Favorite Madden on current gen?

[packerboy71]

What is your favorite Madden on this current gen? For me its either Madden 07 or 10

[ERA]

Madden '10, no question, any day of the week.

The only Madden that actually made me feel good when I played it, I would play that game like crazy.

Re: Favorite Madden on current gen?

Easily '12 is my favorite.I saw a thread where people debated between '10 and '12 so since I remember enjoying '10, because it's what brought me back to playing Madden,I went to Gamestop and bought it for under $4.I soon realized that '12 was far better graphically and pro-tak was aggravating.The only things I liked were some of the stat overlays and the foot planting was better.

'12 was the one recent Madden that was released without major issues.The main thing patched was too many rain games and the one thing that needed fixed was overpowered dt's pass rush which you could negate by ratings edits.The only Madden that has ratings editing during franchise plus player roles and DPP and such made at least a decent franchise mode.

The CPU A.I. is pretty good and much better than '13.Teams will play much like they should.

Madden 10 was my favorite until Madden 12 came along. Since I'm not getting a PS4 this year, I'll imagine Madden 25 will become my new favorite Madden on current gen.

I really like 13 because of all the new additions. I got it late because I was iffy because most of the recent madden's have been dissapionting.
I also liked 08 but I think 13 beats it out.

Re: Favorite Madden on current gen?

I'm not sure how much online play is factoring into other's decesions on this, but as someone who only plays franchise games against the PC, and nothing else, the game have clearly and obviously gotten better every year since the move to the PS3.

07 and 08 were horrible. Worst two Maddens ever (and Ive played since the game was on the NES). Nothing of value whatsoever.

09 and 10 were better, but still bad.

11-13 have gotten to the point where its what I expect out of a modern video game. Good experience, both on and off the field. Based on early news, 25 looks like the best Madden since 06, and the first one that I'll buy on the release day in years.

CPU... Madden 2005

Madden 2008 is great, but the sim engine is totally sheeite, so despite the tremendous editing capabilities, it's no match for the best Madden of all-time.

2012.

But I've not lost myself in Madden since 2005. 2006-09 on PS2 were good too, but again, none of those are the current gen. *shrugs*

I forget whatever year it was, but when they had the auto trigger spec catch, that was some fun stuff

Re: Favorite Madden on current gen?

Top to bottom thus far Madden 12. Still playing it with updated rosters. The only thing that bugs me about it are the super LB's. That's it. Franchise mode was solid, AI was the best ever for Madden. teams played like their real life counterparts. 32 team franchise control, full editing, full control. Second best Madden ever made next to Madden 05/07 (PS2/XBOX).

Madden 10 is also a super solid game. I still have a fantasy team in it's 4th year on that game. The only thing that bugged me was a really bad glitch where the QB would fumble right before getting sacked if you attempted to throw a pass (and always returned for a TD) and the flats were way too easy to exploit. 3rd best Madden ever.

Madden 11 was decent. Not bad, not great, but a clear step back from M10.

13 is pure crappola IMO. I did not even make it to October playing this game.

I never played any other next gen Madden (06,07,08,09) other than 10,11,12,13.

I really hope M25 delivers the goods. I was totally hoodwinked by M13. am really stoked as I like what I see so far. I am in a total wait and see mode with both EA football titles this year. No rush at all to get them.

Re: Favorite Madden on current gen?

Madden 13 hands down. CCM was/is great, and much improved gameplay. Madden 12 was a lot of fun though.

Yeah the fumbling was a problem in 10 but I feel like they toned it down to much in later Maddens. It's hard enough to get pressure on the QB but I hate when they get hit and lose the ball in what looks like a clear fumble but it's almost always called an incomplete pass.

13 felt like a $60 demo for M25 that they tried to pass off as a complete game. It was such crap that I probably won't buy the new one until a month after release (if ever) after I am able to watch enough videos that prove it isn't as unplayable as 13
