can you guys tell me which way to go? Madden 12 or 11?

if you have some time on your hand i would say go with madden 11.

if you have A LOT of time on your hands then go wit madden 12.

madden 12's animations and plays are superior to 11 IMO but I would take madden 11 franchise mode any day over all the crap you have to do in 12 to get it to function properly.

thanks for the help

I disagree. I think Madden 12 is superiour especially if you play offline franchise, I play nothing else and wouldn't dream of going back to M11, and I don't spend hours playing 32 team franchises or anything like that.

Madden 12, from what I have read, is going in the right direction, but has bugs/flaws in it's implementation. I loved Franchise for Madden 07 on the original XBox/PS2, but even that took years to do well and you saw the improvements from game to game. I suspect that Madden 13 will be a ton better.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying Madden 11.

If you enjoy offline franchise, Delta is right. Sure things aren't perfect, but there are enhancements over '11.

things not perfect?

*not sure if serious*

the amount of work you have to put into madden 12 franchise mode is equal to that of a part time job.I'm spending way too much time on roster moves and sliders. I think for every hour of game play there is 2 hours of menus. I should be able to buy Madden and hop right into playing by now.

Roster moves aren't that bad. You scout, resign guys you want, sign any FA's you want, then draft who you want and set your depth chart.
