EDIT 9/3... see end
Final Edit 9/5

Brief first impressions from playing the game for a few hours today: (I skipped Madden 11, so any comparisons to previous versions are Madden 10 or before)

Pros:
- Visuals; stadiums, fields, weather look very nice. Crowd is still a little boring but that doesn't bother me.
- The Franchise Mode improvements are nice. I haven't made it to an offseason yet, but the expanded rosters, cut days, and IR system force you into some tough decisions which are a welcome challenge.
- New pump fake system; I haven't read about this in any of the other reviews, but in my opinion it's one of the best new features. Unlike previous games, where there is one 'pump fake' button which makes the QB perform a generic pump fake, Madden 12 lets you hold the left trigger (on 360) and press any receiver to pump fake to that receiver. This is very useful for pulling linebackers out of the middle of the field and throwing behind them, or...Read more

This review is from: Madden NFL 12 (Video Game)
I think Madden 12 has made some progress....I think. However, Madden 11 was so bad that it's hard to tell. I'm unsure if I like it more because Madden 11 was garbage, or if it has some actually quality to it. Here is as list of things I consider to be pro's & con's of Madden 12.

All of my experience's are based from playing on the All Madden setting.

Pro's.

1.)The Presentation. The presentation is very good. It definitely feels/looks more authentic and adds excitement before the game. The presentation in previous Madden's was a joke. I think it was Madden 10 that had Jet's flying over and fire works going off before every game. Doe's this normally happen? Jet's...maybe. Seems like I've seen that happen on occasion, but it doesn't happen before every game for every team. But fireworks...before a NOON kickoff? What team shoot's off fire workers during the day before kick off? Ridiculous. I sometimes wondered if the Madden programmers actually watched...Read more

This game is nothing but a let down. There are some cool add-ons..but it seems that they cut their time to work on the actual gameplay of the game. The announcers screw up often, and say things very late. The CPU that you play knows your play very often. I find it that there will be only one person BARELY open, if you throw it at the right time. No matter what difficulty I put this on, I have the same problems. They have the def. players go exactly where your WR routes are, except for one. Everything seems choppy. The online gameplay is awful for the connection. I played quite a bit of online games, and each one was extremely laggy. They spent too much time on the "new enhancements" and didnt put enough time into the gameplay itself. It is a huge let down. If you want to see what I mean, just spend 60 dollars yourself, and check it out..have fun.
