    Madden NFL 12 Review (9 out of 10) 0

    The NFL Player lockout was the biggest sports story this summer, drawing a large shadow over the league. I doubted that the season would start on time but what was never in doubt, was another addition to the Madden franchise. This is Tiburon Studios' latest stab at turning one of America's favorite pastimes into something you play on your console. Madden 12 takes your favorite teams, stadiums and Traditions and crams them into one disc.One of the major improvements to this year's Madden is the p...

    Madden 12 Review 0

    The year after year Madden franchise would seemingly have to be very addictive. However, this year, the series seemed to have taken a turn for the worst. Madden 12 houses more problems and bugs than improvement and innovation. The game is one giant step backwards, when I expected them to be moving the opposite.The problem with Madden 12 is that can’t seem to execute the plan originally mapped out. As last year, franchise mode is just as bad. EA Tiburon did make some changes, adding an all-new s...

    It's... Madden?! 0

    Reviewing Madden every year must become quite a tedious task. I mean the NFL itself usually doesn't change enough to bat an eye at nor does the technology both regarding software and hardware that creates these games. That said I feel that Madden and other sports games need to have something of their own rating criteria. You cannot realistically expect an entirely fresh experience on a yearly basis with no new hardware and sports that continue to follow long standing traditions.Essentially if yo...

    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...

    EA Poor Quality 0

    This game is the same Madden they put out last year except with less polish.  The audio commentary sends the series backward in time with obvious errors such as calling the Tennessee Titans the New York Titans.  Also the commentary repeats the same phrases to a point where they game is better muted.  Consumers  expect  better quality control than what EA has shoved out the door.  We have come to a time where quality games are now very hard to come by for gamers.   It is like insurance we pay mor...

    Nice tweaks this year 0

    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 a...
