With that said, and like how others have said, there are always sliders that can make this game play as sim as possible. But for me, and I will keep saying this over and over, out of the box before any patches, this game is the most enjoyable Madden I've played since 08. I don't agree how during the show they kept saying if you liked 11, you will love 12. I absolutely hated 11 because of the suction tackling and the poor running game especially compared to NCAA. The more I played 11, the more I hated it to the point I just stopped playing. With 12, the more I play, the more I am enjoying it with the improved running/blocking, graphics/lighting, etc.

I think you summed it up pretty much like I have.

I didn't like 11 very much either. One guy said he played 10 for 4 weeks, 11 for 2.5 weeks and sees more playing time with 12.

I see the same thing.

to many people are saying this guy said it this or that .....But what do you care if he like it or hate it ...forget what everybody else think you make up your own mind.......

Great show. Like the reviewers said Madden 12 is Madden 11.5.

I'm so frustrated! Please 2K bring out another FB game PLEASE. Or EA please do more than minor updates every year.

Well this is what this website is for is to hear impressions from others and then you can form your own. So far as I expected, I'm seeing mixed reactions but for me, I absolutely love this game. If they can keep this gameplay next year with a few minor tweaks which I'm hoping they can fix with a patch this year and cross my fingers, improve next years presentation and have something like dare I say it, 2K5's, then it'll be the best Madden ever.

I haven't lined up for a Madden in a long time. It used to be a yearly thing for me and it wasn't just for getting the game but for also the experience and talking football with random fans. Tonight, I will be at my local Gamestop to pick up my copy.

Appreciate the listen guys.

As I said on the show, Madden 12 is a good game, but clearly not without its fault and isn't all that different from M11.

It's a fun game, but I know echo the feelings of many when I say M11 should have been what M12 is.

Just finished listening. One thing stuck out to me above all. With all the criticism, and flaws that were noted, all I kept hearing over and over again - to a man - was how much they are continuing to play it.

You might be different than me, then, because the only good reviewer is myself. At the end of the day, that's all that counts.

Good show overall. It would be nice if you could get to more callers. Maybe get to a couple in the first 30 minutes or so.
Keep it up.

All I know Bucky is if I listened to all the reviews of music, movies and games all my life, I would have missed out on a lot of the above.

Reviews, at best, are strangers subjective opinions.

That's why I'm the best critic.

Your method works for you, my method works best for me. To each their own.
