on what you're hoping to hear about in the impressions or see in images and videos and I'll take those un...

    The roll-out of the player ratings for Madden NFL 12 has finally come to a completion with the release of the NFC South. All that would remain to uncover are any free agents and drafted or undrafted players that didn't make the cut on the original rosters. Check out the rosters and ratings for the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints made some moves to strengthen their already upper-echelon roster, the Panthers by trading for Greg Ol...

    The deliberately slow rollout of Madden NFL 12 ratings continues with the latest four teams to have been broken down this week. The completion of the NFC North leaves only the NFC South to come. Check out the rosters and ratings for the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings. These are four teams that didn't make many waves with their off-season moves and the reigning champs return largely the same roster though with many players returning from the injured ...

    EA Sports is teaming up with ESPN and specifically the SportsNation program again to hold another series of votes - following up campaigns like the Madden NFL 12 cover tournament and the 'traditions' for NCAA Football 12. The latest is being referred to as 'Club 100'. This time around the vote will center on which players deserve a 100 rating in five specific categories. Five players will win the right to have the 100 rating (one for each category). •Elusiveness: Charles, Peterso...

    The deliberately slow rollout of Madden NFL 12 ratings continues with the latest four teams to have been broken down early this week. The completion of the NFC West leaves only the NFC North and NFC South to wrap up. Check out the rosters and ratings for the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, and St. Louis Rams. The Cardinals will obviously be quite a different team with the addition of Kevin Kolb and the 49ers were early off-season losers but crawled out of the hol...

    EA Sports has released another two videos offering the opportunity to watch directly-captured gameplay footage of Madden NFL 12. Comprising of the first and second quarter (final build) with the Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers in the rain it does not use the base rosters as some of the player movement – that will be made when the first roster update arrives in time for release – has been manually completed. These follow up the Eagles at Falcons videos from last week. Co...
