Madden NFL 12: New Collision System, Custom Playbooks
See Full ImageRegardless of what happens with the NFL lockout, Madden NFL 12 will be ready to go on August 30.
After reiterating the announcement that Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis would grace the cover of the new entry, EA unloaded with a ton of new details. At the top of the list is an "all-new collision system," which is described as follows:
"Now maintain full control of players up to the point of impact — from tackling to blocking — providing the most authentic collisions in franchise history. This new system uses a player's momentum and over 100 new tackle animations, including 40 gang tackles, to provide more impactful hits, stolen tackles, and consecutive hit tackling."
They also cite "over 100 defensive AI enhancements," a "refined broadcast," and "unprecedented on-field authenticity." Oh, and one last thing for all the hardcore pigskin fans out there- custom playbooks. That's right; EA Sports says it was the #1 requested feature from fans in recent years, and this new element "allows you to build the ultimate game plan by modifying an existing playbook or creating your own by selecting up to 400 offensive or defensive plays from 75 different playbooks."They also have new info on the various modes, another all-new feature called "dynamic player performance," and the Madden NFL Ultimate Team. ...this should be one hell of a year for Madden followers.

Arent we past the whole "animation" count? Im pretty sure GTA was the first game to utilize Euphoria (Only becuase the Indiana Jones game was cancelled) and that was what 3 years ago. Come on EA gives us some real time tackles!
Euphoria for PRESIDENT!

100 new animations? So that makes, what 105 now.
This new features that I have been hearing sound awesome, but Madden 11 makes me soo frustrated.
After tacking and blocking needing to be fixes( F'n Horrible!) the Franchise made needs to be improved a lot!
I am nit buying this game until I see some good reviews.
The horrible Madden games for the passed 4 or so years is because Madden has been like the only football game, nobody wants to make a game with out the NFL licensing. I hope when the contract ends we can get 3 NFL football games and actually improve more then rosters year to year.
