Definitely not. As I said in the review, 12 is a clear step forward for the series...it's just not a great game still because of all the nagging issues. Of course, I don't pay for most of my games (OS does) so that's a bit of a different story.

If I owned 11 and had to pay $60 for 12, I'd probably have to be a pretty big fan of the Madden series to do that, or a part of a great community of online gamers. The patched up version of 11 with some good sliders will play a good enough game of Football if you don't want to make the swtich. BUT 12 will play a better game of football soon enough with some patches and sliders -- so might be prudent to wait until then as well.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Review (360/PS3)

Heven't played yet, but these problems are the same from year to year. I'm surprised that so much football missing from a football simulation can still draw a 7.5. I would think that realism would be a larger portion of the score.

I had 9,10,11 and 12 is better than all three of those just based on the Offline Franchise if thats a mode you love to play. It has a screwy interface to be sure and it takes some getting used to, but you can't knock the added features. The whole thing with bigger rosters and real IR is a rather nice.

Granted it has its flaws in offline franchise but its still way better than we have had for a few years so I think its a big plus.

But like Chris said if you just play the games online or something or don't care so much about offline franchise then 12 might not be worth it until its all patched up and you get it used or at a cheaper price, but shoot I'm already getting it for $40 with free shipping from Amazon so I can't knock that!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Review (360/PS3)

Very informative review, imo.

It kinda seems like the gloves are off this year when it comes to some of the reviews of this years game.

Kinda disappointing that Madden at this point of this gen, should be really hitting it's stride...rather than still suffering from years old issues, and seemingly introducing new ones.

What I'm getting outta the reviews I've read is...that Madden '12' is a decent game, but nothing too special. And most likely not a..."Must have".
