Madden '12 is the pinnacle

[prbobo]

of the series on 360 and PS3 in my opinion. I'm curious what you guys think. Gameplay was solid. Franchise Mode wasn't perfect but was probably the best ever this generation. What do ya'll think?

I have the ps3 version.

'12 is the most recent Madden I've played (Probably gonna get '15 this year though) and I have to agree that it was the most sound Madden I've played this generation. The gameplay was very good and I really appreciated the additions they made to franchise mode that year (expanded preseason rosters, practice, free agent bidding, real rookie faces etc.). My only 2 gripes were the super jump LB's and no Extra Point wrap up show from '10 and '11.

Very under-appreciated when it came out but I have to agree.When you find the right tweaks to the sliders for yourself,the game plays great.The editing during franchise is a big plus.

I edit the linebackers down by 30 each for jumping and the defensive tackles block shed by 30 also.It doesn't take that long to make it play even better.I edit the NCAA '12 draft classes and tweak the ratings to get a realistic franchise.

I may be playing it for awhile.I had it for the 360 but gave my 360 to my son when his broke and got a ps3 for next to nothing and bought a copy and NCAA'12 for a few bucks.

Do you use the roster editor to download and make these attribute changes? Why do you lower the block she'd on DTs? This all sounds interesting. I'm thinking about getting back into it again. Do you do 30 team control? What slider set do you use? I play either coach mode or cpu vs. cpu, so human sliders don't really matter for me.

I'm playing it on my ps3 just now. I'm on Ultimate Team, and my team is the LA RAMS 2014. I'm trying to collect all the coaches and stadiums so I can get more coins. I collected all the Sure Footed Stadiums for 20.000 and a Barry Sanders card.

I've used the editor but have also easily edited in game just the same.

The purpose in lowering block shed for dt's is that besides LB's jumping,the dt's getting too much of a pass rush is probably the games biggest gameplay issue.You don't expect the Colts very mediocre dt's to get as much pressure as Mathis and Freeney and this pretty much negates this and makes them anchor more.

I use 32 team control because if you're somewhat picky with player management it has been a must for years now including from what they're saying this years version.
