is there any interest in getting a PS3 league going this year...

would consider picking it up if there was enough other lads to get a bit of a league going but other wise I might give it a miss this year and stick to NCAA for the year

yep hard to start remember asking last year seems to be all xbox doh..

Paully D · 31-08-2011 7:20pm

Would there be any chance of picking this up somewhere tomorrow, I wonder?

Justin10 · 31-08-2011 10:37pm

If i decide to get Madden instead NCAA then im up for PS3 league.

Where is the cheapest place to get this? I usually trade in my old madden, usually to xtra vision.

Professional Griefer · 01-09-2011 7:59pm

Must pick this up this year.

Haven't been Madden in ages, love those games

Mikeyt086 · 01-09-2011 8:58pm

Rang HMV earlier. Selling it tomorrow and I was told €56.99.

Should be cheaper in Xtravision and they sometimes give a free movie away with games, ie. I got 'The Hurricane' with Fight Night, so hopefully they give out a good American Footy flick.

bmcc10 · 01-09-2011 9:03pm

its 50 in xtravision...no word of a free movie though.

Richard Hillman · 02-09-2011 12:38am

I think i will buy Madden 12 this year. Ive been playing Madden 10 since it came out and got so attached to my team that i cant let go. Even playing the other day i dont want to let go because ive drafted so well over the last 2 seasons :pac:

Im interested in an online franchise but ive never done the draft process so im very much a newb in that aspect. I will see how my bets go this week before i will know when i will buy the game. It will be hard to say goodbye to my Madden 10 team

Faker74 · 02-09-2011 10:39am

Anyone been into the stores, and know who is giving the best deal on this?

That_Guy · 02-09-2011 10:40am

Played the demo last night. Really enjoyed it. Shall definitely be picking it up after work. The overall presentation looks very polished compared to last year.

Hulk Hands · 02-09-2011 11:01am

Played this in the states for a few hours the night it came out. I won't pretend to be a madden expert, but I thought the game was a decent upgrade on 11. Gone were the shoutouts that seemed to come with the territory in 11. Receivers don't get open as easy and the run game is more important than it was. The flip side with recievers is that they will hang onto the ball when struck directly after the catch, perhaps a little unrealisticly at times.

The kicking system is revamped and much more difficult, at the beginning anyway. The single biggest difference to the game is the tackling. The hits are harder and more realistic. But the best part is when a player is in space. Gone are the days when on a kick return you make on player miss and you're gone to the house with any bit of room. It was very frustrating to have another player get away and basically having no chance of tackling him even if you get a player close. In only a few hours play there were many great stops and spectacular ankle taps etc which made the game much better. The presentation is also brilliant.

The game had a couple of funny bits. 50% of the time my Vick happy friend scrambled he got called back for holding etc on the offence. Seems like they want to make that fairer as I heard that playing online with the eagles last year was ridiculous for a period. Anyway, that's my take

bmcc10 · 02-09-2011 11:52am

playing it here its very good so far...also the eagles are the shindigity in it.

Peyton Manning · 02-09-2011 11:56am

I'd be up for a PS3 league.

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2011 12:38pm

picked it up, you can't just hail mary the cpu to death anymore!! Haven't managed a punt return over 10 yards yet. Improves on 11 in everyway :-)

€50 in Xtravision and €50 in Gamestop

That's how much it is in Waterford anyway... assuming it'll be the same across the country

mikemac · 02-09-2011 12:58pm

I wonder if xtravision are giving a free DVD

They constantly do this with new games

Have seen most of the AF films but I won't say no

No, not this time.

I got the last Madden 12 on 360 in Xtravision Greystones. Bray didnt get any in and have none on route. The stores that did get copies in only got around 4 for each console to sell, so if you are planning on getting Madden in an Xtravision, call first and ask them to hold it would be my advice.

Now... Time for some Madden!

PADRAIC.M · 02-09-2011 1:46pm

Just got mine, would be interested in a league on xbox, ravens,
My GT is triangle king

bmcc10 · 02-09-2011 2:10pm

Happy to report the online is as frustrating as always.Anybody wanna game on ps3??

Chardee MacDennis · 02-09-2011 3:08pm

€50 in Gamestop on Henry St, Dublin, picked it up at lunch.

mikemac · 02-09-2011 3:25pm

€50 in xtravision Ballyfermot, picked up at lunchtime. Mikeyt086 is correct, the stores only have about four copies each to sell so xtravision could be sold out by this evening

TheHumanOnion · 02-09-2011 3:49pm

Gamestop in Waterford only got 3 copies, so made sure I reserved mine

Am kinda surprised that stores are only getting a handful of copies though. They're usually fairly popular games like, even among some non-football fans

Madden NFL 12
