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 ...

Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings: NFC West
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.

Madden NFL 12 Demo Impressions
Having played Madden NFL 12 extensively at E3 (check out my full impressions here) the demo didn't offer a whole lot new - in fact it feels as though a step backwards has been taken. Though no exacts have been given regarding the timing of the build used for the demo it likely comes from May or June and may predate the E3 build. Hopefully that is the case. Regardless though it's important to evaluate what is available and in doing so the feedback could be implemented in the release day patch...
