Best Madden review I ever read. And for those saying the review is too tough, Chris did say it's far from a bad game, and that it "seems to be asking me to suspend my own disbelief to find enjoyment in the face of some lacking realism." Seems pretty dang tame and plain honest to me.

"The game is fun" translate to me as "it's a good head to head game"

I'm a single player/and CPU vs CPU guy...

I guess cutting corners while getting "sim" results is their way of balancing the game...

I'll rent the game eventually so I can judge for myself but I wish there were an alternative that suits my interest (made by any company)

Football is my favorite sport and I haven't owned a football game for more than a year since 2007...

As much as I enjoyed Madden 10 (until the cheap exploits became too much as well as the rawness of the new approach) and I did enjoy Madden 11 (believe it or not) I have not kept a Madden game more than one cycle since Madden 2007. I played that game till Madden 10 came out (my first PS3 next gen version). I plan on making Madden 12 my last Madden purchase till Madden 14 at a minimum. I have personalyl been very impressed with the demo and really feel the franchise mode will have more than enough depth for me to stay busy with it for a couple of years easy. And the same holds exactly true of NCAA 12. NCAA 11 was my first college football purchase since NCAA 07 for PS2.

I hear ya. But I think EA has really focused on this years football output. Yes the NCAA 12 bugs are well documented and are being patched. But I think EA really made a concerted effort to polish the games up and really make both of them a very strong video game representation of the game of football that is both deep in modes and replayability but also keeping the fun factor intact.

I have always loved the balance EA has been able to provide in that regard. It's not perfect but the games are a lot of fun to play.

Still dissapointed with the tackling system. NCAA was really good this this tackiling wise. Thought it would carry over to Maden too. Guess not.
