A new Madden, or football game for that matter would mean sales would have to drop ridiculously low and I dont see that happening anytime soon.

You've hit the nail on the head. There's nothing to add to your comment. You said everything there's to say about that issue! I wouldn't even enjoy the game if it was a gift...

"Where is the return game?"
Uh... right where all the complainers wanted it, patched out of the game. It was there before the first patch and then it was gone.

That's because with DDP, you never see it coming.

"Where were the tuner sets like NCAA?"

What tuner sets? All we got were a couple broken patches.

The Good -
Franchise Mode's slight improvements. Still missing any sort of personality for the Draft...

The Bad -
Online Franchise. Once focused on as a major feature has been left untouched and unimproved.

The Ugly -
TUNER SETS! A feature listed on the box and never actually used... ever.

I'm going with one of the worst MADDEN games ever put out. Graphics sucked, tackling looked crazy, camera angles were jumpy and warped, commentating was creepy, and I was too sickened by it within 2 weeks to play it anymore. Used to be my favorite game of all. Now... the saddest.

i had fun with 12 as a whole, but 12 suffered from the same problems as every next gen madden.

AI- does not know how to play QB....etc

i am sick of getting 4 ints per game( its sooo bad i edited my DB's to have mid 30's catch while having the int slider at 0)

sliders cant fix this........

i am sick of the cpu throwing deep(all game) into coverage while a wide open 4yd gain is open.

it could be brady, manning or brees they all make stupid, late throws....

i think i may have found a way to make fix this with edits(still testing) but the cpu playcalling is awful, they call wayyyyyy tooooo many deep routes....(without a legit checkdown option)
the cpu isn't efficient enough to maintain an offense. way too many deep balls.

we call plays that are efficient and logical the cpu picks all sorts of plays that we the user know wont work and would never call( and we have the ability to improvise and we still cant get them to work, so the cpu is crippled when they call them)

12 was refreshing for a while or in head to head, but too broken to last longer gaming sessions imo.

I would have like to see random weather. It seems that the weather was alwayys pre-determined every game. I liked in '07 where you could set the temperature and the conditions and every game had random patterns. I could turn '12 off 4 times to restart and the weather was the same no matter what. Although the unis got dirty in '12, the field stayed the same. Needs field degration, needs wind to affect the flight of the ball whether you're passing or kicking. A nice addition would be classic Super Bowl match-ups and the venues they played at.

As long as people keep buying Madden the way they've been doing that in the past years, nothing will change at all and the complaints will stay the same, year in, year out!
