You expecting new features from NFL 12? Well guess what the first one is. It's surprise onside kicks! Look:
That's not exactly the best change ever made, but it's news for football fans. Personally, is sounds like it could be easily abused online -- I could see spamming of this play as a major noob tactic. It will have to be very difficult to pull off in order to "work." Hopefully the Madden team balances this out correctly.
The second detail revealed is a little more technical, so I'll let the official blog describe the new feature, "tuner sets" in Madden 2012.

"Tuner Sets", introduced in the NHL series and brought into NCAA Football last year, are hugely important to the development of sports games in that they allow us to tune and tweak many existing parts of game code without the major delay that comes from a full title update requiring 1st party console manufacturer approvals. A quick addition to my hacked surprise onside kick code made this feature easily tunable post-ship, and thus much safer against any exploits that may crop up. This isn't the only thing in the tuner sets obviously...we are in the process of moving as many items into these as possible, from gameplay tuning to franchise data to even presentation aspects. We are excited to the possibilities this will open up to our fans in being able to provide live feedback and having us act on it in near real-time. The days of shipping a disc in a box and forgetting about it are long gone, and we want to be at the forefront of blazing new trails in reacting to our audience and improving the game quickly."
NFL 12 looks great! Definitely getting it when it comes out!
