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

"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

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

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.

Commentary is so bad, I traded Steve Smith because of Collinsworth constantly saying how Wide recievers lose speed after years and how he still has his and the hands are still there. EVERY GAME, AT THE SAME TIME. After 5 games, I just traded him... I couldn't take it anymore

Am I missing something? I keep hearing about a deeper franchise mode in this game? What exactly is deeper about it? Play a game. Sim. next week... play a game. sim.

If insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results, then EA Tiburon is a lunatic asylum. I was interested in Madden 12 until I played the demo. Sure it's slicker than 11, but it just feels... disconnected I mean, I feel disconnected from the gameplay. Then there are the same old flaws. Not to mention making Franchise worse than it was.

Compare with NHL 11. It's crazy intense, and at the end of each close game I feel exhausted. Then there is the franchise mode. I've played for a year and am still learning all the options. I'll ignore NHL 12 for now as I haven't bought it.

The fact is, NHL 11 is a far more involving experience last year than Madden 12 is today. And it seems will be better than Madden 13, perhaps 14 will be.

I'm much more of a football fan than a hockey fan, but not so much that I'm willing to tolerate work-arounds than a geniune game. I'll spend this year worrying about whether NHL 12 is worth $60 bucks more than 11.
