If I owned 11 and had to pay $60 for 12, I'd probably have to be a pretty big fan of the Madden series to do that, or a part of a great community of online gamers. The patched up version of 11 with some good sliders will play a good enough game of Football if you don't want to make the swtich. BUT 12 will play a better game of football soon enough with some patches and sliders -- so might be prudent to wait until then as well.

And there in lies the biggest of rubs..."With some patches and sliders". You have to admit, the fact that we have become the BETA testers for EA is what has completely ticked off so many consumers, myself included.

So leave it in the wrapping and what, wait 2 months for a patch and hope I'm still interested, huh?

Thanks for the review...I too thought 7.5 based on your in depth problems is too high...but you are the reviewer and have discretion
