    Nice tweaks this year

    This year's game has made gameplay tweaks to make the game more refined. Notably the Gameflow system has been tweaks to make it a viable option after the terrible introduction last year. The presentation has been much improved, but the lack of a real halftime or postgame show stands out because the improved the visual presentation so much. The commentary took a step back, and is now a real distraction this year. I feel the actual gameplay is improved this year. The new tackling engine works as well as advertised, so with a player like Arian Foster you can make precise cuts while going through the line and not be sucked into a tackle via canned animation. There are many tweaks to the game that aren't major, but add up to a much improved experience overall. The biggest negatives are the commentary and the lack of a tutorial for new players or players returning to the series after a break.

      It's not the 2011 Edition, Right? 0

      I've been really tolerant of Madden games for a long while. However, I think even I am about to join the naysayers. Madden is not quite Tony Hawk, but at this point, the changes are so minimal that I do not get the point of it coming out every year any longer.  I hear, every season, that these changes in AI will make it a different type of game. I haven't noticed it. They make last year's money plays a little less effective, but counters are still insanely effective as are short slant routes. Ch...
