Madden NFL 12 Review (360/PS3)

[arbyd1]

can anyone help? i have madden 12 ps3, and play offline. When i got into the franchise draft, i was the 25th pick. Only simulation choice was to simulate the Whole draft, NO simulate to my next pick selection. The computer took all 10 minutes for each of the 24 picks ahead of my 25 pick. You can imagine how long this Process took! Is this correct, or is there something wrong with the specific game that i got? Can anyone shed any light on this problem, it would be helpful, thanks

I completely agree with you word for word! To be honest I feel the same about NCAA, I suppose that's why I'm sticking with NCAA Football 11/APF this year and continue to play my text based sports games.

I've started to get a little tired of the year on year release of slightly rehashed games.

I take it all back! I caved in when I saw Madden on the shelf in my local Best Buy and I had to have it!

I'm using mkharsh33's sliders and I really believe this is the best Madden game yet! Yes it has it's problems but I'm really loving my football again now! I didn't have to post this but I felt I owed it to you guys that are still sitting on the fence.

Sounds like me, although I haven't been to a GameStop or Best Buy yet. I know I said that I'm waiting for the patches and a price drop, but I'll probably cave before then.

Well... 2k5 for me still.

Thanks for a tell-it-like-it-is (or as you honestly see it) review. Refreshing. Haven't bought the game yet. Almost did today, but my local Walmart was out of the PS3 version. Won't be in a rush to get it now, though I'm sure I'll eventually break down.

It's crazy, when the game really sucks, OS gives it a 9.0, when it's actually pretty good, you give it a 7.5? Make up your mind bro.

thats because now it's "cool" to hate madden.

I believe the review is fair and straight on. I have the game and I completely agreed with the pros and cons of the game.

After buying Madden for the first time since Madden '10, I'm really enjoying my experience with Madden '12. I think the gameplay is a lot of fun and feels fresh. The only thing I dislike is the commentary - Gus Johnson is TERRIBLE!!!!!

Is there a review for the PS3 version of this game? If not is there a reason why the game is only reviewed on Xbox 360? I ask because after reading through the forums it looks like the PS3 version no where near as good as the 360 version especially when it comes to graphics, field and lighting issues. I have seen the game on 360 and PS3 and the 360 version is far and away better. Would like to hear from actual reviewers on this issue instead of forum posters. Can you please comment on this?

Pretty good review but I would bump the rating up to a 8.0.

On what grounds? What is it that you think earns the extra half a point?

[buickbeast]

"the corners the game cuts to sacrifice realism for the appearance of realism all mean the game is still a work in progress"
Great fair review
EA football games are second to none...unfortunately

[Cavicchi]

So after all these years madden gets a 7.5, very impressive. ;-)

[turftickler]

Very impressive review and very similar to mine on my youtube channel. I gave Madden 12 an 8 out of 10.

Also, this is the best game rating I have ever seen here at OS. I feel that it is a fair and accurate view of what Madden NFL 12 really is. Madden 12 is a good game, but I still have a hard time enjoying it fully the more I play it. And yes, the commentary is probably the worst I've ever heard in a football game.

Competition begets great products. Without it, we have Madden 12. With it, we have Battlefield 3, FIFA, and FORZA 4.
