Madden NFL has traditionally be released within the first half of August but that will not be the case this year. EA Sports, the video game company that is in charge of the madden series, announced a few minutes ago that the Madden 12 release date will be pushed back to August 30th, 2011. Last year’s madden 11 video game was released on August 10th.
According to EA Sports Senior PR Representative Rob Sempsey, EA moved back the release date to align better with the scheduled start of the NFL season. Others speculate that it has to do with high level executives leaving EA Sport’s Tiburon studio. Either way this will likely have a significant impact on sales. The hardcore madden gamers will be outraged while casual NFL fans may be more likely to buy madden 12 because of the move.
The NCAA Football 12 release date has not yet been changed from July 12th, 2011 yet but we will let you know of any developments.

I didn’t play 2011 for that long because I realized it was almost impossible to run the ball online unless you go no huddle I got tired of everyone you play passes the ball 40 times. Please make this game more realistic and five Devin hester the elusiveness he deserves and peppers couldn’t do squat in that game. Five him his respect he deserves
its not hard to run the ball sumtimes it is when competition is up but Turn it up just because u get stopped sum dont mean its imposible im top 15 madden player ALL TIME ill run it for 150 yrds a gm
your not a top 15 madden player all time so stop with your horse bull $hit @$$ comments your a loser…..the game is hella hard to run against people online and that is all there is too the situation
claymo what do u mean u cant run the ball on line its easy if ur any good i rush for over a 115 yards per game with darren mcfadden and ive played the game ovewr 500 times
the raiders r the biggest glitchin team dumbass look it up @madden.com thats y u can run with them,mcfadden is a bust
what i hate about madden games is the way people uses cheat codes to win games think about it ive seen some records on this game that r unreal whos gonna win 600 games in a row and have only 2 loses come on madden lets get ride of all cheat codes
My brother & I am greatly looking forward to the release as we are on the 16th season of our comob Madden 11 franchise & 99% of the real people are retired.
This years game better not have the same problems last years had with tackling!
it's all because there is no player's union right now to allow ea permission to the rights to use nfl players in the game. That's why they have to wait until the union restructures itself.
gamers won’t be happy with the push back but no way it hurts sales, what else will we play game day or techmo bowl. Ncaa football only gets you so far. Gamers buy games that’s what you do.
Add a better draft combine and the ability to be drafted higher than in the 3ed round. If I import a player from NCAA that was a 3 times Heisman and I dominate the combine why would I be drafted in the 5th round?
you are so true
All i want fixed is that the defense can catch an interception when is thrown right at him.
love the comment…isnt this the gosh darn truth
I can’t wait till madden12 , is released.
Please please please make the online franchise mode like the original franchise mode i.e. track all stats, season awards, downloadable draft class and actual draft. I don't understand why all those have been overlooked for 2 years.
