Madden NFL 12 will release on Tuesday, August 30th.

I knew something was probably up, but the 30th.

On one hand, a good thing because it's more likely that I'll be able to start my franchise with an opening-week roster (which I almost never do because I'm impatient ).

Good.

I hate that it releases so close to NCAA the way it is. This gives me more separation between the two, I'd hope.

Ehh, no biggie for me. Wasn't really looking forward to Madden, and with an NFL work stoppage looming, probably wouldn't be that fired up for NFL football anyway.

Now if NCAA is pushed back, I'll start a riot.

This is weird - why change the release date? Is this for sales reasons or are they having issues?

Too much is happening to the Madden series to believe that the product to hit the shelves will have what the gaming community been asking for for the past 5 years.

Too much shake-up going on.
I can see the excuse right now that "We're going through a Transitional Phase" right now.

If this is happening to their Cash Cow, could all the "Hush-Hush" on the NCAA side be a prelude to some major issues happening on the College side?

With Ian and other top players leaving now, is it still "Too Early" for the community to want to know what has been fixed/changed under the hood of Madden 12 to warrant a $65 purchase.

Just curious what does an extra 15 days do for the game that is finalized months before?

I'm glad i'm a rent 1st gamer now!!!

Madden NFL 12 release date of Aug. 30 to align closer to the start of the NFL regular season

To get the date closer to the start of the NFL regular season pretty much.

Do we even know if there is going to be an NFL season this year or not?

Other than to take a backhanded stab at Madden, what does this have to do with the release date?
