Madden NFL 12 at E3: Impressions
It's always difficult to express detailed impressions of games coming out of E3. The environment and time pressure makes it difficult to dig into the games, the noise drowns out the audio, and everything is new so the tendency is to over-value the emotion felt when playing. Instead I've generally tried to get across the vibe towards a game following the event - not just of my own but of the others in attendance - and compare that to expectations and the experience of having seen how from ...

Madden NFL 12 at E3: Four New Videos and Additional Player Trait Images
Having now cruised out of Los Angeles and to Las Vegas - where apparently the internet is more reliable - expect videos for Madden 12 to flow out over the coming days. In this update the off-screen footage covers a game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Minnesota Vikings including the entrance, some gameplay, and a challenged play. There will be more to come from this game and others. Check out the Facebook album for the entire collection of 'player traits' posted so far. There are still 1...

Madden NFL 12 at E3: Second Video and More Player Trait Images
Day two of E3 is in the books and now the focus will be on getting out even more content primarily relating to Madden 12. Several videos are in the queue but most will have to wait until Thursday and Friday. For now I've been able to get through the clip from earlier today and now a new one featuring a snow game with Tim Tebow and the Broncos vs Cam Newton and the Panthers. There will be more from this game to come. The Facebook album now has even more pictures of the 'player traits' with...

Madden 12 at E3: Video and Player Traits
Though the internet connection has made life difficult here I was able to get one Madden NFL 12 video up featuring the Chargers @ Chiefs and a Jamaal Charles touchdown run. In addition to that are more images of the "Player Traits". Many were posted to Twitter and Facebook last night and with over 200 total (several from every team) I'll be running more of them out this evening and tomorrow. (more…)...

E3 Day One Quick Recap
It was six hours that went by incredibly fast and now work has started on providing content out of the first day of E3. Videos are currently being uploaded but the process is a very slow one. I expect some of them to be posted later tonight but by morning is a better bet. (Update) Videos are looking increasingly unlikely due to the internet connection and may have to be held until Thursday evening when I'll able to effectively upload them. Until then I'm posting some Madden NFL 12 'Player...

Madden NFL 12 E3 Trailer
It was an underwhelming press conference today as far as EA Sports goes. That was especially the case for Madden 12 which as a series typically tries to make a splash but had nothing new announced this time around. The only thing delivered on for the game was a new flashy trailer. Continue on to check it out and leave any thoughts in the comments! (more…)...

EA Sports Titles Adding Kinect Support
At the Microsoft E3 press conference this morning EA Sports president Peter Moore appeared to discuss plans for Kinect for Xbox 360 support in the company's sports titles. Madden NFL 12, FIFA 12, and the Tiger Woods series will all incorporate the motion control system in some form or fashion. There is also a future title that has not been announced which will feature Kinect. Team sports games have struggled to introduce compelling motion control options. Those typically translate better ...
