Re: Madden NFL 12 Review (360/PS3)

Fair review based on my few days of playing the Season Ticket version.

That's why Metacritic can sometimes be so confusing with the grades and stars transferring into numbers where it really doesn't translate. (But we're not on Metacritic, so not really something we have to worry about!)

Fair score, this game is a really LAZY release in almost every area. EA needs some football competition.

Good review, I don't agree with it though. I think this is the best football game I've ever played, hands down.

Post patch reviews would be an awful idea, in my opinion. You might have a different opinion of the game after a patch, but you have to judge and review the product that's being sold off the shelves.

On-topic: Nice review. Seems to be a little on the generous side with a 7.5 as I had expected less after reading 6 paragraphs of pointing out flaws in basically all elements of the gameplay, yet stating it's fun and balanced. From my time with the demo, I'm experiencing a lot more frustration than fun.

What about DPP? I don't know if you elaborated on it in any part of the review. For me, this is a good feature with great potential that they should get more credit for. I agree about the cutting corners, but don't forget NFL 2k5, despite being more animation sound than Madden, had its weird things too, which is why I made the comparison that I did. I will give them more credit for franchise mode, yet I am awfully (if not more than you are) disappointed by Superstar and Online Franchise, as well as lack of "NFL Today" type of statistical integration.

Read both the Gameplay and Franchise review linked at the top. I touched on it enough there that I didn't feel the need to really elaborate on it again

Re: Madden NFL 12 Review (360/PS3)

so in all honesty, would you consider playing 11 over 12?
