MADDEN 12 OR MADDEN 25

[raneman85]

Madden 12 gets my vote. I personally like franchise over Connected Career and I feel gameplay is more realistic. M25 is an arcade game and not sim football.

Both have their merits and you have to decide for yourself based on what you want out of it. I like the graphics and camera in 12 and I have a good franchise going with sliders that give me a variety game to game where teams play to their strength most of the time..The sim engine isn't very good for either one.

What sliders do you use for Madden 12? I really like Madden 12 with an editor it's great. If Madden 25 gets an editor I would like that as well but right noe M12 I would suggest.

madden 12. have 13, it's awful; and I've heard bad things about 25 that are game ruiners for me. I'd say 12 all the way

I'd vote Madden 25.

I have been harsh on Madden over the years and recently (when compared to a particular 2007 title) but as far as CG goes, Madden 25 wins in a landslide IMO - if anything for the variety of animations.

Madden 12 is the safest choice. Its franchise mode is very familiar - so it gets alot of love. But where's the life or energy?? That franchise mode was so so dull and confined to that little boxy menu.

Madden 13 was incomplete. I remember reaching a point with that game thinking "ok, its fun," but the gameplay was so laborious that it never let you settle in a groove.

If I had to rank them:

Madden 25 (By a lot)
Madden 12 (gameplay is better than 13)
Madden 13

Madden 12 for online 13 for cc and player xp and Madden 25 for a frisbee.
