Madden NFL 12 / Game

Classic madden with mini games

Got this game for my 8yr almost 9 yr old son. We had no clue how to play it but we did the training part first and he figured it out right away. Now every Sunday he wakes up and go straight for the game and plays until kick-off. He loves it and so do I!

Let me start off by saying I have always played the demos for Madden games year after year and they always seem somewhat lackluster or at the very least more of the same. I was into the Blitz series for a bit but that was only because I liked the hits and the tackling within that series of games. I bought NCAA 11 because I felt it was heading in the right direction and I have played it to death but I have never gotten into Madden. Now we flash up to present day and this is the first Madden game I have purchased...ever. The demo actually blew me away enough to warrant a purchase! When I played the demo everything was fluid, from the running and passing games to the cuts in between plays. But what impressed me the most comes back to loving the hits and tackling of the over the top Blitz series. Madden 11, though not over the top, delivers in its tackling system, gone are the days of seeing the same animation over and over again, also gone are the days of "phantom tackles" where your receiver is far away from the tackler and yet they magically catch him. The collision detection is fantastic in this game and upon buying it I have to say the whole package is even better then the demo was. I actually have cringed at some of the hits that have happened and the way that a players body reacts to multiple people hitting him is very realistic. If a player is fighting his way through a tackle and gets blindsided, you see it like it was real, no more canned animations that defy the laws of physics! The graphics are fantastic but I am not one to focus on that aspect of a game. For those of you who are though...they are great! Being from Michigan I am a Detroit fan through and through and they got Ford field perfect. I have never personally been in an open top NFL field so you will have to trust the other reviews that they got the lighting "perfect" for those fields. All I know is that the weather effects are extremely believable and the stadiums look pretty :P Only con here is the crowd...but it seems that every sports game has a problem on the crowd so nothing new here. Having not played Madden before I guess I fall under a Franchise Mode player since I like to be able to control everything about a team. I haven't finished a season yet but I am five games in and I gotta say the Injured Reserve list works like you would want it to. Also cut days in the pre-season are brutal but not in a bad way! The idea that there is a diamond in the rough makes you have to think long and hard about your veterans, especially if they haven't played well all pre-season. Free agent bidding is more fun than I expected but you have to go in with a plan and try your best to stick to it or you will lose out. I haven't tried the other modes yet so you will have to consult the other reviews for some more insight into those. This game is amazing and is the most fun I have had in a football game in years. For me it is the best Madden to date and it may even be better than NCAA 11 which for me is pretty big. I wanted to get out here and just let people know that even for somewhat who isn't a Madden die hard this game is amazing. As long as you like football and like sports games then I think you should love this game, it has everything I ever wanted and what I have always expected from a Madden game!
