E3 2011 Recap
This turned out to be a somewhat curious year for sports games at E3 as a whole. While there were a bunch that had a presence they were held in more restricted fashion than in the past. Madden was of course very prominent but outside of that the majority were held for behind-closed-doors showings only. That has resulted in Madden NFL 12 picking up some big momentum and the rest of the games seeing much more limited success out of the event. (more…)...

Madden 12 Player Traits Collection
The Facebook page (appreciate it if you'd "like" it while there or in the sidebar!) now contains all 225 images captured while at E3 displaying the new 'Player Traits' in Madden NFL 12 and are sorted by conference and then division and team. Keep in mind these are just preliminary and may change by the time Madden 12 ships. In particular the number of "clutch" players will likely drop especially from any rookies that have it now. The "confidence" rating starts at three stars for all playe...

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 ...
